Favourite Greens for St Patrick's day

St Patrick's day is this Saturday 17th March and if you're looking for nail polishes and eyeshadows to don yourself in green, here are some of my favourites.
Earrings - Colette Accessories; Necklace - Diva


Nail Polishes
  • Essie Mint Candy Apple - this very popular mint polish is one of my all time favourites. It's opaque in 2 coats, long lasting, and reminds you of spring. What more could you ask for?
  • China Glaze Re-fresh Mint - this is meant to be a dupe for Mint Candy Apple but it's lighter and more yellow toned than the Essie one. This was my first ever mint polish actually, you could say this is what started my obsession with mint coloured polishes.
  • OPI Mermaids Tears - this is from the Pirates of the Caribbean Collection. It's a murky seawater green that looks nice in autumn. 



Eyeshadows
  • MAC Humid - this is a beautiful deep green with a frost finish, but the frost is subtle enough to make this a perfect lid and a crease colour.
  • MAC Sumptuous Olive - this gorgeous olive colour has veluxe pearl finish, making it incredibly soft to apply. It's a perfect all over lid colour.
  • MAC Newly Minted - This is a matte formula so it's a bit chalky to apply, but the colour itself looks beautiful worn all over the lid with a matte brown eyeshadow in the crease.



Do you wear green coloured makeup? 
Will you be wearing green for St Patrick's Day?

  2. I've never been that into green but I recently branched out and tried MAC humid eyeshadow. It's totally changed my opinion on the colour and now from your post I want to try OPI Mermaid Tears.

  3. I love green and luckily it really suits my colouring. I tried to buy Humid the other day but they were sold out. Your swatch has definitely confirmed I need to try and track it down though!!

    1. It's a lovely green, and not too scarily bright either!

  7. I don't really wear green makeup (well, I wear MAC Club, but that's arguably green), but I definitely wear green on St. Patrick's Day. I live in Boston, one of the most Irish cities in America, and it also happens to be my birthday! I love the day, as you might expect :)
