My blue obsession

Hello lovely readers! Today's post is sort of a special one for me because it talks about my ultimate obsession: blue nail polish. It all started a few weeks ago when I asked Marisa from Polish Obsession how many pink polishes she has. She took it as a challenge and photographed all her pinks to do a post about them. I decided to do the same with blues because blue polish is for me what pink polish is for Marisa: the ultimate obsession. 

First I want to apologize for the quality of the pictures. My light box doesn't fit so many polishes and I didn't have any natural light, so I did my best. You will notice that most names are clickable and by clicking you will be taken to the original post about that polish. If the name is not a link, it means I haven't done a post about it yet, but feel free to request it in the comments section if you have a particular interest in something. I also inserted a jump in the post, because it's very pic heavy. Ok, that's about it. Enjoy!

In case you haven't counted, they are 71. I didn't include some turquoises that leaned more green and I also purged a few recently, so there might be some that you've seen on my blog at some point and I gave away afterwards. One thing that I'm sure of, I will never stop buying blues. To me they are all different and there are so many shades and finishes that you can never have too many. What's your obsession?

  5. I obsess over the "almost black" colors, those vampy colors that look black from far away but they really aren't when you look under a light or up close. So here I'll be changing my nail color 2-3 times a week & somebody will come up & say, "wow, your polish really stays on a long time, is that the same color as 2 weeks ago? what top coat do you use?" & I'm like "Dude, I changed my color 6 times in the last 2 weeks, what are you talking about, they are all different"!

  10. Thank you hun! Yeah I think we should also compare to the size of our collections. I think for me the blues are about a third of the whole.

  11. That's funny! I love vampy colors too! And it sometimes happens to me that I wear two different colors that look close. I sometimes do it intentionally, so people don't notice how often I change my polish. It's better for them not to know how many I have lol.

  12. Fiecare cu pasiunea sa. Eu n-am decat cateva palete de farduri si de multe ori ma gandesc ca n-am nevoie de toate. Dar la ojele mele n-as renunta. Toate sunt absolut necesare!

  13. Da, sunt cam o treime din total. Dar de exemplu din unele culori n-am decat cateva (gen roz, rosu). Blue Eyed Girl e foarte frumoasa, pacat ca pateaza unghia.
