That's right... I'm giving up my nailpolish and my car and my AquaNet and I'm gonna SAVE THE PLANET!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LOL, you didn't think I was serious, did you? Me, the Queen of Chemicals???
Well, one thing I *am* going to do is post pictures of green polish. There are not enough green polishes in the world, but I've rounded up the greens from my collection and I'm going to post them here for all to admire.
I will most likely have to do this in three or four installments, so consider this Part One!
On to the greens!
I'll start off with some more common and well-loved greens:
China Glaze Gussied-Up Green
Color Club Limelight
Misa Green With Envy
Misa Toxic Seduction
NARS Zulu
Zoya Suvi
Zoya Tangy
Sinful San Fransisco
New York Summer Amaranth
Nubar Green Tea
NYX Las Vegas
Nubar Grass Green
OPI Green-Wich Village
China Glaze Outta Bounds
Rescue Beauty Lounge Recycle
Sinful Show Me The Way
Sally Hansen Glow
Rimmel Camouflage

Many, many more to come!

Visual Overload!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the swatches.
i don't do green but you gave me lemmings!
ReplyDeleteOh man, green & blue are my all time fabourite np colours ever! I love that NYS. Beautiful :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm still drooling over SH Glow since the last time you posted it. It's beauuuutiful!
ReplyDeleteOh boy, I am already salivating for the olive green's I am sure you will show!
ReplyDeleteAnonymous, oops sorry! :D You're very welcome!
ReplyDeleteTink, really? At least they are pretty to look at :D
Carla G, yay! I love green, blue and purple the most... And brown... and orange... Hmm... I see where this is going lol :D
Emelie, I have another polish that looks like that too- Maybelline Go Go Green. Can you get Maybelline in Sweden? They're quite similar! :D
VampyVarnish, you know, sadly, there aren't too many olive greens in existence, but I do have a handful that I'm working on swatching :D
zuuuuulllluuuuuu where are yooooouuu???
ReplyDeleteGreens are my all time favourites. Thank you for these swatches, although you make me want Sinful San Francisco and Sinful Show Me The Way even more than I thought possible!
ReplyDeleteCan't get Sinful polishes down here though :(
Gorgeous in Green Scrangie!!!
ReplyDeleteI think I just died a little bit!
ReplyDeleteYou know I love greens.
I'm going to say like Steph "screw zulu" lol;)
*Drooling*
ReplyDeleteI am so happy over the fact that Gussied up is coming to me, soon. It looks gorgeous on you! Greens are so vivid and beautiful!
*HAPPINESS OVERLOAD, REBOOTING* :)
ReplyDeleteI do love green nal polish! And now I crave every one of these that I don't already own... You tempt me every day with new wonderful polishes. If only they where easy to get hold of, but no, it has to be difficult, hasn't it? Giving me a real challenge in life. Well, it might take me some time but one day they will be mine! :D
ReplyDeleteMom likes Nubar and Recycle...for greens. :P
ReplyDeleteI love you!
ZULU IS AMAZING.
ReplyDeleteAnd it doesn't help that they discontinued it ;)
It just makes me want it even more...
AAAAAAH I adore greens! Do you want to kill me or what?? LOL! J/k, love this post!
ReplyDeleteAndie, oh no! Sorry if I've created a Zulu lemming!
ReplyDeleteMazoo, you're welcome! I have a big shoebox full of green polishes that I'm photographing for this project :D
SiennaX, why thank you dear! :D
Sanna, you look awesome in green :D And lol, SCREW ZULU!!!!
Badbomben, oh, I know you're going to love it!! :D
Lina-Elvira, hooray! <3 <3 <3
Sminkan, I don't know why more of these companies don't sell all over the world! It seems like more customers = more money, but maybe I'm wrong!
Mom, yay, love you too!
Tiffany, you may want to sign the Polish Addict's petition to bring back Zulu!! I hope they do bring back Zulu, it really is unique!
Rocketqueen, hehehe! :D I'm so happy to see a lot of you guys love green!! :D
I'm currently wearing Sinful's San Francisco and I've gotten so many compliments on it!
ReplyDeleteAlso, I'm sure I'm not the first to ask, but HOW do you get your polish so absolutely perfect? I always struggle to get mine nicely rounded near the cuticle like yours!
Sasha, yay, green rocks! As for the polish application, I guess it just takes practice! And light pressure on the brush with only a small amound of polish, it helps control where the polish ends up :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tip!
ReplyDeleteP.s. Love your blog, it fuels my polish addiction =)
Sasha, thank you! And you're welcome :)
ReplyDeleteI think i found a dupe for Nars Zulu, and it looks even closer if you add around 10 drops of black nail polish.
ReplyDeleteBatchy, ooooh what is it?
ReplyDeleteThe brand is Tropical Manicure, and the polish is number 14. Without the black added it is a brighter green, but it a jelly, and if you add black it look so much like Zulu.

ReplyDeleteThis website has it, but the swatch is not accurate.
Thanks, Batchy! I actually picked this up a couple weeks ago :)
ReplyDeleteCan you recommend a a bright apple green?
