J is for Jade...
For me, a 'jade' is anything that blurs the boundary between blue and green and luckily for me colours such as these suit me just fine! I have included a selection of shades, ranging from pastel to full on bright so there is definitely one for everyone. I have to say these polishes really pop against darker skin tones but can look equally nice against porcelain skin so I hope you approve...

Let's start off with a lovely glitter shall we? To my surprise, I actually received this in a Nails Inc Lucky Dip and I was more than pleased! It is so full of glitter that you only really need two coats. I would say that it verges more onto the blue side, perhaps slightly turquoise. It reminds me of a shimmering sea, perfect for summer days!

This is one of my all time favourites! Something about this shade looks so lovely, any time of year, and it really is a suits all kind of colour. I could probably think of a million nice things to say about this polish but I don't want to bore you! Anyway it's a must have!

This one is quite similar to Maybelline's Metal Me Teal which I included in the 'Indigo' category however it is slightly lighter in tone. It is a nice jewel color and full of shimmer so for those of you that love sparkly nails, this is a winner!

Strangely this one appears to be a medium blue in the images however I can assure you that it definitely contains a splash of green, making it appear more teal-like in real life. It's a lovely subdued colour, perfect for spring.

I have come to realise that green can be a bit hit and miss on nails, with some people demanding to know the name of the polish and others saying that it makes me look ill! This one is very similar to Nails Inc Culross Street in the images but on the nails, although you can't really see it in the photos, it does contain a touch more blue which is why I chose to include it here. Make of it what you will.
