I had been wanting Sinful Colors Green Ocean for quite a while, but I had never been able to find it. I chalk it up to living in a polish wasteland. I have to go far away - or pay big prices - to get cool polish colors. Annnnyway - I have an awesome friend, Devin over at
At Your Fingertips, who offered to trade me for Green Ocean :) I decided to test it out over OPI Jade is the New Black first...
This is one of my top 10 fave polishes. I totally need to do a post with my top 10 polishes eventually. This is just one coat over a base of China Glaze Strong Adhesion. No top coat because I knew I would be topping with Green Ocean.
Before I show pics of the finished manicure, a few things: Green Ocean is a green-tinted base with flakies and glitters. It's not easy to work with. Actually, it's a pita; downright annoying.
But it's worth it.

Shade adds more color depth...and the pretty flakies |

Inside with the flash is pretty too |
**DISCLAIMER** I was not paid for this review by anyone. I either purchased these polishes myself or were given gifts as friends because I could not find the particular shade I wanted myself. I am not a professional nail tech, nor do I want to be. I'm just someone who enjoys polishing my own nails :)
