Feeling blue!

Blue nail polish! 

Hey everyone! I thought tonight I would do a post with the theme of blue! I've collected all of my blue polishes together from all the different brands I own, and pictured them (left). As some of you may or may not know, Baker Street from Nails Inc is my absolute favourite polish (ever), and would for sure be my desert island colour. In the picture it's 5th in from the left on the top row. (If you click HERE you can read my Baker Street polish post!) Some of the blues in the picture look black or even purple but I guess it's just the lighting. The brands of blue that I've got include, Nails Inc, Orly, No7, George, Barry M, OPI and China Glaze. The different effects of these polishes include, cream gloss, metalic, magnetic, glitter, 3D glitter, jewellery and sand. The sand effect nail polish (2nd row 3rd from left) is from the Mariah Carey collection from OPI. Unlike some polishes such as concrete effects, it drys with a matte blue background with glitter particles included! This colour doesn't need a topcoat because with one, it will lose it's matte sand effect. The China Glaze polish (2nd row 2nd from left) is the only China Glaze polish I own! It's truely stood the test of time as I purchased this when I was at college (around 4/5 years ago!) and is still useable! The small Orly polish (top row first on the left) was the first one I got from this brand, and I bought it to use over Baker Street because the Orly polish didn't have a deep depth of colour in the background, but with blue underneath the glitter, this Orly looks amazing! A lot of the glitter polishes and 3D polishes are ideal for a ring finger manicure, toe nail colour or even a full covering fingernail colour for a long lasting shade! With the Barry M blues, I think I have all of the blue shades that are on sale! I think the metalic shade from Barry M is my favourite of this brand (2nd row 6th from left). It has a black undertone which gives the polish a real richness! The No7 polishes I purchase are only when I get the vouchers from Boots! They're not my favourite although I do enjoy most of the colours they offer. I'm not overly keen on the long tall brushes on these polishes as they're not as easy to get a precise even finish!

 

Well, I hope you have enjoyed having a look in to my blue polishes! If you wanted to know any names of others or anything else, feel free to leave a comment or tweet me by clicking the link! (@RiaHughesThen)
