L-R:
Soigné in Vodka Bleu, Maybelline Forever Strong Super Stay Seven Day in Uptown
Blue, Essie in Avenue Maintain, Nails Inc in Kensington Park Road
& Barry M Gelly Hi-Shine in Blueberry.
If you were to rifle through
my, quite frankly ridiculous, nail polish collection (300 and counting) you
would probably notice that the majority of shades are blue. There's just
something about a blue polish that I just can't resist. So I thought I'd share
my faves. My 5 Shades of Blue if you will.
Soigné in Vodka Bleu - Vodka
Bleu is a really rich dark turquoise-y blue with a seriously awesome formula.
It's super pigmented, opaque in just one coat and ridiculously long
lasting. Wild horses can't drag this bad boy away! It has an awesome
brush, it applies absolutely effortlessly and just looks so gorgeous on the
nails. Love it.
Maybelline Forever Strong
Super Stay Seven Day in Uptown Blue - I haven't had this that long but it has
fast become one of my fave light blues. Spring means pastels and this
lovely polish more than fits the bill. It is such a pretty sky
blue with an almost fluorescent quality to it that really pops. It would
look amazing against tanned skin (unfortunately I'll never know being paler
than the moon and all.) Not only is the colour pretty special but the
formula's awesome too, for a colour this light I would expect at least 3
coats for it to be opaque but it's really thick and creamy and only took 2.
Winner.
Essie in Avenue Maintain -
This is one of the first Essie polishes I ever bought and to this day it
remains one of my favourites. The colour is super pretty, just a lovely sky
blue that is perfect for springtime. I super love it.
Nails Inc in
Kensington Park Road - This is one of my most used nail polishes
ever! Seriously you can actually see a line from where I've used it so much and
with so many nail polishes that just doesn't happen very often. It is a really beautiful
neon blue that demands attention, you can't not look at it. It's so pretty but
bad ass at the same time. I love it so much. It is all the hearteyed emojis!
Barry M Gelly Hi-Shine in
Blueberry - This is the most gorgeous lilac toned cornflower blue, like
Uptown Blue it has a neon quality that really stands out. The Barry M Gelly
Hi-Shine's have a fabulous formula: opaque in 2 coats, reasonably long lasting
with a shiny gel like finish - hence the name - and they're cheap as chips. Lovely.
