Today I found myself shifting through my little collection of nail polishes & once I spotted this lying at the very bottom of the bag I fell in love ( ugh, how cheesy!)! I completely forgot I had this polish & felt like I struck gold because it just summarized my mood today (woo!). I could only describe this colour as a milky blue (if that makes any sense?), it's quite a soft colour & isn't bold or intense on the nails. I really love wearing this colour with gold jewellery - It gives a little nautical vibe (ya gotta love it, right?).
The shade is 'Blue Moon' by Beauty UK & I must've bought this almost 3 years ago (pretty old!) but I'm sure it's still available in shops or drugstores. As much as I love this colour, the consistency of the polish was really watery and it took up to 4 coats to achieve the colour above! As well as this, it took forever to dry (bad if you're fidgety like me!)! According to the website, this polish costs £1.99 & so I guess the quality is reflected in the price. I'll definitely be looking for a similar shade by Barry M or OPI. I love it so much!
Do you recommend any similar shades?
I love the colour of this nail varnish and I agree it looks lovely with the gold jewellery!

This is such a gorgeous tone, I love wearing shades like this (and I get really sad when I have to remove them for work, hmfh!) A similar shade is an old one by Rimmel in their Pro Wear collection called Aqua Blue, but I haven't seen in in Boots recently so it may have been discontinued - which completely sucks becuase it's the ultimate summertime blue! D: I equally hate waiting for nail varnish to dry..and then when you think 'oh, it HAS to be done by now..' it's not. So much effort! ^.^;

I'll have a little look for that Rimmel shade anyway, hopefully I can find it somewhere- it sounds gorgeous! I can't describe how annoying it was waiting for it to dry - especially because I can't sit still for a minute! :)

this is a lovely colour, it reminds me a bit of Blueberry Icecream by Barry M which is one of my favourites :) Shame it took 4 coats but at least the end colour is nice! I've got a little palette and a lipstick by Beauty UK and they're both pretty good, I rarely see reviews for the brand on blogs though x
ReplyDeleteI'll have to have a little look at the Barry M stand for that in boots - its sounds lovely! I think Beauty UK is so affordable that people assume it's going to be horrible - there should probably be more reviews on it!

I love blue nail polishes, especially for summer (although I don't really care about the season-thing, in winter a blue colour can be really pretty too!). Anyway, love this colour ... for all seasons (you probably got the point already, haha).
ReplyDeleteYou have a lovely blog here and I would definitely like to read your future posts. So I will follow you with great pleasure!
Love,
