can you mix nail varnishes to get different colours?

As Gwen said above, your best bet would be to layer the green over another colour. I do this all the time. You can get some really good results from layering colours over a base of black, especially some of the pale, pearlised or holographic colours. You can try it out on a piece of white paper first to get an idea of what it would look like.

The sludgy colours are all the rage at the moment anyway. Just have a look at Nails Inc's Jermyn Street. That's been a massive bestseller and you don't get more sludgy than that.

You've done a nice neat job of the painting even if the colour isn't quite one I'd choose!

So it does! I didn't know it was a dupe. I like it even more now
And I bet Jermyn Street costs a lot less.

I'd love to see some pics. I get all my inspiration for my nails from other people. Bit obsessed with nail varnish I'm afraid.
