The Julie G Nail Color in Tokyo Nights is a dark navy. The polish is super opaque, I only used one coat in my swatches. As dark polishes tend to do, Tokyo Nights did stain my nails a bit around the edges, so I would recommend some kind of base to be paired with it. XOX ♥
Price: $7.50 * Buy At: Beauty Brands * Size: 0.5 fl oz China Glaze Blue Swayed is a shimmery navy, exclusive to Beauty Brands for the holidays. Blue Swayed has a very opaque formula and I only used one coat in my swatch photos! It was really nice and easy to apply, I really like this polish! XOX ♥
Price: $2.49 * Buy At: Target * Size: 0.4 fl oz The Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Nail Color in Big Teal is a semi-bright aqua with no shimmer or glitter. The color is quite similar to Essie In The Cab-ana, which is one of my favorite polishes. As I have experienced with other polishes from the Xtreme Wear line, Big Teal has a very opaque formula that covers the nail evenly. On my nails is two coats of Big Teal. XOX ♥
Price: $8.49 * Buy At: Target * Size: 0.46 fl oz The Essie Nail Lacquer in In The Cab-ana is a bright aqua blue with no shimmer or glitter. To me, it is a really summery blue, but it is a gorgeous color all year round. In The Cab-ana has a really opaque formula without being thick. In the past I have had some issues with Essie polishes, but this one is really good. I used two coats of In The Cab-ana in the pictures. XOX ♥
Price: $8.50 * Buy At: Target * Size: 0.46 fl oz / 13.5 ml The Essie Nail Lacquer in Beach Bum Blu is a metallic teal blue. Beach Bum Blu has a pretty thin formula, but it isn't patchy. It had a pretty quick dry time and I didn't find the brush strokes to be too apparent, as they often are with metallic polishes. I used 2 coats of Beach Bum Blu in the photos. XOX ♥
Price: $2.49 * Buy At: Target * Size: 11.8 mL The Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Nail Color in Breezy Blue is a pale blue with very subtle shimmer. Breezy Blue is part of the Xtreme Wear permanent line. One coat of Breezy Blue is quite sheer and gives the nails an icy look. Somehow with two coats it became completely opaque, despite the rather sheer, thin formula. You can really see the frosty micro shimmer in the polish with one coat, but with two it just looks like a creme, with the shimmer no longer visible. Shown on my nails is two coats of Breezy Blue. XOX ♥
Price: $8 * Buy At: Target * Size: 0.46 fl oz The Essie Nail Lacquer in Mint Candy Apple is a bright pale blue. Although "mint" is in the name, it really doesn't have any green in it, it's pretty much a true blue. I did swatch this polish about a year ago, but looking back at it, I don't like how it looks, so I wanted to post new swatches. Mint Candy Apple has a nice formula, like the other Essie colors I have tried. I used two coats of Mint Candy Apples in the pictures. XOX ♥
Price: $8 * Buy At: Orly's Website * Size: 0.6 fl oz The Orly Nail Lacquer in Royal Navy is a dark cobalt blue shimmer. Royal Navy has a great thin polish that gives the nails a very smooth appearance and is almost impossible to make apply streaky. Depending on how thick your coats are, Royal Navy is opaque with two or three coats. XOX ♥
Price: $8 * Buy At: * Size: 0.46 fl oz / 13.5 ml Essie Naughty Nautical is a green teal with shimmer. The shimmer isn't super noticeable on the nails, however. It's formula is not too thick or too thin and applies very evenly to the nails. One coat wasn't quite opaque, so I used two for the swatch pictures. XOX ♥
Price: $9 * Buy At: Zoya's Website * Size: 0.5 fl oz The Zoya Nail Lacquer in Robyn is a bright mid tone blue with a bit of a green tint. I thought that Robyn would be similar to Essie In The Cab-ana, but In The Cab-ana is lighter and is more green. Robyn has a great formula that is thin, but highly pigmented. It only required two coats to be fully opaque and gives the nails a smooth and shiny look. XOX ♥
