Today, I have another soft and pretty polish to share with you from the Zoya Lovely Spring 2013 Collection. Blu is a light pastel blue with a creme finish, and it is my favorite color from the collection!
I can't get enough of this blue. It has a dreamy, delicate quality to it that I'm totally in love with. I've been searching for a baby blue with a good formula for some time, and I'm so happy to have found Blu. It applies smoothly and easily, drying quickly to a glossy shine. And two coats is all I needed for opacity. It's just a tad runny, so be sure to wipe off the brush well or you may get some pooling.

I thought Blu might be similar to Zoya's Kristen, so I compared them side-by-side. As you can see, they are actually quite different. Kristen is darker and much more gray, while Blu is a pure light blue with no discernible gray tinge. I was pretty disappointed with how gray Kristen turned out to be, with barely a noticeable blue tint, so I'm really happy that Blu is exactly what I wanted.
You can find Blu on Zoya.com for $8 for 0.5 fl oz. If you are new to Zoya, you can get your first two bottles of Zoya for $8 total and free shipping! More info HERE.

Look at that blue!!! Absolutely gorgeous!! I wonder if its similar to Lime Crimes Once in a Blue Mousse? Beautiful swatches!! :)
ReplyDeleteIsn't it just beautiful?! I think so too! :-)
DeleteI don't have Once in a Blue Mousse, but from swatches I've seen, Blue Mousse looks more aqua and a little darker than Blu.
Thanks! <3

I agree with you! This is such a great, classy and delicate shade! Plus two coats is NIIIICE for such coverage! :D
ReplyDeleteThanks, I'm glad you approve! It's such a pretty shade, and the formula's fantastic! :-)

SOOO PRETTY!!!! lol. I've never been into pastel blues, but something about this one jumped out at me.
ReplyDeleteThanks, I'm glad you're liking this! I'm actually not a huge pastel polish-wearer either, but light blue is a weakness of mine that has recently developed. :-)

I'm not into pastels (on myself, like them on others) but it is pretty! And although I think pastels are too light for me, I guess it would look ok on me since it does on you, and we have such similar coloring. :) So I'll try it if I ever want a pastel. ;)
ReplyDeleteYou should definitely give this a try, Sherri. I think you'll really like it. I'm not a huge pastel-polish wearer either, but this one surprised me with how nice it looks on me. :-)
Delete~ Yun
You look fantastic in pastels for sure! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much! <3

ReplyDeleteIsn't it?! I'm glad you like it! :-)
Delete~ Yun
ohh my goodness!
ReplyDeleteIt's pretty fantastic, isn't it?! :-)
Delete~ Yun
lovely!!
ReplyDeleteOh man I seriously need some Zoya in my life - considering a trip to the US just to do a huge haul! I love this colour, and it looks amazing on you Yun, Eeee I'm so jelly!
ReplyDeleteYou do need some Zoyas, for sure! Too bad they are so hard to get in Australia. :( Thanks so much, I'm totally loving this one too!
Delete~ Yun
That's gorgeous! I'm not normally a "blue" person, but I could see myself wearing this a lot!
ReplyDeleteThanks, I'm glad you're liking this one! :-)
Delete~ Yun
Amazing. And I'm sure the formula will be a million times better than Essie's Borrowed and Blue. I don't know, sometimes Essie formula is questionable! I absolutely need this :)
ReplyDeleteThe formula's fantastic, for sure! I'm glad you like it! :-)
Delete~ Yun
Pretty! And it looks superb on you :)
ReplyDeleteLove it :0) It's so pigmented
ReplyDeleteAhhh this is so pretty! Perfect for spring :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, I'm glad you like it! I think this is a pretty special color too! :-)
Delete~ Yun
I LOVE this one!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!
ReplyDeleteIt might be a dupe for Illamasqua Caress but I still love this one!!!
Yay I'm so glad you love this! I don't have Caress, but the two seem close from swatches I've seen. However, you can never have too many baby blues, is my philosophy. :-)
Delete~ Yun
Now this one... this one is already on my wish list!!! I'm just waiting for some Zoya promotion!! it looks FANTASTIC on you, Yun!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, I'm glad you like it! It's soooo beautiful! :-)
