NOTD: Blue Lagoon



Today's Nail of the Day is Revlon's Blue Lagoon. I picked up this polish at Dollarama a few weeks ago and couldn't wait to wear it. Revlon is my favourite nail polish brand right now and I love that I can find them at Dollarama for 50% off the regular retail price. It can be pretty hit or miss on the colours you can find at Dollarama, but at my local stores I can usually find a mix of both newer and older colours.

 

When I first saw Blue Lagoon I thought it was just another light blue polish, however, upon picking it up I noticed that it had really nice silver iridescent shimmer to it. The shimmer gives the polish some depth and set its apart from the other light blues in my collection.

 

I thought at first to describe this as a Baby Blue, then I said Robin's Egg Blue, but my BF disagreed. In his exact words this nail polish is "a grey blue." And after a week of wear it does kind of look like a greyish blue. But when it was first painted and in the bottle it is a lot brighter. It reminds me of the colour of Cinderella's dress. I don't know why, but it is just what I first thought of when I saw it.

 

Unlike most other Revlon polishes I have used, this one only lasted about 4 days without chipping, whereas, I normally get a week.

This is the best picture I could get that shows the silver shimmer.
