Zoya Josie Swatches/Review - Also, Green Comparison/Dupes

Hellllooo Green!  I have been loving green lately.  Nail polish, handbags, scarves, etc.  It's probably not the "ideal" nail polish color for everyone, but I am drawn to it.

This is Zoya Josie from the 2013 Stunning Collection.

*Provided for Review*

Josie is described on Zoya's site as "a full-coverage grassy green cream."

This was completely opaque in two coats and applied perfectly.  I couldn't ask for anything better.  

With my collection of green nail polish growing, I decided to show you a few of the others I have for comparison sake.  These aren't necessarily dupes, but I always like to see other greens to compare.

As you can see, Essie Mojito Madness is pretty darn close to Zoya Josie.  It's a bit more cool...Josie may have a little more yellow in the formula, but they are very similar.  Not sure if you can still get Mojito Madness in stores - it may have been Limited Edition, so I think Josie is a great alternative - especially the formula.

Julep Leah is also pretty similar, but it has a bit of a sheen to the formula (that doesn't show as much on the nails as in the bottle) and leans a little more "neon".  The photo below shows more direct light and you can see the brightness of Leah better.

I know OPI Jade is the New Black isn't even close, I just wanted to show it in comparison to the rest.  And Revlon Posh is a perfect true green.  Love it!

I hope this helps if you are trying to sort through the greens that are on the market.  I actually have another green coming from overseas from an awesome nail polish friend that offered to send it to me...along with some other goodies.  Thanks Becca from Horcrux Nails - you are the BEST!
