Fall 2011 Nail Polish Trend – Bold Beautiful Blues
And as brands have continued to evolve their mixing techniques we are being treated to more unique finishes and sparkle combinations than we’ve seen in the past.
China Glaze Skyscraper is a blue ball of fun. It’s a semi-sheer glitter jelly polish with a softened midnight blue base. It reminds me of a twilight sky, before it darkens to an inky navy. It’s one of the two polishes that required three coats and that’s so that the glitter can be properly suspended. What intrigues me about this color is how the finish can look similar to a glass fleck at one angle and like a foil-ish metallic from another.
The Old School Blues
You don’t have to buy new colors to be on trend, just shop your nail polish wardrobe for these classic sapphire blues.
Best colors to pair with Blue – Grey, camel, pumpkin, ruby, silver, gold
Thoughts on the resurgence of the blue nail color trend? Do you prefer straight-up blues to the greyed and green tinged tones? Which new colors do you plan to pick up? What are your favorite blue nail polishes?
