The Winter Blues (And Greens)

674 Jungle Gem, 170 Coastal Surf, 672 Jaded, 125 Absolutely Blue, 420 Pacific Blue 

As above 

I know, I know, winter is meant to be the season for deep reds, plums and warm colours but something has been drawing me to cooler tones in this chilly season and all of a sudden I realized that I had amassed a nice little collections of blue and green toned nail polishes. What can I say, I’m a rebel. 

Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure in 674 Jungle Gem is a rich deep green with a blue undertone. This colour does remind me of a gem so the name is fitting!

Revlon Colorstay Longwear Nail Enamel in 170 Coastal Surf, another polish with a spot on name, it does remind me of the beach! This is probably the truest bright blue I have and I think it is a really happy shade.

Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure in 672 Jaded, this is really my colour. I wore it last week and realized that my nails matched my phone case and my laptop cover. I love this greeny/mint/light tiffany blue hybrid and obviously am trying to cover myself and my life in this beautiful tone.

Essence Colour & Go in 125 Absolutely Blue is a muted pale blue that walks the line between a blue and lilac. I think this is a really unique shade that would suit lots of different skin tones and outfits. I cant wait to wear his one and hopefully I will like the formula because Essence is so cheap and I can get some more!

Lastly, Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Xtreme Wear Nail Colour in 420 Pacific Blue. I first heard about this one in the blogging community and I didn’t give into the hype until now. I love this vibrant electric blue and think it will be on my nails all year round. I think this shade looks nice against my pale skin but I think it would compliment darker skin tones too.

So that’s how I’ve been dabbling in the cooler side of the nail polish spectrum!
