p2 - green palm tree (Summer Attack)

Good morning!

I'm not continuing with the two manicures left for the Let it Snow! challenge, but with a simple swatch. I was so fascinated by this color over the past weekend, that I just have to share it first!

The polish I want to show you today is p2 green palm tree and it belongs to the current Summer Attack collection. In case you don't know, p2 is an in-house cosmectics brand by German drugstore chain dm. p2 hasn't really been on my radar in the past months, but with the last rearrangement of their core line, they introduced a couple of nice polishes. I'll have to show those to you too!4

The Summer Attack collection consists of various cosmetics. Among them are five polishes of which I got two (so far). One of them is the aforementioned green palm tree. It was the only polish I knew I really wanted to buy when p2 published press information about this collection. ^^ I really like the color, so here's a little bit of pic spam (compared to my last 10 or so posts).

Green palm tree applies very nicely and is surpsingly opaque. This is three coats, but you only need two for coverage. I applied the third to make it more shiny, because I took pictures on day 2 and hadn't applied any topcoat. Drying time is what I expect from p2. They're not exactly fast, but not slow either. I didn't dent my right hand after painting, even though I forgot to take care of it after a little while.

Green palm tree seems to have two sides. In the sunlight, it's a really rich grass green polish with golden shimmer. In indirect sunlight/indoors, the golden shimmer takes over and the green looks more yellow and slightly lighter. It also looks a lot more like a foil indoors. But whether in- or outdoors, it's a bright glowing green that caught a lot of people's attention while I was wearing it.

In another swatch post for this polish, I saw it compared to Zoya Ivanka. I don't own that one, but I'd love to know how it's compared to Zoya Apple from their summer collection 2011. Apple has been on my wishlist ever since! I just love its sisters Faye, Rica and Tancy!

What do you think of green palm tree?

The Summer Attack collection will be available in dm stores until August. The polishes contain 8 ml and cost 2,25€ per piece.
