NOTD: Jade Is The New... Jade?

Yesterday I had a break, and I didn't feel like patching it up because it's never the same, so I shortened the nails a bit. They are a bit more comfortable right now =)
Today I saw this gorgeous polish in a dollar-tree bin, and I couldn't believe my eyes, because unique colors like these are so rare in my country!
This is a polish with a great formula between creme and jelly. The first coat was a little bit streaky, but the second was OK and everything evened out in three coats. The color is hard to describe, it's like Nubar's Green Tea, but a tad darker and more dusty. It's a true jade color and I really, really like it! I had a hard time capturing the color, the pictures are edited to look closer to IRL:


Because this polish looks like Jade, and I connect Jade to East Asia, I stamped the nails with China Glaze 2030 and the image from plate s06:




I hope you enjoy my jaded(!) nails! =D

  25. I am not a fan of green polishes but this is the most beautiful shade of green I have ever seen.

    I searched for dupes of this color but can't find anything close. Perfect balance of colour AND perfect balance between creme & jelly. It is a stunner!!!

    Please, can anyone advise if I can buy it online?
