I tried a local brand (Andreia) mint green, but it’s way too light and pastel I am thinking about buying their darker green and trying to mix it myself, though I am still gathering courage (and looking for empty nail polish bottles!).

Anyway: I also like the Jade Rose very much. Does anyone know of a (cheaper) dupe of that one, at least?

Hi Knit_tgz,

I’ve been asking around for a Jade dupe; the closest recommendation is MAC’s Peppermint Patti, which was released with the Sugarsweet collection earlier this year. Unfortch it was limited edition. I’ll keep looking and let you know if I find anything.

I am not sure if I will be able to splurge in these polishes, but I do know that they are really well done. These are not your ordinary pastel colours (most of which are not very flattering on my olive-undertoned skin). These are beautiful complex colours… and if they were a bit cheaper I would already have bought them.

Of course, if someone knows of a good dupe for any of the two colours, go ahead and tell us!

Hi Mitzy,

I haven’t tried the Illamasqua shade, but it does look really pretty. Have you worn any other Illamasqua nail polishes? They’re pretty good!
