Indoors (and the most accurate representation of the colour)
And outside:
It's a very lovely mid blue with very subtle shimmer, not incredibly different to last summer's (?) Lapis of Luxury, its a bit bluer and the shimmer does set it apart really. One coat was streaky, two was perfection.
Having said all that, I have no idea why I bought it as I really don't like these shades on me. I love the colour and it looks gorgeous on the nail but I can't help feeling like this is a colour for teenagers and that it makes me a bit mutton-dressed-as-lamb-ish...
What say you? Can 36 year old mum's wear these shades or do they look a bit desperate?
Anyway, my insecurities aside, if you like blues, you should probably get this, it's lovely.
That's a gorgeous, gorgeous blue!
ReplyDeleteI'd wear it any day of the week and I'm beating you by 5 years ;)

Very pretty. Anyone can wear any colour, can't they? I do but I'm a mess. Doesn't matter much when you're 55.
ReplyDeletelmao - 36 yrs old and too old for blue, you need to wait til tmrw to see what I am wearing in my nail related post, and I'm 44! I think that is an incredible colour and that it really suits you and anyway who says there's a cut off point at which you can wear colour, have you never read "When I'm an old Woman, I shall wear purple"?? Believe me I intend to be a craggy old dear sporting neon nails if at all possible! x
ReplyDeleteDebbie, I don't mind any other colour. Its only blues (except dark and very light blues) that I have this problem with and I don't mi9nd them on anyone else!
ReplyDeleteThis is the prettiest polish I've seen in a while! Essie always does pastels/girly colors well!

I think the blue looks lovely on your nails. I can understand why you might question being able to wear this kind of colour when you are older as I felt the same way when I bought some blue varnish recently and I'm 40.
ReplyDeleteHowever it only looks teenagery if it's chipped and left on for ages! lol
Gorgeous colour and it looks lovely on you. I don't think you'd look MDAL at all!
ReplyDeleteOh my, I'm still going to be wearing colours like this into my 80s!
ReplyDeleteThis is a lovely colour for spring!! And not mutton-ish at all, it's a sad day when people decide they're "too old" for pretty colours, completely unfounded in my opinion :D xxx
ReplyDeleteI'm wearing a similar shade today, China Glaze's Secret Peri-wink-le, and I do understand your hesitation... But I have the same problem with blue eye make-up, I just feel it looks very young and not necessarily in the best of tastes! I don't mind it on others though (most of the time, anyway). x
ReplyDeleteThat blue looks *really* nice on you!
