Hello!

This is China Glaze Blue Sparrow from 2008's Ink Collection. It's labeled as a neon by China Glaze, and it dries matte (and gritty!). I found my bottle not too long ago at Sally's, so it's still easy to get your hands on.

Swatches today are a base of Seche Clear, three coats of Blue Sparrow, and one coat of NYC In a New York Minute. This polish has the weirdest formula I have ever come across. It's thin, streaky, and gritty. You need to patient with it. Build it up using three or four coats, and give it some dry time in between. It dries matte and gritty, so a thick layer of topcoat will be needed to transform a nightmare into something wonderful.

The cobalt blue is really lovely, and the bright blue shimmer/micro glitter is stunning. I bought this without doing any research, so I was unprepared for the crazy formula. It's not unwieldy, just requires a bit of patience. I think it's worth the effort!

More soon! ^_^
Very pretty! I wonder why it dries gritty? I just love a blue!!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great blue! I should've done another coat here. I think the grittiness is either due to the neon pigments or the blue glitter/shimmer. It's worth dealing with the crazy formula! ^_^
