NOTD - Barry M Mint Green

Here is my Nail of the Day (or yesterday), take a good look as it's for one day and one day only! Never again will green nail polish grace my folicles! I took one look at my nails once applied and instantly thought "Grotbags". Nothing about this colour made me feel classy, elegant or sophisticated - all the things I'm not ... but aspire to be. Maybe my age is catching up with me and it is becoming a little bit more difficult to be as daring as I once was? Who knows - I just know this colour is not for me.

On a positive note the colour applied really well with only 2 coats required. It is smooth and the finish has a lovely shine. It is a pretty colour in the bottle but unfortunately made me look like a Halloween reject!

How are you finding green nail polish? Love or Loathe?

  1. I'm on the fence with this one. It took me a while to "get used" to it.

    Grotbags!? I'd prefer a Rod and Emu colour anyday! (Royal Blue)

  3. As you know, for me its loathe... I had this on yesterday and it had to come off before anyone saw me. The application and consistancy was lovely but I just can't pull off mint green nails :)

  5. I wasn't sure at 1st but I went all out toes and fingers yesterday and I liked it. Everyone else hated it except for my sister's gay best friend who thought it was MAC peppermint patti- so impressed! x

  9. I dont think that this color is sooo bad. It wouldn't be a color for me to wear on my nails. I like the bright greens better.

  10. If you asked me a couple of years back, I would have cringed even by looking at it...
    However, I gave it a go, and it seems summery and fresh, even if it's a bit unusual...lifts my mood in a way...!!!
    Definitely not work suitable though...;)

  16. I'm loving green nails! I've had on Spring green by Barry M for about 2 weeks now, but I managed to buy Mint green the other day and now can't wait for this colour to chip to use it!
