Swatchin- Green with envy


As promised I swatched some of my new colors.. and even a few that I have had but never taken photos of while wearing them. I picked six green hues from my stash from China Glaze to show off.


All of these are swatched without a top coat. Left to Right: On the Rocks, Turned Up Turquoise, In the Lime Light, Entourage, Kiwi Cool-Ada, Outta Bounds

On the Rocks is a sheer blue green that I really like. I think this would look great over other colors as well as alone. I swatched this as three coats. I have yet to try to wear this color but think it might take up to four to get it nice and thick... or maybe a good base coat of a nude or white under it to make it really show its real tone. Will have to play with this to see how it looks in various ways.

Natural Light

Turned Up Turquoise is a bright blue green with a shimmer to it. With a top coat this one really is shimmery and pretty. I used it for stamping in a look I have yet to post and I loved the way it looked. This may be one of my go to colors now.

In the Lime Light is a highlighter green color with a shimmer to it. If you like Kiwi Cool-Ada then you will like this color as well. They are almost identical, but this one has the shimmer added to it, and it doesn't streak as easily/ much as Kiwi does.

Entourage is a light grassy green with a shimmer to it. I love this color. My only complaint about it is that it stains like a mofo. I made the mistake of wearing it the first time I tried it without a base coat and my nails were stained a nice yellow color for a few weeks. Just bleh! Still this color is happy making for sure.

Kiwi Cool-Ada is a neon highlighter marker green. Love love love the neon colors. Must be the flamboyant in me.

Outta Bounds is a Pine green color. Really reminds me of the trees up in the mountains of Washington during winter time. All deep green with just a very slight hint of blue. This color is shimmery and maybe frosty even. I don't know... its not really either but somewhat in between.

So no one has asked for any swatches... hmm. Guess I will wing it until/ unless I get a request.

Happy polishing!
