Remember when that Chanel chalky minty colored polish was all the rage? I have to admit, I hated it. I mean, I thought it looked adorable on 20 something hipsters and the like …but it wasn’t for me. The other day I just happened upon a post on Gwen’s blog, Confessions of a Control Freak, wherein her nails were painted a much darker version of this minty trend and almost died for it. I commented my love for it and the lovely Gwen sent me the lacquer! Thanks Lady!
The arrival of my new Opi Hong Kong Collection Jade Is the New Black quickly prompted the removal of my chipping Parlez-Vous OPI?
*In the daylight… and I love the contrast with my pink stone in my engagement ring

I wasn’t a huge fan of the Chanel either, but then I liked Essie’s version that they came out with in their winter collection.
Liking this new OPI as well. Need to check out the Hong Kong collection!

I just did a post of myself with my new Jade polish too, you’ll have to check it out! I love it; I have a robin’s egg blue on right now but as soon as it chips I’m green for St. Pattys!

I just changed my China Glaze Grey Avalanche (favorite winter color) for red. Thought it’s time to think spring.

Ooohh, I love this shade SO much more than the minty green! The color just didn’t look rich enough, I don’t know.

I have the same color and I think it’s gorgeous!! Can’t wait to wear this one..

It IS the new black! I have a dark green Barry M shade, and it’s amazing. Still dark and tough, but not as harsh as black.
Still love black nails though!
