CHEAP, DRUGSTORE BRAND SWATCHES - THE GREENS

Lastly, I have the GREENS for you all. This post is sort of a fail, in that two of the four polishes I am showing you aren't drugstore brand. Last night when I pulled them out though, I wasn't planning on doing a drugstore only brand post. So please forgive me on that note.

I had so much fun doing these, that I think I might continue on with a couple more colors tomorrow.


GOLDEN DRAGON




This polish was a gift to me from Helen from Helen and Sheenies Nice Things. We did a swap a while back and this was one of the polishes that she sent me. It is a blueish green base with tons of gold shimmer through out.


STUNNER





I call this a green, but I guess it really could be labeled under several different colors. To me, I consider this a dark, grungy Olive green. Isn't this a beauty though? Unfortunately it looks mostly black in indoor lighting. I just loved these bottles with the big jewels on top. Super duper pretty. If I had my own line of nail polish, I would want to incorporate a jewel like this on my bottle. This is one of the cheap ones, around $2. However, I don't believe this is available any more.


ENTOURAGE




The shimmer is what makes this polish. If it weren't for that I don't' think I would like this one nearly as much.



PEARL JUNGLE




This looks kind of foily, but it really isn't. It is packed full of flat, flaky pieces. This is a $1 polish that I found at a local dollar store (not Dollar Tree). Santee is a good brand of polish I think. The formula isn't bad, they just have a limited selection of colors. I have seen these at local beauty supply stores too.
