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 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.

Misa – Sweet Pleasure

misa-sweet-pleasure-nail-swatch

Sweet Pleasure from Misa is a nude jelly based polish with a blue micro-shimmer. Extremely sheer, the natural nail shows through even after three heavy coats. Quite nice, I might try this again as a top coat over something else.

Update 29th September 2012 I used Misa Sweet Pleasure over Rimmel’s Black Cherries, now you can really see the blue shimmer:

Misa – Lounging by the Pool

misa-nail-swatch-blue-lounging-by-the-pool

Misa – Lounging by the Pool is a an extremely sheer light blue shimmery polish. The color is lovely and is made to resemble the color of water in a pool and it does this very well. The issue with this nail polish is the formula, too sheer and takes a long time to dry. You really need at least three coats to get bottle color and maybe even four.  I used three coats for this mani with no top coat.

Misa – Baby I Love You

misa-baby-i-love-you-nail-polish-swatch-pink

I LOVE Baby I Love You from Misa.  A soft corally pink that is very girly, feminine and a perfect shade for summer. This is the exact kind of color I am into at the moment. Great cream based polish with only two coats needed for full opacity.

Misa – First Kiss

misa first kiss pink nail polish swatch

Misa #3 First Kiss nail polish is a great medium pink with an ever so slight purple shimmer through it. I did not think much of it in the bottle but once I painted this on my nails I fell in LOVE. This is a pink I will be coming back to over and over again!

These pictures were taken after two coats:

Once I had this on I felt inspired to try these great little nail art decals I had lying around with baby pink and baby blue grapes.

Misa – Beyond Infinity

misa-beyond-infinity-gray-nail-polish-swatch

Misa  #269 Beyond Infinity nail polish is a slate grey color that throws of tiny green and purple flecks (really only visible in sunlight).

misa-beyond-infinity-gray-nail-polish-swatch

The formula was nice and smooth and only two coats to full opacity. Here are various shots of this polish in all different lighting situations.

The color was nice enough, but I felt compelled to jazz it up and found that a top coat of the glittery Sally Hansen’s Glitz Gal was a perfect companion. It made me feel as though my nails were made out of the cosmos, the pictures don’t do it justice, lol

Misa – Double Date

Misa - Double Date

Very pretty purple lavender with a pearl finish. At first I was not to convinced by this color, but as I wore it through the next two days I started to really love the soft lilac shimmery polish, looks absolutely fabulous in the sun.

When I first applied it I was very surprised at just how sheer this polish is, probably need 3 to 4 coats to get bottle color. Decent opacity at three coats, would have gone for a forth but it took forever to dry at 3 coats.

But a day or two after I applied this polish it started peeling off in sheets. Such a shame as the color is nice, it may have something to do with needing so many coats to get to the desired color or maybe it’s just the formula, either way great color but no staying power.
