Hello my lovelies! A lot of my readers are from the US and I believe they are enjoying a day off today. I'm on vacation as well, but I want to dedicate today's post to those who have to go to work or to school. For you I have a very special blue that will instantly make the day better. I have no doubt about that!

I've been lemming for this polish from the first time it came out. I waited patiently for it to be on sale and finally got it last month. Even though I was in love with this polish from the swatches online, I still couldn't believe my eyes when I saw it. It's a lot more beautiful and complex than I imagined. I hope that I can give you at least an idea of all this through my pictures. But to truly enjoy this polish you have to see it with your own eyes.

It consists of a royal blue base that is filled with tiny light blue shimmer. The particles are fine and dense, giving this a subtle and infinite beauty. The color is gorgeous and it literally comes to life when light hits it. Some of the shimmer particles look purple but unfortunately I couldn't capture that on camera.

I've found this polish to be less opaque than other polishes from this brand, but I can totally see why. The base needs to be sheerer so that the shimmer shines through. It was mostly opaque with 2 coats, but there were still some bald spots so I did a 3rd one to take care of those and to give the color the proper intensity. I don't mind applying 3 coats for the sake of this gorgeous effect and I can report that application was very smooth and the coats dried fast and to a shiny finish.
