This is one I've had for a number of years (this brand isn't made/sold anymore here) and I held on to it because I hadn't tried it yet.  Now I have, and can safely send it on to another good home.

I had to compare these three and it turns out they are pretty much the same.

I saw these two (new?) green shades at Walmart and couldn't resist them...

Comparison; Petites - Tahitian Green, Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear - The Real Teal

Comments: I was able to capture the color of Tahitian Green more accurately in these pictures. Both polishes are gorgeous and apply easily. They're not as close in color as I originally thought. Below, from L to R:

Tahitian Green   |   The Real Teal   |   Tahitian Green   |   The Real Teal

I then decided to have some fun with stamping using a Bundle Monster pattern. I used an unnamed pastel green Icing polish, and Pure Ice - Free Spirit for stamping. The Icing polish shows up more on my nails, but neither one is really stark, which I like.

Petites - Tahitian Green

Application: Smooth
Coats: 2, no topcoat

Comments: This is my first Petites color, and a pretty one at that. It makes me feel like jumping in the pool! This actually has a little more green to it than my photos show. I'll try to show it more accurately in my next post - where I compare it to Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear - The Real Teal. Either way, this is nice and shiny straight out of the bottle, with a healthy amount of shimmer.
