For a while I was loving the rich dark green shade ala OPI's Hong Kong collection but lately a more minty green has taken over the scene. From toes to fingernails I see this shade on the fashionable young and old.
I recently wore it on my fingers (can't you tell I did it myself?!) and was chatted up by numerous girls searching for that exact shade. My pick? Essie's Mint Candy Apple.
Other minty greens that are divine include:
Chanel's in Jade (if you can hunt down a bottle)
Sally Hansen's Insta-Dri Fast Dry Nail Colour in Mint Sprint
OPI's Go on Green!
Joe Fresh's Mint
And check out Avon's shades coming this fall.
If you can't commit to funky greeny blue nails all day then try your toes. I reserve that for colours I'm wary of on my fingers!
