[...] I have a hardcore undying obsession with this color. I’ve posted about it constantly (see here and here). I went through some serious angst in my fervor to procure this color. Amidst the rumors [...]

I love the screw Zulu color. I would so wear that.
I have a great ZULU formula that is really close to my eye. The main ingredient is Omega Primary green (75%) which I added to a base of Opi clear top coat (15%) and then some Sinful Black on Black to taste (10% or so). Mix well and voila – a creme dark green jelly. Top off with some Seche and you are set.
*You can also use Art Club Emerald Green as the main ingredient, but go easy on the black because I’ve found it’s a little less forgiving and it turns (too) dark very easily.

I was in Japan this summer and spotted a zulu look-a-like in the Majorca Majolica catalogue. Unfortunately I never picked up a bottle of it, and now am kicking myself during a green-black bottle craving. However, both ichibankao.com and adambeauty.com have it (I think it’s GR-319). While I contemplate the shipping cost I’m tempted to make a franken of my own :)

[...] year and last. It may be the combination of my green eyes or the impossiblty of getting ahold of in Nars Zulu nail polish. How’s that saying go – we always want the impossible.. Not only impossible but, extremely limited. [...]

I think I might just leave Screw Zulu alone and start with a whole new franken.

If you added blue, clear, and black you might get it closer to Zulu. Just my 2 cents :)

I haven’t gotten any comments on the blog but I know there have been some guys on MUA that drop in and chat polish with us from time to time. Have you heard of Man Glaze? It’s a nail polish company that makes matte nail polish for men. I actually have a review of their colors if you look in my archives. (http://polishaddict.wordpress.com/2008/05/07/manglaze-matte-nail-polish-swatches/). They have an amazing gun metal gray and asphalt black. You should definitely check it out if you haven’t already. : )

Zulu looks awesome! I have become rather fond of darker greens lately and find that I can actually get away with wearing them on my toes (I don’t paint my fingernails). This color looks like it could be a classic!

Just curious, do you get many comments from other men who are also interested in nail polish? My wife and I share this passion!

Maysum – Yes, for some products that is the case, but according to NARS they discontinued Zulu because they wanted to make room in their collection for new colors. That seems silly, the other colors released by Nars since Zulu was discontinued haven’t even shadowed the popularity of Zulu.

Sminkan – you should try to dupe my franken : P It’s easy!

Jennifer – Yea NFS is a very beautiful dark green, but alas it has shimmer and is also HTF. Another company needs to get on the dark green creme bandwagon.

Try Creative NFS it is almost identical to ZULU. May be a little hard to find.

WOW – all those colours are really quite lovely. It is so sad when brands discontinue a favourite product (*kicks Chanel for getting rid of my beloved ‘Pirate’*).

However, although it seems like they only do it to spite their loyal followers – more often then not they discontinue favoured products because they can no longer source the ingredients, or they have risen to such a price that manafacturing the product is no longer viable – so you can’t really blame them.

You’ve dont well with Franken Skew Zulu though, it’s very pretty – and anyone who didn’t *know* Zulu would think it heaven :o)
