Nicole by OPI "Green Up Your Act"

"Green Up Your Act" is another polish from the Nicole by OPI Fall collection that's been spotted at Target stores. it is a muted green, a sort of grey-aqua, reminiscent of last year's popular shade Essie "Sew Psyched". i never bought "Sew Psyched" because frankly i think it's kind of ugly--too grey and too light in value. i prefer "Green Up Your Act" because it is slightly more saturated and a bit darker. it's noticeably green and won't be mistaken for grey.
it's a creme formula, not especially pigmented but will be opaque in two careful coats. it's a little bit runny and i'm not a huge fan of the skinny Nicole by OPI brush, but i can't imagine the Perfect Stroke brush working any better with this polish's consistency. overall i think this polish may be a keeper unless i spot another grey-green that is more flattering on me. it's a very sophisticated-looking shade!

i also bought the third Nicole by OPI polish at Target "It's Not Me, It's Blue", so stay tuned for swatches of that next!
