I need that Illamasqua on my nails, pronto.
It’s divine!
I am getting obsessed with blue nail colors! They are everywhere and for once I am not scared of rocking them!
YAY!! 🙂
Squeeeeeeee…blue nails….
You need to share some of your faves!
I love blue on nails! It used to be so hard to find 17 years ago! The selection is awe-mazing now! 🙂
Thank goodness for evolution!
Indeed! I’m so happy for all getting to try blues so easily! They surprisingly flatter skin-tones amazingly well! 😀
Aaaargh can’t decide which one I like best… They’re all so purty 🙂
I know! It would be hard to pick just one!
Zoya Rocky looks beautiful! I love Essie’s In The Cab-Ana for a bright summer blue.
That is a lovely shade!
Most of my nail polishes are blue.
For brighter blues, my picks are: Illamasqua Noble, OCC Pool Boy, Essie Truth or Flare, China Glaze Aqua Baby
Love Pool Boy, too!
Illamasqua’s Noble is such at total winner–the color, the shine and it applies beautifully!
It is a gorgeous shade!
Gorgeous! If I had any of these (envy!) I’d be all over doing a gradient with 1 and 4, with a feature nail of 5! You know, just to get ALL THE BLUES! |:-D
There you go – when in doubt, get all 😉
Noble is such a beautiful shade! It’s one of my favorite Illamasqua shades alomg with Cameo and Nomad.
I love Cameo and Nomad, too!
The Illamasqua one is everything! I love it!
It is lovely!
Oh, how I craved to wear sky blue on my nails by the end of summer just past but I haven’t come across any as beautiful as these.
There are a lot more pretty blues out there these days!
Essie ‘Bikini So Teeny’ is one of my fave blues for summer…just put it on today! Love the other colors too!
That’s such a fun shade!
That Illamasqua shade is gorgeous!
Glad you liked it, Yousra!
I’m not always one for blue nail polish, but Julep has a shade called Margaret that is the perfect spring/summer pastel blue.
Sounds pretty!
I have Illamasqua Noble and Color Club Over the Moon and they are both fantastic.
Isn’t Over the Moon so pretty? Love how it reflects!
Yes, I find myself looking at my hands a lot when I wear it.
I like the one frrom Essie called ____ ____ Bikini. lolol. I’m terrible at remembering names.
Hey, you got close enough 😉
