How are you doing today? I spent almost my entire evening yesterday with watching X Factor UK haha. Any of you watching as well? Who's your favorite? I've had a thing for Matt ever since his first audition, but yesterday he didn't have his hat on and he was wearing a suit and I actually thought he was pretty hot hehe! Ahem, what was I talking about? Oh, right, nail polish *giggles*.
Orly Royal Navy, three coats in daylight. Royal navy is a gorgeous bright blue jelly with aqua colored glass flecks that are scattered here and there in the polish. I put on three coats and still had obvious visible nail line, which is a bit of a down side for me. Maybe I should have tried a fourth coat, but I left it at this.
In this picture you can clearly see what I mean by scattered glass flecks. They are not evenly defided within the polish, making them pop up randomly on the nail. The contrast is pretty nice! 
Application was pretty good, I always have some problems with jellies somehow, maybe it's just my lack of skills hehe. Dryingtime was good. The color is a little *bright* for me, so that's something to get used to. This is a polish that I actually picked up because everyone was raving about it and I thought I'd give it a shot. It's definitely pretty, only not my kinda color (yet). I'll have to wear it some more to let the shade grow on me! What do you think of Royal Navy? Worth the hype?
favorite. blue. EVER!
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful :))
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! I would describe it as cobalt blue more than royal navy.

Cosmetics Aficionado I wouldn't call this royal either.. I agree with you! It looks like cobalt blue to me, or 'just' blue when I look at the wikipedia color chart.
ReplyDeleteZara I was debating on this one for a long time too, but I'm kinda glad I picked it up. I still have to get used to the color though haha!
