Mostly cause it's sheer and from the swatches I've seen, it looks like stained nails or something. Oh how it does not do green polish justice!<br /><br />But I'm glad you've come over to the green side :DAmandahttp://etchedinthesky.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8464987304149443821.post-50603227668277231022012-08-05T02:54:27.181-04:002012-08-05T02:54:27.181-04:00Mojito Madness is one of my fave greens, too!

It helps that my 7-yr old niece loves every crazy thing I put on my nails. So when my mom makes a face, my niece screams, "I LOVE IT!" lol!Nidia Dohertynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8464987304149443821.post-74100609067491724422012-08-05T02:06:00.936-04:002012-08-05T02:06:00.936-04:00Jade is the New Black is a great green!

I think if you're uncomfortable with it, it's about finding the shades that flatter your skin tone or compliment an outfit.

Isn't it crazy how one comment can give you a complex about something? You can get a million compliments and then one negative will stand out like a sore thumb....or a "green thumb" :) This looks beautiful though!

Remembering her words, I didn't wear green for years, but guess what I like to wear now? <br /><br />It is surprising how much an offhand comment can impact someone. Stephanie, it is good that you didn't wait any longer to wear green! I am going to wear green polish until I get to be 100! <br /><br />I have decided that my new attitude toward people who want to tell me what to do/say/wear is F ALL Y'ALL, accompanied by the appropriate gesture.

I think they are great. People get stuck in concepts (like me regarding age appropriate !?!?!). Damn, I love to see women with each nail a different color. Adds happy to life, a bit of fun to get us through the harder days or just make us shine out even more. Who even cares what someone else thinks?<br />Yikes, I do sound a bit contradictory here.
