Blu looks slightly darker on the nail than it does in the bottle, and in some lighting even takes on a bit of a glow in the dark quality. I imagine using a white polish as a base coat would get a more true to bottle color. This would be such a nice contrast for those with darker complexions or a bit of a tan!Blu was a one coater for me, except on my thumbs, which needed a second coat around the edges. The polish is slightly thick but leveled out nicely. Sadly, the Julep Fast Dry top coat I used bubbled a bit :-( Blu was not the culprit, however, as it performed nicely.

That's so interesting that you found this polish thick. I got a bottle a little while ago and found that I needed two serious coats for coverage because it was so thin! Funny how different batches of the same colour can be. It really is a great blue, though! :)
ReplyDeleteThat is interesting - so much for quality control!
DeleteNice, very spring-y. I hate it when topcoats bubble, it's like you spend all this time making sure the base color goes on perfectly and then BAM, ruined!
ReplyDeleteI know! I can't remember this top coat bubbling before, but may it did and this color just showed it more.
DeleteWhat a pretty color! I have one bottle of Zoya and found it to be really thick as well.
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous.. I love how it looks on your nails vs in the bottle.
