My Green Nail Polish Collection

I am really getting into green nail polish this year, so far here are all the green nail polishes I have bought for 2012.

green nail polish

1. L’Oreal - Blue Reef

Not so much blue as the name states but more of a green in my eyes. A tealish sort of opaque colored nail polish that I like to wear when my nails are short.

2. L’Oreal – Perle De Jade

Pastel, seafoam green. Quite nice, need a few coats, at least three due to streaking.

3. L’Oreal – Majestic Green

Metallic  chartreuse green. Quite lovely, reviewed here:  Majestic Green

4. Orly – Here Comes Trouble

Pretty fine green glitter in a green tinted jelly, quite a festive polish, although part of Orly’s Pin – Up collection, me thinks it would fit better in a Xmas collection, fun but not very sexy. Reviewed here: Here Comes Trouble

5. Nubar – Green Tea

Love this amazing true green nail polish. My favourite one to wear out of the green bunch.

6. Misa – The Great Green

Nice and subtle, iridescent green polish.

7. Misa – Like It Like That

Metallic, iridescent, vivid green polish. Beetle back color, very cool

8. Rimmel – Misty Jade

Bright seafoam green polish, summery and fun. Reviewed here: Misty Jade

9. Essie – Navigate Her

Another fav, love the amazing retro enamel green, so cute! Reviewed here: Navigate Her

10. OPI – Mermaid’s Tears

A pretty, dusty, pale green. Reviewed here: Mermaid’s Tears

11. Orly – Jealous, Much?

Pastel green color, almost translucent. Reviewed here: Jealous, Much?

12. Revlon – Emerald City (matte)

Bought this because I loved the shade, but somehow I missed the fact that this is a matte nail polish, as a result not a true fan of this polish.

L’Oreal – Mystic Blue

The final polish from the L’OREAL L’OR ELECTRIC COLLECTION this one is called Mystic Blue. This is one of those polishes that some will call blue and others will call purple, the color is amazing, like a deep velvety purplish blue. It is a very richly pigmented metallic polish, you only need two coats for full opacity. I love this polish, it reminds me of the one I wore over 15 years ago as a teenager when I went to see The Red Hot Chilli Peppers for the first time!

L’OREAL – Magic Croisette

Another awesome polish from the L’Oreal L’Or Electric collection this one is called Magic Croisette. A royal blue with a strong shimmer in a yellowy teal. A very striking metallic polish that glistens in the sunlight and looks somewhat more opaque and darker in the shade.

I used three coats for this mani, cannot complain about the formula. I really like this one, but Majestic Green from this collection is still my fav!

L’Oreal – Majestic Green

L’Oreal Paris Le Vernis L’Or Electric Majestic Green nail polish

A few days ago while leisurely strolling through Priceline I came across three gorgeous metallic nail colors from the L’Oreal L’Or Electric collection. Of course I instantly bought all three and the first one I had to try immediately was Majestic Green.

Majestic Green is a chartreuse, electric green with a strong yellow shimmer. It really glistens in the sun and the tone shifts depending on the angle. I used three coats, the formula was smooth, without much streaking, the brush was a bit too wide, I kept accidentally painting my finger. Love this color, I don’t own anything else like it.

L’Oréal Resist & Shine Titanium # 501

L’Oreal-Resist-&-Shine-Titanium-501-red-nail-polish

L’Oréal Resist & Shine Titanium # 501 is a dark, almost blood red nail polish.

Only need two coats for full opacity, the formula is smooth and it dries fairly quickly. This is a great dark red polish, the type I mainly enjoy wearing in the cooler months.

Images of the polish in different lighting conditions, it actually photographs a lot lighter than it looks to the naked eye.

L’Oréal Resist & Shine Titanium # 602

L’Oreal-Resist-&-Shine-Titanium-602

L’Oréal Resist & Shine Titanium #602 is a gorgeous shimmery dark pink almost purple color. Every time I wear this polish I am reminded of beautiful pink cherry blossoms. This is one of my all time favourite nail colors, one that I have been coming back to for years.

Looks great at two coats:

Added a third coat and it doesn’t make enough of a difference to bother.

I love how this polish looks with a matte finish top coat. I just used the one from Rimmel.
