Nail trend alert - Green is the new grey

The "it" color for Fall is green - on eyes and on nails. It's one of the few unorthodox nail colors we haven't explored lately - last fall it was shades of grey ranging from dove to putty to nearly-taupe. If it wasn't grey, it was greyed-out and dusky. The year before, blue was the edgy shade. But now... it's completely easy being green!

It marched down the Fall '09 runways, and nail fanatics who spotted it haven't stopped dreaming of it since...

CHANEL's minty green polish, Jade, will hit counters as an LE offering in October!

I, for one, will be right there buying it.

Next, we have a non-new release by Illamasqua, a brand that has just come to America via the interwebs. I got my hands on MILF (thank you, Alex!) and here's a sneak peek. It looks like it could be a dupe-ish match to Chanel's shade. I love it. I may never take it off. Review on its way!

By the way, I can't wait 'til my nails get a tad longer so I can do one of the great retro-nouveau manis shown on their site and pretend I'm a sexy Illamasqua diva!

Polish addict fave Nubar has just released their new collection, Going Green. It's STUNNING. I can't wait to dig my nails into it. (bad joke, I know)

Big-3 Free, so it's good for you!



You can buy the whole set, or get just the ones that catch your fancy.
Not that I can choose just a few!

I recently shared OCC's Wasabi, which is a stellar yellow-green:

and RBL's glittery green Locavore.

And word has it  few other lines, including MAC [a khaki green in August!] will be giving us the green in exchange for our $$green$$ this Autumn, so stay tuned!!

Are you going green for Fall?
Is this a color you've tried? Is it just too odd for you? Share with the class!

I admit to writing this on MUA's nail board only 2 months ago:
"I appreciate it on other people, but I'm just not feeling the green nail polish."
Um... now I own 5, and am lemming quite a few more!

Sigh.
