NOTD: Azurite by JINsoon

Disclaimer:  I purchased this.
Azurite is one of the 5 color polishes from the Fall/Winter 2013 collaboration of JINsoon and women’s wear designer Amy Smilovic of Tibi.  A midnight blue with small specs that look silver most of the time, it can also flash color in more intense light.  I've seen comparison references to Essie's discontinued and much loved Starry Starry Night, but never having owned that, I can't really say.
Application was easy and Azurite wore extremely well, a full six days with minor tip wear and no chipping.  While JINsoon polishes are on the pricey end at $18, I'm impressed with the quality!  Considering I was dishes by hand (broken dishwasher) and do yard work with gloves on, I'm persuaded that the double patented formula featuring high-tech polymers and resins to ensure longer wear isn't just marketing hype.  This baby performed!
I see more JINsoon polishes in my future, especially considering I'm currently wearing Epidote and am smitten with how gorgeous it is as well.  You'll see that one next week :-)

  1. Oh! I love this color! It's perfect for fall and actually comes across as a color and not just "black" looking. So pretty!

  2. I loooove that there's SO much glitter in there!! I especially love the look of a darker polish that has sparkle in it. Great color :)

  3. This color is gorgeous!! And good to know it held up to the hype, I'm always skeptical when I hear things. (I haven't heard of this, just in general. lol) It's really lovely. And you take such great, interesting photos. Mine are pretty boring. haha

    1. I may be confused, but I do have an email address where you indicated, so I'm not sure what the problem is :-(

  7. This is such a stunning shade! I have a soft spot for navy polishes of all kinds. I think the shimmer in this is so pretty! Sounds like a really great formula too. :)

  8. That's really pretty! I personally would probably fork over $18 for a good quality polish every once in a while...there are tons of polishes that are $10+ that suck!
