The colour is absolutely gorgeous, its a deep flat blue, which might be simplistic in nature, but they really have got the hue just right. Its exactly the right depth of blue to not look too bright and risk looking too daring for office work apparel, nor does it look too dark to make it not register as a blue.
Now onto the formula and I have a slightly mixed opinion, Its rather thick and has extremely good coverage so you can get away with one coat if you wish. I would also say that for someone like myself who has a very poor wear time with the majority of brands out there, this actually tops my favourite brands for long wear/less chips (Laura Mercier and Le Metier de Beaute).
However, because not everything can be perfect, the dry down time might well be the longest I have ever experienced, Its taken me a while to learn to leave this at least an extra 10 minutes than I would normally allow.
Though the drying time requires a new level of patience, I think the extremely good wear and effortless chic colour has made this a firm favourite and I will definitely look for future polish releases from BB.

Very nice color. There may be a trade off between drying time and longevity. Have you tried it with a fast drying top coat, you can maybe shorten the time like that.
ReplyDeleteI've tried it with normal top coats, but thats a good idea to pair it with a fast drying one, thanks for that :)
DeleteOooh it's lovely. I have one BB polish and the wear time on that is amazing too but I haven't noticed it taking ages to try. Any excuse to put it on again!
ReplyDeleteunless its just my heavy handed application ;)
DeleteIt is a lovely colour isn't it, I've seen they have a new kit on their site that has a dark coloured polish which is really tempting me :)
I have one BB nail polish and honestly I don't really like it. The drying time takes very long for me and it is very thick in texture.
ReplyDeleteThe drying time is frustrating, I am sure it must be because of its thickness, I just really like the wear and colour though :)
