Seeing Green

Green is back everyone! I've looked at OPI, Essie, Orly, and Zoya with their new fall collections and they all have one thing in common, dark greens. I'm predicting a big jump to dark green polishes in the nail polish world. Dark green polish has had a infamous reputation for making your skin look "sickly", in comparison with your nails. But with these cute colors, I'm sure we'll make it work.
 For OPI in their fairly new "Texas" line, we have "Dont Mess With OPI" in a striking dark foresty green, an almost tree  like shade.
For Orly, we have "Lucky Duck", my personal favorite, in a true dark Jade color from their "Birds of A Feather" collection.
Then for Essie we have a nearly swamp like green color, with murky undertones of charcol gray. This is from their fall collection, centering on classic handbag/clutch colors, hence the name "Power Clutch".
And lastly we have a brand which for many of you is a first. It's called Zoya, and free of toluene, formaldehyde, DBP (phthalates) , camphor, and are vegan friendly. Our color we have here is from their "Smoke" collection entitled "Dree", and is a muted darker version of a spring green. Click here for more information on this enviromentally friendly brand of polishes.

  1. I like your blog because it manages to cover all of your three themes without much trouble. But the quote at the top is in white and it might be a little hard to see. I still thought that it was a little too pink.
