Nail Polish Battle 2021: Greens

On Thursday I looked at the glitter polishes from 2021, today I am looking at the green polishes. Green isn't a colour of choice usually, but I was looking for a replacement for the green Yes Love K036 polish I used up.

Aj Nails - Peacock // Orly - Plastic Jungle // China Glaze - Head to Moji-Toes // Barry M - Rock Pool // Barry M - Huckleberry 2021 // Barry M - Jalapeño // Barry M -  Evergreen // Barry M - Thyme

Choosing my top three wasn't too difficult;


I bought Aj Nails Peacock when I realised I didn't have a neon green polish, this one is opaque in 2-3 coats which for a neon I think is good, very bright.


Jalapeño was part of the Summer 2021 gelly collection. It is a deep green shade which is light enough to tell it is green and not black. Almost a one coater with a paddle brush for easy application.


Which means that Orly Plastic Jungle is the winner, part of the 2021 Electric Escape collection. Firstly I wanted to say that this polish it notoriously bad at photographing accurately, it is less neon than in the photo. The brush is a nice wide paddle shape and was opaque in two coats. For me this polish replaced Yes Love K036, the finish of that was more rubberised whereas this is a cream. A bright grass green shade I like to use in nail art.

Nails: Top 5 Summer Polishes 2021

Summer Solstice will be next Monday and so I should get around to sharing my top summer polishes for 2021. These are the polishes from my collection I will be reaching for more often.

If you are interested you can see my summer picks for 2020 here2019 here2018 here2017 here2015 here and 2014 here.


Barry M - Pineapple Punch // Dystopia - Couldn't Miss This One This Year // Orly - Synthetic Symphony // Polish Me Silly - Glow Girl // AJ Nails - Peacock

Barry M Pineapple Punch this polish was released earlier this year and its very bright yellow, clearly not neon but bright enough.


Dystopia Couldn't Miss This One This Year is a photochromatic polish which means in sunlight it changes colour. Great for summer as there isn't much sunlight here the rest of the year.

 

Orly Synthetic Symphony is a bright purple polish, quite bold and very difficult to photograph.


Polish Me Silly Glow Girl a flakie topper, I like it over black as it shows off the blue, purple, pink colour shift.

 

AJ Nails Peacock is very much a neon green, one that is opaque in two coats and no white base coat required.

Topic Tuesday: St. Patrick Day Polishes


A typical polish for St. Patrick's Day would be something green, I recently got this shade Peacock from Aj Nails Collection which is a very neon green.
