Hey y'all, I wanted to take a minute to talk to you about my nail polish. Currently, I'm wearing Marc Jacobs Beauty nail polish in Nirvana. It's advertised as an army green, though it really looks like a black with a green undertone, depending on the lighting you're in. Anyway, this is one of the best nail polishes I have ever tried (which it should be, since it is $18). I applied this polish at about 9 pm last Thursday. That means it has been on for almost a week. For me, lasting more than 4 days without chipping or peeling off is a huge deal. This polish has a single, tiny chip on one nail as of right now. The longevity is utterly amazing, I cannot even explain how great it is to have my nails still looking nice and clean after 5 days of wearing the same polish. I used this in conjunction with the Seche Clear base coat and the Cult Nails Wicked Fast top coat. I don't think either of those products are impacting or assisting the polish itself, I used the same base and top coats with an OCC polish last week and it lasted about four days before it chipped enough to annoy me. I just wanted to let you all know that Marc Jacobs nail polishes are excellent in case you're looking for a high end polish or possibly a little gift for someone :)

It looks black to me in that picture, which is a little frustrating :/ but thanks it's so pretty in real life.

I tilted my phone a little and I could see the green tint, I absolutely love it.

Wow thats amazing. I usually chip within two days and I always remove polish as soon as that happens. But I hateeee applying nailpolish. Might look into this after the holidays! Thanks for the always helpful review Hannah:)

Also I'm digging that colour... But I'm sure its way better in person

The same thing happens to me, Lara, I'm so hard on my nails that all of my nail polish chips almost instantly, or, annoyingly, peels off in sheets. This hasn't so I'm super impressed :) hope it works out for you!

And it is, and especially in sunlight it's definitely green, it's just very dark which of course I like :)

I need this in my life. I'm similar to you, Lara, mine usually chips within the first two or three days. So annoying, and it doesn't matter which brand, it always poops out on me.

Maybe they'll have a blue shade I'll like, Hannah lol. ;)

I love Marc Jacobs polishes! I have Glinda Silver which is completely silver glitter and it lasts forever! And that color is gorgeous on you! Glad you like it!

Oooh you have to look at Blue Velvet, Alli! So super pretty.

I haven't looked at that silver, Taylor, because I'm not a big fan of light/bright nails on myself, but I'll check it outb.

Here is the swatch I used for my blog.. It is a bit intimidating for a full mani, but I love using it as either an accent nail or for designs

Oh wow, very pretty :) have you ever tried Butter's Diamond Geezer, Taylor? That's my preferred silver if I'm going to do silver :)

I haven't! But looked it up and it is gorgeous too! Glinda is the only high end polish I have, and that is only because it was sent for me to review. I definitely want to start buying butter London polishes since I have heard so many good things, but being in Bolivia is definitely a setback. Next time I visit the states I will be doing a major nail polish haul!

Yay, hauls! I can definitely give some suggestions, I'm a freaking hoarder. I do like Butter nail polishes though, they're really pretty and they have an awesome texture. My favorite shade is Marrow :)

I'd love suggestions! My stash is mainly SH and Zoya, with small quantities of other brands mixed in. Probably won't be another year till I make it back though :( I have family visiting in January so I put in an order with occ and got their polish in feathered. I heard you mention you liked them in a comment a while back.

Hannah K.

Oh I do! My favorite of those is Technopagan, it's seriously amazing it's like a blue/purple shift but it's bright.

Dec 17, 2014

That sounds gorgeous! I have been dying to get a white polish since I ran out a few months ago, and all I have been able to find here are goopy :( so hopefully feathered fulfills my expectations!

Seriously omg I have absolutely NOTHING like it. I hope you like Feathered too, but I bet you will :)

That is even prettier than I imagined! Definitely adding it to my want list!
