Monday Blues: Nails Inc Baker Street

Hello lovelies! It's the last Monday Blues of the year! If I'm not mistaken, I have done 35 Monday Blues posts this year. That's almost 8 months worth of posts, and I'm so proud that I didn't miss one week since I started this. So naturally, I had to close the year with a really special polish. This is one that has been talked about and raved about so much, that I don't think it needs any introduction.

I think the people who know me well or read my blog constantly are sick of hearing me talk about this polish. It has been on my wishlist since this spring, I think, but when I saw it in London I was incapable of spending 11£ on a polish. So I waited patiently for Asos to bring out some kind of set or offer. My patience was rewarded and I got this and 3 other Nails Inc blue polishes for only 20£. Just in time to wear it for my birthday

Baker Street is the most gorgeous cobalt blue creme ever invented. But of course it's a pain to photograph. It's a bit more purple in real life compared to my artificial light pictures. In the sun, it looks less purple but a bit darker than my pictures show. Oh well, at least you can have an idea of the color from my photos, but you will have to see it in person to understand its true beauty. I have a couple of similar polishes (Astor 070 and H&M Blue My Mind) and I will try to do a comparison and show the differences between them.

One thing that makes this a winner is the great formula. 2 coats are enough to make it opaque and it dries very shiny. I noticed that it has a weird smell, similar to latex, but those who work with latex gloves like me shouldn't mind too much. To others it could be a little disturbing.

This one will surely make it into my 2012 favorites that I will probably post tomorrow. Monday Blues will be back next year, of course. Meanwhile you can check out what these ladies have prepared today:

  7. You must! It's even cheaper at Sephora over there than it is in Europe. I'm sure you won't regret it!
