Picture this: a pretty and dark true green shade. Add some green shimmer. Finish it off with some glossy shine. What do you get? Nubar Going Green Collection Greener! Wowzer. This is my favorite green, and I get compliments every time I wear it!
This nail polish color embodies everything green – literally. Not only is it a look-at-me-I’m-gorgeous green color, but the collection is inspired by Nubar’s constant commitment to producing environmentally safe and health-friendly products.

Nubar Greener Review
Whenever I look at Greener on my nails, I think of pine trees – the fresh, young and lively ones. The shade is a rich green, and it’s not so dark that it looks like black. It’s a mesmerizing green that’s luscious and calming at the same time. (They say you should look at green things when you’re stressed. Maybe I’ll just look at my nails.)
I also love the green shimmer. Usually I’d prefer the shimmer to contrast more, but I think having it green adds such a nice warm depth to the color. It doesn’t steal the show, but it’s a nice complement to the shade.
The formula goes on very smoothly. I hate nail polishes that go on thin yet tacky, but Nubar Going Green Greener is easy to work with. It evens itself out on the nail so you don’t have to be super careful when applying. This is good because I don’t have a steady hand.
You do need a second coat though. With one coat, Nubar Greener looks a bit patchy in some spots. Not a huge problem since applying a second coat gives you a nice even result. There is some shine to it, but the finish isn’t super glossy.

What do you think of it? Do you have other green nail colors that you love?
The new China Glaze holiday collection greens are beautiful, especially Mistletoe Kisses. I also love CG Four Leaf Clover and Emerald Sparkle 😀
Hi Sarah,
Great choices! Mistletoe Kisses reminds me of frost and snow – so pretty. Are you going wear it this holiday?
