31 Day Challenge: Day 5

Good morning! Today's theme in my 31 day challenge is Blue Nails.
If you missed the start of this challenge, head back to this post to see what's up!


I have a lot of blue polishes, and recently got a few great ones! So it was hard to decide which one to use today, but eventually I decided to use H&M - Peppermint Fusion.


I love the bottles these H&M polishes come in, but the cap is a bit awkward to paint with.


When I found this polish at H&M in Toronto I squealed because I wanted it so bad! I had seen it here on Nailside and figured it was only available in European H&M's.


This is a beautiful cornflower blue, similar to Essie's Lapis of Luxury or Smooth Sailing, but the difference here is the shimmer!


The shimmer is a bright blue/turquoise color so it really pops from the base.


It's too pretty! This is 3 coats for full coverage. I love it!


Coincidentally, the day I bought this polish I also bought a bright blue cardigan from H&M! So that is the blue item I'm showing you along with the polish.
I love this cardi and it was only $19.95! H&M has such good prices. (The polish was a bit more expensive than it should be, though - $5.95 for 9mL.)

Tomorrow's theme is violet/purple... How on earth will I pick?!

  9. I guess its because the bottle reminds me of Butter London that I wonder if that square part pulls straight up off a smaller cap like the BL ones do. The color is gorgeous!
