Swatch Post: Light and Dark Blues

Hey Everyone,

I have my final blues comparison swatches.  I loved doing these just because I have these colour wheels to stare at after and watching the colour change with each coat.

This isn't mainly dark blues, there's a section of lights as well.  Basically all the blues I have left over.

Some of the nails had some dust on them, I'm not sure but it got on the nail when i was painting the first coat.  Sorry :(

Set 1
1. OPI Can't Find My Czechbook
2. Finger Paints To-Teally Chic
3. Nicole by OPI Respect the World
4. OPI Suzi Says Feng Shui

#3 Is with the old brush.  Nicole by OPI was one of the first more expensive nail polishes I tried.  Before I was very intimidated to go into the salon to buy OPI but now I have no problems.

5. Joe Fresh Teal Cyan
6. Rescue Beauty Lounge Faraway
7. OPI Russian Navy
8. OPI Into the Night

For #7 and #8, the bottles look pretty similar.  As in dark blue but the swatches tell a different story.  I love how rich Russian Navy comes off on the swatch.  It's my first navy.  I love this colour.

Set 4
13. Essence Jacob's Protection
14. Nicole by OPI Too Rich For You
15. Zoya Feifei

#13 is from the Twilight Breaking Dawn Part 2 collection.  It's hard to find Limited Edition Essence near where I live.  So when I found it at a Shoppers near my house, I basically bought it all.  I ended up buying all the nail polishes.  I may have the Gold, originally I wasn't going to buy it but I think I bought it eventually.  I'm not a big Twilight fan but I've read the books and seen the movies, so I thought why not.  I'll get some of the nail polishes.  The polish is very thick and the brush is thick.  I'm not sure if this is helpful because this is probably no longer available on the shelves.
#14 Is part of the Gossip Girl collection, so this is part of the old brush as well.  So this set is with two nail polishes that are no longer available.  Sorry about that, I am guessing people don't like to see pictures of things they can't buy but I had it in my collection so I decided to add this.

Set 5
16. Essie Smooth Sailing
17. Essie Boxer Shorts

Sorry this includes some of set 4.  For the past two comparison shots, I had added numbers for each of the colours but I didn't know if that was redundant, so I thought I'd try just labelling the first coat. I decided this after I took the pictures, so I can't retake the 2 coats picture.

These two don't look anything alike up close.  Boxer Shorts definitely is leaning more purple and not as glittery.
