BYS: Alaskan Blue

*Sigh*. This is the last of my vacation manis - but I think it's a good one!

Alaskan Blue caught my eye when I spied it in the almighty wall of BYS polish at Cosmetics Plus and it completely wowed me when I wore it cos:  I love blues, greens, metallics, foils and this shade has it all!  Alaskan Blue sounds like a cold name but I thought it was a wonderful summery aquatic polish, and I'd describe the colour as aquamarine blue.  Two coats applied neatly and easily and the result was eye-catching and very photogenic.  See what you think...

Summer shade or winter shade??

That's it for now.

      Now you've got me thinking! I agree Alaskan Blue doesn't seem right - maybe more like Tahitian Blue Paradise?

    WOW! That's blue! I like it! I think it's a great summer shade, but it would really look pretty in the snow over here!

      Oooh yes! It would lovely in winter - I think it would have more of a deep jewel toned feel against paler winter skin :)

    Ok that's a hard one. The colour can be termed as a Summer shade but the finish - it's sort of sparkly so makes it a Winter shade. Hmm...both seasons I guess! ;)

      I'm thinking that too...I think this is a real trans-seasonal nail polish shade!

    Oh, I think it would be perfect for both summer and winter! Kind of like beautiful seas, but also jewel tones for icy winter. I like it!

    It is GORGEOUS. And now that I know what your colouring is like, I think it'd look stunning up against your face and hair!

    That is a beautiful shade, it isn't too frosty or metallic which I really like.

      Just the right amount of foil shimmer, yes!

    What a gorgeous shade on you, Vita! You certainly do it justice!

    I think it is versatile enough to be worn during both seasons!
