Green Nail Polish: Hot Or Not?

When I was in high school, I went to a dance with a guy I wasn’t interested in. As my own little act of rebellion, I painted my nails a color called Toad—maybe I was trying to repel him?

Fast forward to last night. I was in the checkout line at an Urban Outfitters, and there was a container full of fall nail polish colors. There was a navy blue, some browns, and the olive green you see above. I decided I needed something to replace the neon shades I’ve been wearing all summer and impulse-bought the olive. Was it a mistake? Tell me if you think green polish is awesome or as repulsive as a toad.

i’ve been wearing that opi Green-wich Village and Gargantuan Green Grape for-EVER it seems and i always get mad complements. then again women these days give backhanded complements more than genuine ones so that’s my answer to that.

to quote the musical “Cabaret”, which made me love emerald green nails:
I think people are perfectly marvelous, I really do, Cliff. Don’t you? I don’t think people should have to explain anything. For example, if I should paint my fingernails green; and it just so happens I do paint them green, well, if anyone should ask me why, I say: “I think it’s pretty!” (“I think it’s pretty,” I reply.)

@ amanda lynn: I am totally going to start saying “I think it’s pretty” to everyone who comments on mine.
