Once again I am presenting you with a well blogged about polish. But some polishes are so pretty that they deserve multiple viewings. So, today I am reminding you of China Glaze's Blue Sparrow from the Ink Collection released during the Summer of 2008. For those who are not familiar, China Glaze Blue Sparrow is a medium blue neon glitter. It contains a micro teal glitter. It you require a smooth finish or glossy finish, you will than need a top coat. Surprisingly, since I normally prefer smooth finishes, I was able to wear this polish without a top coat. When I first started blogging, I read several other posts and they all said that these neons dried matte. Personally, I would not equate this to the matte of true matte polishes. In these two pictures, I did not add any top coat and as you can see, while the finish is somewhat matte, there is still a shine of sorts. So if you haven't tried China Glaze Blue Sparrow or it's been a while since you have worn it, give it a try. It's one that needs more exposure.

Remember, treat your nails as jewels, not tools. Grace and Peace.
This looks really pretty on you! I guess this would be more of a satin matte, wouldn't it? I have this and love it, of course. It's a gorgeous shade!
ReplyDelete@Nicole, "Satin Matte" that's a good description. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI usually don't go for darker blue polishes, but this color is so gorgeous!
