Hi
Goddesses
I hope the
weekend has been kind and Christmassy to you. As winter is a pale blue colour, I
thought I would do Blue as the 2nd in my stash series.
Blue has
been a real love / hate relationship.
For many years I hated it, and even this year when I really got back into
nail polish, blue was a no-go zone as far as I was concerned. However, in the last couple of months my
attitude has changed completely, and whilst I am not yet a Blue-aholic, I am certainly
not the blue-hater I was.
So, what’s
caused this about turn ? Well, a few
things. You may remember a few weeks ago
I did Blue Week on my blog. We had just had a blue uniform introduced at work, and I wanted to do blue nails every day –
not only that, they looked nice!
Secondly, there have been a lot of blues in boxed sets I have bought,
and when I’ve tried them, I’ve not shuddered lol.
THE

I think
this is a FRIGHTENING amount of polishes for a colour which isn’t even 1 of my
top 3 fave colours lol. However, blue
comes in soooooo many varieties!
Let’s do
some close ups then – (where I have posted about the colour, you’ll find a
hyperlink) -
So, first
of all, 6 untrieds. Stormy Skies from
Pam’s Girlie Bits, Wet N Wild Ice Collex in Cost Is No Issue and Believe Me, It’s
Real, Essence Louise (no Thelma), OPI Ogre The Top Blue, CC Foiled.
My 3 adored
and hallowed DLs – Across The Universe, Lady Sings The Blues and Glitter In TheAir.
Forever is
Blue magnetic, Color Club Blu-topia (a jelly), Urban Decay Graffiti (very
shimmery), and Essie Smooth Sailing.
The teals –
CG Atlantis, OPI Ski Teal We Drop, SH Fairy Teal and LA Colors greeny teal
glitter.
SH Teal-y
Cool, which may just be the prettiest thing I have ever seen in a bottle, Wet n
Wild Blue Wants to be a Millionaire, CG Techo Teal and Milani Cyberspace.
4 China

And then my
3 Zoyas – Kotori (really odd swirly petrol colour), the gorgeous Jo (looks fab
on toes) and Indigo.
There is
also a tragedy within the blues. Glitter
Gal’s Light As A Feather has gone missing.
I know not where. And she was
sooooo pretty and delicate. Sniff L
So there
you have it – the blues. Hope you
enjoyed xx J

Top Tip – if you’re
ever unsure what a nail colour looks like, go to Google images, which will give
you plenty of contrasts and compares.
