So, I know colors like this one are uber done out and just about every polish company has a shade like this one on the market. However,lol, this is a new shade to me. I don't own anything like this one and out of all the lighters Jade tones I've seen I found this one to be the prettiest IMO.

| Most color accurate |
This last pictures is the most color accurate. Ancient Jade can be best described as a Greener, Mintier For Audrey. It's a really lovely, creamy light Jade Green. Not quite as Yellow as the first few pictures make it seem. The formula on this was quite annoying, and that's something I usually never say. It was a bit thick and unpredictable. Heavily pigmented so at least there isn't an issue with streaking. For this mani I did Two patient coats of Ancient Jade.
I was happy to see that this color didn't give me to bad of a case of lobsterhands because I really love this combo and it so screams spring at me :)!

I love how microshimmer removes roughness from this polish, it's not just plain creme anymore, but the color remain the same.
ReplyDeleteI did that too, with Orly Gumdrop.
I wish you had Gumdrop so you can do a comparison, because they look pretty close.
Jolly Holly looks great as a stamp color!
ReplyDeleteI love this color! :) and it just so happens to be the polish I am rocking right now - so I may be a little partial to it lol Looks great on you :)

ReplyDeleteI love Heartbreaker, its an amazing layering polish. I love it over blacks and other colors that aren't greens and blues, its so different. :)
ReplyDeleteIs Ancient Jade from the Spring Collection or an older one? It sounds so familiar!
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty manicures!
ReplyDeleteThe stamping on Ancient Jade looks so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI love your site and the way you use nailpolish as hand art! I have never thought to layer polish or really use stencils or anything, but you continue to inspire me to try!
ReplyDeleteLove it!
