Pretty and Polished - Boy Bleu, swatch

Monday and I'm able to come up with something at least some what blue. I bought this polish from Pretty & Polished for awhile ago and it's called Boy Bleu. It's blue opaque glitter and black opaque glitter in different sizes. There's also some occasional very large silver hexagons in it and all the glitter is in a clear base.

I don't know if this counts in Lindas Nailorama's Blue Monday theme, we'll see ;) Anyhow, more blue polishes can be found at her blog in a link list later to night.

Below you see Boy Bleu without any colored base which was a fail since it never seemed to get opaque. I used something between 4-5 coats and it just got thicker and thicker and didn't cover so well. I actually bought this because I thought it would cover on it's own like one of my favorites Ninja Polish - Humble Bee which is yellow and black glitter in a clear base. I've also seen Boy Bleu in a manicure where it was on it's own and covered, so either that was 10 coats or the polish has been reformulated with less glitter. And while I'm at it, I don't like the large silver hex glitter, there's too few to make any difference, they're just in the way.

I made a new try an this time I layered it over a white creme base with three coats and this time I liked it better. The blue glitter is very bright and almost neon in my opinion. I've also tried this with other bases and really likes it.

I recommend Boy Bleu but I think it's important to see that it's only a layering polish so you wont get disappointed (like me).

Polishes used:
HM - In It For The Game (white)
Pretty & Polished - Boy Bleu

Do you got this polish or the pink variant of it and has is covered on it's own for you?
