There's a little tale to tell about this nail polish -
I've recently realised I have a new colour obsession - cobalt blue - as the colour was appearing more and more in my wardrobe. Of course that meant I had to have THE perfect cobalt blue polish to complement the wardrobe. And the perfect cobalt blue polish is....Nails Inc Baker Street! So, I order it online, the order is invoiced when the seller realizes it's...OUT OF STOCK!!! My mood goes from excitement to frustration and then I must WAIT another two weeks.
Well, finally it's mine and yes it's the blue I dreamt of, the blue I really didn't have, the blue I HAD to have. A true cobalt blue creme and soooo hard to capture accurately. I've colour corrected the hell out of this and I still don't think I've done it justice. Just trust me on this one, okay! It really is up there if you're a cobalt-obsessed person like me!!

What's your current colour obsession?
As I'm reading this I'm about to pop essie 'Butler Please' on my nails. It's not as bright as Baker Street, but definitely a similar tone. I will have to check this one out when my spending ban is over! Great swatches :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks Angie! I must admit I've been drooling over Butler Please too :)
DeleteBeautiful shade, and a very popular one to boot! I have a whole stash of shades similar to this that I really need to post up soon.
ReplyDeleteI've accumulated a bit of a collection too lately although this one's THE one for me!
DeleteLove that color and your layout looks beautiful x
ReplyDeleteThank you Coco! xo
DeleteLOL - I'm glad you got it, I agree it's difficult to live without ;)
ReplyDeleteI was completely and utterly obsessed with owning this! So happy to have it in my collection :)
DeleteAHHHHHHHH I was thinking that I didn't need this, as I have Dior Electric Blue, but this one is BRIGHTER and I need it. I NEED IT.
ReplyDeleteYES Larie you do need it! I know Liz has a bottle too so...
DeleteBest kind ob blue, i have about 4 polishes in this color :)
ReplyDeleteOoh I envy you - I'm working on building my own collection now! xo
DeleteLovely blue on you.
ReplyDeleteBut .... i swear i saw something similar on your blog already. Am i going crazy?
I'd never say you were crazy! I have some similar metallic shades I've posted but not the cremes though. I think that's what you've seen?
DeleteMust be.. or maybe i was thinking of the IG pics too.
DeleteYes, I have posted this on IG!
Deletebeautiful color, this is one of my favorites!
ReplyDeleteIt's so gorgeous - I'm hooked!! xo
DeleteGorgeous shade! LOVE royal blue! I think my fave would definitely have to be fuchsia. I'm just constantly attracted to that shade!
ReplyDeleteFuchsia is up there for me too - one of my first ever nail polishes was a fuchsia cream!
DeleteYES! I know exactly what you mean re getting a specific shade in your head and NEEDING it in real life!
ReplyDeleteGlad that this satisfies the lemming for you, it truly is a gorgeous shade. :)
Thank you Nalini xo
DeleteI don't get colour obsessed as much these days (cos my collection is pretty out of control!) but I have to say this was a huge obsession for me and I'm glad I've now got it!
I'm SO happy that you have this polish! I think it's the best blue ever. I know that YSL and Essie both have new shades out right now that are very similar to this, but Baker Street has the best formulation AND sits at a nice price range as well. Try putting it on your toes - you'll stare at your feet all day long. :D
ReplyDeleteI was in love as soon as I put it on Liz! I love the idea of a Baker Street pedicure - I'm going to do it this weekend :) xo
DeleteOmg!!! I love this shade.. Love blues :))
ReplyDeleteI love blue too - especially cobalt. So great to see it's in fashion at the moment!
