Going Green from Fingers to Toes
If you’re bored with the same old nail color…you are in luck, a new trend has been forecasted: green nail polish is back in! And I’m not talking neon, or bright green, but rather dark green. Very dark. Almost black looking. I have a bad habit of hardly ever updating the colors in my nail polish collection. Collection? I know, it sounds ridiculous–but really it only consists of a few colors I’ve collected here and there. Nail polish doesn’t last forever though gals, don’t forget that. When you unscrew that top and the lacquer has turned gooey, unfortunately its time to part ways and throw it in the trash. My newest shade is a light peach color…remember–very hard to find? But, I was pleasantly surprised to see green added to the roster of trendy nail colors for the upcoming season. It’s brilliant. Nix the black and dark brown this fall, dark green is such a refreshing new idea and look. What this shade, you ask since there are so many? While really, there aren’t so many. Its’ going to be difficult to find dark green polish right now. In a few months, its may be another story. But, back to color scheme–think Hunter Green if you have ever been familiar with such a thing. Forest green, dark emerald…you catch my drift hopefully.
The forest green shades are earthy, and may be easier to wear than plain old black or dark brown. OPI (of course) and Orly have issued their shades of dark green polish…but sadly, I couldn’t find the new shade, Here Today…Aragon Tomorrow, on the OPI website. This shade is supposed to compliment darker skin. Orly’s Enchanted Forest–a lighter forest green is set to release in a Fall 2009 collection which explains why I couldn’t find it online. BUT I was able to locate a photo of the collection itself courtesy of a fellow blogger…
Enchanted Forest is the dark green right in the middle. Below is a small color swatch of it…
You can purchase Enchanted Forest on VictoriasNailSupply.com for $3.15! Otherwise, as for now it will be pretty difficult to find. Kim Kardashian is supposedly a big fan of the new dark green nail trend and wears Enchanted Forest herself. I personally am going to hunt down the OPI shade Here Today…Aragon Tomorrow. I like the whole idea of dark, dark green on my nails rather than a more emerald shade. I’ll survey if this trend survived come this fall, stay tuned!
