H&M Why so Blue - swatches and review

Yey! It's Blue Monday again! :D
I'm joining in with a new blue H&M polish called Why so Blue.
This is a great polish with a great formula and a beautiful blue shade! Enjoy! :)


GOOD TO KNOW ABOUT WHY SO BLUE:

Type of polish: Cream with a slight shimmer effect.

Colour: A dusky dark blue with turquiose and purple shimmer. 

Possible dupe: Mavala Smoky Blue (I will do a comparison of these two soon).

Opacity: Great! This is two coats, but if I hadn't messed up while applying it, one coat would have been enough!! This is a one coater ladies!!! :D

Drying time: Normal. Perhaps even a bit faster since it's a one coater ;)

Formula: Excellent!! Perfect formula and so easy to apply!! It stays exactly where you want it to!

Brush: Good! A bit on the thin side for me ;) but still very easy to work with.

Shine: Shiny on its own so I have no top coat in these pictures.

Accurate colour, photo vs IRL: Quite accurate colourwise. The best picture is the first one.

Grade: 5-/5 :D

I really like this polish!! The formula is great and the colour is such a beautiful dusky shade of blue!! The only downside is that the shimmer is much more visible in the bottle than on the nails... That is the only reason I gave it 5- instead of 5. Maybe the shimmer will be more visible if I'll wear it in the summer... I'll have to get back to you on that! ;)

How do you feel about this polish?
Are you into dusky colours?

  1. Åh, tycker det var fint, den här ska jag köpa nästa gång jag är på HM, bra swatch. Inte egentligen en vårig färg men känns som om den kan vara fin till nail arts eller om man inte vill ha en skrikig färg på naglarna. Att den dessutom va onecoater gjorde ju inte saken sämre. HM är riktigt bra alltså. :)

    1. Ja, HM har hottat upp sig tycker jag! Bra pris och stark pigmentering i många lack. Jag gillar den här massor!
      Ska bli kul att se vad du gör för nail art med den här sen om du köper den!! :D

  6. Hi Cupcake, squaeeeeeeel!!!! This is awesome!!! I know exactly what you mean, I just had a similar experience with a polish I swatched for this week. But looking at your photos I see the shimmer but as glow, maybe we just have to expect glow sometimes because this as well gives a beautiful effect that sets this polish apart from a plain cream? xxx

    1. Ja, den är riktigt läcker!! :D Förstår vad dy menar med Sally... Fast de absolut inte är samma färg. Både liksom flörtar med grått och blått fast på olika sätt. Jag gillar nog den här lite lite mer än Sally, Men bara lite ;)
      Sally har ju absolut inget skimmer heller. En ren kräm. :P

  9. Jag är verkligen inne på den här lite dammiga typen av lack. Trivs oftast väldigt bra i dom.
