Blue Themed Nails!

Hi Ladies! Today I have another color themed post and the theme for today is blue!

On my index and pinky fingers, I have China Glaze Isle See You Later as base, and topped with China Glaze Don't Be A Flake.

Isle See You Later is a beautiful jelly blue polish, but it really is very very sheer. I had about 5 coats on and I can still see visible nail line.

On my middle finger, I have Color Club Over The Moon.. The holographic effect isnt very obvious in this photo as I didnt have enough light when I was taking the pictures. But I assure you, the effect is breath taking, especially under strong sunlight!

And lastly on my ring finger, I have this really gorgeous polish from Color Club called Pinky Swear!

Pinky Swear is filled with silver and magenta glitters in a blue shimmer base. The polish is quite dense, and probably more suitable to be used on it's own. I had 2 coats on.. Look how beautiful it is!

Well, that's all for today! I'll be doing more of these color themed nails, stay tuned!

Polishes Used:

Swatch: China Glaze Surprise collection

I was super excited when I saw the preview for this collection and finally I managed to get my hands on them - the China Glaze Surprise collection!

China Glaze Surprise is a glitter topper collection made up of 6 beautiful mix of sparse glitters in a clear base.

This collection doesn't do well if you try to paint them like normal polish as the glitters will either get stuck to the brush & refuse to stay on your nails, or they will all clump together.

The best way I've found is to dap the glitters onto your nails instead of trying to 'apply' them. The good thing is that the clear base is thin so you won't have problems of thick polish even if you do that.

China Glaze Don't Be A Flake

 China Glaze Don't Be A Flake is a mix of matte blue and black glitters, and reflective rose pink glitters in a clear base.

 I did notice that there are slightly lesser black glitters in there and you'll need to dig around abit for them.

It's a pain in the ass to try and capture the reflective glitters on photo.

China Glaze Glimmer More 

China Glaze Glimmer More is filled with a mix of light pink, orange, and yellow matte glitters, and fuchsia metallic glitters.

The soft shades in this polish are quite pretty actually.

China Glaze Glitter Up

China Glaze Glitter Up is a mix of pink, orange & blue matte glitters, and smaller purple glitters.

Those that look like black in the pic above? Those are the purple ones.

Probably my favourite colour combination from this collection. :)

China Glaze I'm A Go Glitter

China Glaze I'm A Go Glitter is a mix of yellow and blue matte glitters, and fuchsia metallic glitters in a clear base.

This might look pretty over a number of different base colors.

China Glaze Create A Spark

China Glaze Create A Spark is a mix of black matte glitters, and orange and purple metallic reflective glitters.

This is okay, but I think I like the matte glitters more.. )

China Glaze Shine-nanigans

China Glaze Shine-nanigans is a mix of yellow matte glitters and smaller purple & fuchsia metallic glitters.

A pretty mix of colors, but it might be hard to find a suitable base color for this as there's both light and dark colors here.

The China Glaze Surprise collection would be a great easy solution to spice up a plain base polish. The matte glitters are a little big for me as I have tiny nails so I can't squeeze more them on my nails.

My favourite from this collection would be Glitter Up and Glimmer More!

So this is it. What do you think?
