2012's Most Swoon-Worthy Nail Polish Trends - Blue

Holly from Hooked! has organised for myself and a few other bloggers to work together showing 2012's Most Swoon-Worthy Nail Polish Trends. I thought this was a great idea! Check out Holly's post for links to the blogs showing the other trends. Don't forget to enter Holly's 50 Something Follower Giveaway too!The trend that I'll be featuring is Blue!

 KleanColor - (unknown)

2 coats

Seche Vite Top Coat

I don't actually know the name of this first blue. I bought this from Paddy's Markets and didn't check if it had a sticker. If one of you has a similar KleanColor nail polish and can suggest what this one might be please let me know in the comments below. Link me to your swatch if you have one. I had a look on the KleanColor website and I think it might be #15 Neon Sapphire but their bottle picture looks a little too light.

Anyway, this unknown blue is a dark navy blue creme polish. It's really nice. I might try putting some flakies over it.

Sally Hansen Insta-Dri - Brisk Blue
2 Coats
Seche Vite Top Coat

Brisk Blue is a light blue creme. This was almost opaque in one coat. This stained my fingers  when I cleaned up my cuticles. Can you see the blue tinge on my ring finger? It was even worse when I removed it completely, I had Smurf fingers!

Ulta3 - Hollywood

3 Coats

Seche Vite Top coat

Hollywood is a medium blue shimmer. This is a really pretty blue. I'm not happy with my picture quality but I didn't feel like re-doing it. I've been having taking photos in Manual mode ever since the sunrise camera course but I haven't quite got the hang of it yet. If you have an SLR camera and are using auto mode I suggest you go to a class. You learn so much. It's not as complicated as it looks!

So what do you think of the blue trend this year? I like it! Blue is my second favourite nail polish colour so bring on the blues!
