OPI 'Jade is the New Black' (St Patricks Day number 4) Green nail polish swatch

-
Hi everyone! We really are getting so close to the end of the list; it feels unreal (no, seriously, is this a dream?). We have already dived into the depth of six fantastic nail polishes to wear this St Patricks Day! I am really glad that I chose to do the list this way; it is so much more interesting to get into what makes each and every nail polish special, because each and every nail polish is special. With that little monologue outta the way let's take a deep dive into the number four polish on our list.


Actually! I take it back! I don't wan't to take a deep dive into this polish; it's too dark and murky and I won't be able to see anything! Okay, okay, I know it's not a literal deep dive, I'ma just jokin' around! This beautiful polish is Jade is the New Black by OPI. And, the name says it all really; OPI has done my job for me in describing the colour and now I feel like I'm lazy, but I will still try and get into it a bit more! The colour is (quite obviously) jade, y'know like the jewel. That's it. I'm done. Don't got nothing else to say about the colour, oh wait! I do! There is one concern for me when it comes to dark colours like this; staining! But, even though I didn't leave this on my nails for a very long time, I didn't get any staining as I took it off. That was a real concern for me coz' I couldn't remember whether or not it stains!


Moving on to the formula section. I find that OPI is very consistent with their formulas (sadly the last OPI polish that I reviewed did not hold to this consistency) but this one was great! Probably my favourite formula from a polish on this list so far! Just a really great OPI formula. The poluish is totally opaque in two coats,  but also has impressive opacity at one coat, I don't think you could wear it at one though. And, or course, I have already discussed OPI's amazing brush, so I won't repeat myself (I do that too much already). Also, if you wanna see how this polish applies to the nail, then you can watch my live application swatch here!


I really love this colour for St Patricks Day; in fact I would say that it is a quintessential St Patricks Day polish; it's definitely earn't it's number four spot on this list. Along with the great colour comes a great formula and a great brush; how can you go wrong? Also, for those of you who are confused as to what this list is that I keep talking about; you can find everything that you need to know here. I wanna know what you guys think? Do you love jade for St Patricks Day? Have you got any Jade polishes that stain? Which is your favourite polish on the list so far? Let me know in the comments section right here or on Instagram and Pintrest (my username is thegoodnailsblog)!
May your nails be good and lucky

Sinful Colours New Shades 2019 Full Collection Swatch and Review

Helloooo! Helloooo! Heloooo! Oh my! I am really very, very excited to present to you all a new collection swatch and review from Sinful Colours! This is the new core collection from Sinful Colours for 2019, which consists of 8 nail polishes. The slightly oddity here is that there are two nail polishes that I haven't seen in the other collection reviews; these being Holo Back and All Jokes Acia'd. It's possible that they are exclusive to Australia or maybe were released a little later than the rest of the collection? Those are my running theories, but if anyone knows please share your awesome information down below in the comments section! Y'know, when I do a collection review I never know which polish to start with! Do I choose something that works well as a representation of the overall collection? Do I pick my favourite or least favourite? Do I just pick whichever swatch photo I see first? Yep, the last one, it's always the last one, otherwise I'll never choos

Sinful Colors Vanessa Hudgens Winter Collection, Full Collection Review

Hello everybody! I'm so very excited today because we will be looking at the Sinful Colors Vanessa Hudgens collaboration collection for winter! I just adore the Sinful Colors/Vanessa Hudgens collaboration polishes, they are some of my favourite polishes in my collection, so my expectations for this collection were very high (almost as high as my excitement levels!). This is a 12 piece collection (the last collection aka the Jungle Beat collection only had 8 polishes but the Festival collection also had 12, just a fun little fact) and every single one of them is shimmer polish; not a single creme in sight! This differs from the the other collaborations, which all had at least a few cremes thrown in there. But, I'm not too upset about that; I LOVE shimmer polishes, and after swatching a collection that was pretty much completely made up of creme polishes (none other than the Sinful Colors New Shades collection), I am happy to be swatching these shimmery beauties! Oh! And, before

Sinful Colors Vanessa Hudgens Jungle Beat Collection Swatch and Review

Hello everybody! Today is a very, very, very exciting day for this blog because this is my first ever swatch and review of a collection! I was super pumped when I started seeing polishes from the Vanessa Hudgens collection around October, and picked up the four polishes that were available. When I brought my polishes home and looked them up, I was only able to find two of them on the Sinful Colors website, which were apart of the festival collection. I only found a swatch or two of the other polishes that I picked up and no mention of them from SC on their website. As time went by and more Vanessa Hudgens polishes started popping up, I noticed the same thing happening; these polishes didn't seem to exist! It was not until I saw a display at a Priceline store that I rarely visited that it finally made sense; these polishes must have been from a separate collection which had yet to be announced. And so, this is how I came to realise these were apart of the 'jungle bea
