The sky over Glasgow has once again reverted to grey and dreary so I went for some sky blue to counteract it.
This is a Topshop dress from a few years ago which I love. It can be dressed up or down (today the grey converse and a green hoody were added), the waist is elasticated and the print is white hearts.
I almost matched my nails to it with Barry M varnish in Blueberry Ice Cream.
Honestly? I'm a little disappointed. It didn't apply as nicely as other Barry M shades, it was either too thin and a little streaky or too thick and not settling smoothly. It's also darker on than it appears in the bottle, and I was really hoping for a more pastel blue (a blue equivalent to the Berry Ice Cream shade). It's not all bad - I do like the colour, it just wasn't what I expected, and I think it will look good with the white crackle top coat. If I was more artistic I'd attempt some cloud detailing but it would probably just result in white blobs.
Anyone know of a more pastel shade of blue?
That nail polish is a really pretty colour!
ReplyDeleteIt is a lovely colour, and will probably become a replacement for sunshine come winter!
ReplyDeleteI love the blue together with the grey! Very summery xxx
