This is China Glaze Jolly Holly which was obviously part of the Christmas Collection that CG released. I do love a good dark green polish, as you all well know, so I was particularly excited when I saw the swatches for these in the lead up to Christmas.
I'm not sure I like it when polishes are given seasonal names because I feel slightly weird about wearing them the rest of the year. I think they should come with two names. I originally thought I would re name this one Evergreen, but then I realised that if I am going to re-name a polish, that I was going to go all out - and so, without further ado, I present...
Going Off Like A Frog In A Sock
(Yes, yes, I know it's wordy but I like it and it accurately describes the awesomeness of the shade I think.)
See - a suitably awesome name for a awesome polish!
What would you rename this polish? I am totally curious. Do you have the same feeling of slight weirdness that I do when it comes to wearing Christmas themed things during the rest of the year?
That's it from me today.
Be awesome to each other.

I totally get what you mean. I was planning on layering White Cap over this two manis ago and my mom said it was a Christmas-y colour, so I passed. And I've regretted it ever since. :(
Hi Kee,
It makes me sad that as soon as a Christmas collection comes out they get labelled as Christmas Colours! I mean Nubar bought out a collection of all greens and that wasn't even slightly Christmasy!
BTW, I think that mani idea sounds amazing! You totally have to give it a go!

Bec,
ITA with you! Just cuz they look like a Christmas green doesn't mean they're for Christmas time only!
I am so gonna do it. I've been wanting to do it ever since I thought of it. :)
Thanks!

I would name this "Christmas Emerald Tree" :D I do not have a problem to use Christmas themed nail polishes, just manicures :P although Party Hearty is quite a manicure by itself so it does annoy me :P it really depends on the things too, but usually I don't use them off season ;)
Awesome!!!!!!!!!! I think tis colour woud be great for a spring-party!
Kisses
