<h2>shu uemura for WKW: Bleu Splendor Mini Nail Duo</h2>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.shuuemura-usa.com/_us/_en/makeup/nails/bleu-splendor-mini-nail-duo.htm">shu uemura Bleu Splendor Mini Nail Duo</a></strong> ($32.00 for 2 x 0.168 fl. oz.) is a set of polishes that can be used together or alone. The first shade is a rich, midnight blue cream that&#8217;s opaque in two coats. It has just a hint of purple, making it nearly royal blue. <a href="http://www.temptalia.com/deborah-lippmann-i-know-what-boys-like-nail-lacquer-review-photos-swatches#image1">Deborah Lippmann I Know What Boys Like</a> is lighter but similar in hue. <a href="http://www.temptalia.com/orly-viva-collection-for-summer-2010-review-photos-swatches#image2">Orly La Playa</a> is a bit darker but similar as well. The second shade is a multi-colored glitter with large, hexagonal glitter suspended in a clear base. It similar to <a href="http://www.temptalia.com/china-glaze-let-it-snow-collection-reviews-photos-swatches-part-1#image4">China Glaze Snow Globe</a> and <a href="http://www.temptalia.com/mac-glitter-ice-nail-lacquer-review-photos-swatches#image1">MAC Unconditionally Fabulous</a>. Together, the two are stunning&#8211;multi-colored glitter with larger, hexagonal glitter over such a rich backdrop? It was designed to be lovely.</p>
<p>The application was nice; the formula had a good consistency that allowed for even flow across the nail, good color intensity for each coat, and never felt too thick. I tested out wearing the two layered (the blue as a base, the sparkling shade layered on top), and I didn&#8217;t experience any wear issues&#8211;the two wore for a week with minor tip wear and no chipping.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m a bit stunned at the price tag, though. I believe the full-sized shu lacquers are $16&#8211;the two shades together are the equivalent of a single bottle and yet the price tag is double. The smaller bottles are cute to look at but less functional than full-sized polishes because of the smaller, shorter cap, which can be less comfortable to use, depending on the size of your hands.</p>
