Confession Time: Not Feeling The Trend for Green Nails

If you haven't clocked the trend for pistachio nails yet, you soon will. Normally reserved for La Feile Padraig, I'm not so bothered about darker shades - OPI and Nails Inc do some ok ones, but they'll never really float my boat.

MAC gave us Peppermint Patty as part of Sugarsweet, and Barry M are also on my radar for this hideous fad. Their Mint Green polish is being drooled over across the internet and I just cannot understand it.
