What the Wind Blue In
The word is in: Blue is the new Black. Who came up with that phrase anyway? (Some window shopping for you? Why of course, click here for Bergdorf's take on the shade's of blue for spring in costs that will cause your wallet to go plenty shades of red.)
Not one to disappoint, here are some swatches from the blues of the nail world! (and an obligatory inspiration board to match!)
Sally Hansen Polish in Navy Baby.
It's a little more blue-er than this but I just couldn't make the photos work for Sally. Also - I wasn't as happy with this polish. Though I'm an avid Sally purchaser, I am not much of a fan, and have yet to be converted. This polish was runny for me and stained my nails. That's a pet peeve with me and nail polishes. The color still looked great though!

LA Girl Flare Nail Polish (don't know the color! it's not on it the pooper - can't find it online in that color either - but I got it from Urban) This photo also came out pooptacular but the color is more true to life in the first pic w/all the polishes together.
This one is an alright pick for me. The colors for this entire line are very vibrant and always make a statement. There usually is very minimal guesswork for the color translation from the bottle to the nail, b/c it's always true to color. If any downside, I'd say the polishes don't last long as my others (hello Essie, OPI) but they're affordable ($3.50 - $5) and do the job. A lot of them also accomplish a matte-like finish if you don't do a top coat or if you have a matte top coat(does that exist ?)

Milani nail polish in Bolting Blue.
Came out true to color! yay!
Has got to be my favorite right now! This polish is super easy to put on, doesn't mess too much, is just the right mix of sturdy and liquid (does that make sense? lol) and comes in great colors. Plus it's a drugstore easy find and pretty cheap. Hello stores? I'm coming for more!!
(CVS doesn't have this color online, Milani, Walgreens)
Can you tell I love me some Inspiration Boards?
