This week I continue my love affair with subtly unique neutral nail polishes.

Armed and ready is an olive drab green that leans heavily gray and has very faint subtle copper shimmers running through it. In a word, it’s gorgeous. It’s also very difficult to photograph the green in this polish, all of my photos showcased the gray but not the subtle green.

I am still wearing this shade after five days with zero chipping or tip wear (although I have to admit I haven’t been working out lately and the lack of weight training increases the wear time of my polish).

This shade is part of Essie’s permanent line and is available in most drugstores for around $8.00.
