I love periwinkle blue nail polish, boy do I ever love periwinkle blue nail polish (almost as much as my beloved purple!) so I can't help myself from collecting more and more. A few years ago this was a problem because I couldn't find it anywhere but now it seems almost every brand carries their own version - this post features Essie's.
Bikini So Teeny is described on Essie's website as a "pretty yet provocative cornflower blue" although as usual I beg to differ. Cornflowers are a little deeper blue than this polish so I think my description of BST as periwinkle is a little more accurate - check out Wikipedia if you want to compare for yourself! Getting down to discussing application I found this to be on the temperamental side and I had to be very careful to avoid patchiness - in the end a third coat was necessary to get the even coverage I wanted. Ooh the colour is pretty though - this would look brilliant against darker skin too!

Are you a periwinkle fan too?
I have a seriously weak spot for those light periwinkles too - and this one is one of the really pretty ones :)
ReplyDeleteIt's a very vibrant shade and a standout for me too!
DeleteThis is so pretty x

Perfect for spring and summer I think - very pretty indeed!
DeleteHoly moly this one is pretty. It's very unique!
ReplyDeleteI think that's why I love this colour - so eye catching!
DeleteI love this color a lot. I don't have quite this shade still, though!
ReplyDeleteIt's extremely pretty - maybe a new addition for spring?
DeleteLOVE this shade! It's so bright and cheerful!
ReplyDeleteCheerful is a great way to describe this one!
DeleteOne of my favourite Essie shades! :) It's absolutely beautiful and I feel it's a very unique blue.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty I agree, even if I did struggle with the formula a little, lol!
DeleteI love this shade and it looks beautiful on you! I have to be careful about which I pick up though - they tend to look different once on my hands. The new Deborah Lippmann Blue Orchid is similar but lighter and duskier.
ReplyDeleteI wish I could get my hands on Deborah Lippmann - or get Deborah Lippmann on my hands! I'm forever drooling over her polish concoctions :)
