Monday Blues: S-he Stylezone 281

Hello my lovelies! After all of the green from the last days, it's time to return to our blues. I have a very special one to show you today and I know some of you will not be very happy because this is not an easily accessible brand. The S-he Stylezone brand is only available in DM drugstores in Europe. But I do hope you will enjoy looking at this beauty even if you don't have access to the brand!

I haven't bought any polishes from this brand for quite a while, because the formula is kinda hit or miss and I'm not too crazy about the price either. Last week they were on sale and I decided to check out the display to see if I could find something good. I ended up buying 2 polishes and picked spring colors, even though they didn't look that special in the store light. But when I got home I saw how special this blue was and realized that I hit the jackpot. This is such an unusual shade of light blue. It's sort of a Tiffany blue, but less green toned than China Glaze For Audrey. It also photographed accurately so you can see it properly in the pictures.

As I mentioned, the formula of these polishes varies, a lot of them being very thick. This one was also thick and I had some trouble with the application. The brush is very long and has a long stem, which makes the polish drop down and flood the nail. This made me apply thicker coats than I normally do and resulted in some bubbles. Top coat took care of the bubbles, although it does dry fast and shiny even without it. What you see in the pictures are 2 coats with one coat of Seche Vite.

I'm completely in love with this polish and I'm so happy to have found it. Next time I will probably use some thinner to make it better. If you are able to get this, I urge you to run to the drugstore now. And if not, you can always look at more blues below!

  6. Well of course! I think we are all wishing for summer to be here sooner. So far my nails didn't bring the nice weather. But I'll try again next week!
