Green Nail Polish Comparisons

I wasn't a fan of green nail polish until recently.. I never thought that I would end up with six different green shades! See below:


Indoors without the flash:

L to R: Essie- Turquoise and Caicos, Essie- First Timer, Essie- Mojito Madness, Pomegranate- Enchanted Lagoon, Pomegranate- Royal Brat, China Glaze- Kiwi Cool-Ada

Essie- First Timer

I could not wait to purchase this color.  This is really the only Essie color that I have been interested in purchasing since their winter collection.  It definitely didn't disappoint, it was just different than expected.  This color was exactly what I was hoping Mojito Madness would be.  A medium Kelly green.  Not exactly light.  Always remember to take into account that the nail polish will be 2-3 shades darker than it looks in the bottle.  Anyway, the formula was phenomenal! Very smooth and creamy.  Definitely a one coater.  I wish that Essie would make all of their formulas this way.  Anyway.. onto the pictures! All pictures show two coats of First Timer + 1 coat of seche vite.  My cuticles are a mess, you have been warned!

Essie- First Timer, indoors, without the flash.
