Orly Green Apple

This polish was a gift from the ever-generous Rach of stuff i (s)watched and boy, did she ever nail--no pun intended--this one! Few polishes make me happier than a perfect green! Orly Green Apple originally came out in the Hot Stuff Collection and as the name implies, it's the color of a green Granny Smith apple.





Green Apple looks so summery and fresh. If you haven't guessed by now, I really love it! The formula is on the streaky side but nothing unmanagable. I used three coats here. I like how this color is bright but also has an almost pastel-like softness to it. It reminds me of a cross between OPI Gargantuan Green Grape and Essie Navigate Her. Ironically, I dislike green apples (too sour for me) but I adore Orly Green Apple. :)

    @Nory: It's certainly an eye-catcher! Bright but somehow light at the same time.

    @Anne: Thanks! I wish the weather outside matched the look of this polish!

  5. This color is great! Very bright and summery. It kind of reminds me of Sally Hansen Green With Envy.

  6. I have this color too. I use it quite a bit. It stained the turd out of my nails when I wore it as a full mani.

  7. @Sheba: Thank you!

    @Melissa: I definitely see the resemblance to the Sally Hansen, I'd say they look pretty close! Awesome, thank you! I will check it out! :)

    @TopCoatIt: It kind of reminds me of the background color on your user icon, come to think of it! I was worried it would stain but was too lazy to use a basecoat haha. I managed to get away with it this time though.

    @Polish and Charms: I agree, it just makes me feel happier when I wear this haha.

  9. Oh wowwwww. This looks fabulous on you! :) SO glad you like it! It wasn't my perfect apple green, but I somehow ended up with a dupe anyway. *facepalm* I love Orlys, though. Sigh.

  11. @MariJo: Thank you! :)

    @Rach: Thank you so much for sending it to me, I absolutely love it to pieces! Funny which polishes we end up having dupes for haha. I think it's because if you have a polish you really love, you remember it and don't wind up with dupes. It's the obscure ones in your collection that sneak up on you!

    @A Girl and Her Polish: Thank you! I will check it out!
