Essie Gel Couture Jade to Measure Nail Polish

The "jade to measure" is a lighter, slightly yellow pine color than pictured/described, but still has a nice sparkle and decent coverage. (It looks emerald in my photo, but that's the lighting. It's hard to take a photo of your own fingers!)The red in the picture is "rue de la ruby" — it's a flatter, more rosy red than a true, deep ruby.(Lol—note about that terrible manicure:I was playing with the colors while watching TV. Not going to leave them like that!) (But if I wanted to leave those sloppy edges, the gel couture top coat would keep them that way for weeks. 😄)

I love the Essie Gel Couture line and I was really looking for a pretty Emerald green, and I have a green color but it's got a blue hue to it in the light so more mermaid-y looking than true green. So when I saw this I thought "PERFECT!"Then it showed up and it's' the same color I already had. Due to the pandemic I just decided to forward it on to my niece rather than bother with returning it, because it is a pretty color, but nothing like the stock picture used in the listing. My error for not checking the name was the same

Not only did the nail-polish match my emerald prom dress perfectly, but it is extremely pigmented and an overall great product. I would 100% recommend and would buy again. I love it! :)

I liked the shine in this color.

Nice color silvery toned green
