I feel... Wicked

I went to see the Dutch version of the well-known musical Wicked earlier this month and I was blown away. It's absolutely amazing! Reason enough for me to create a nail look inspired by Glinda's dress as worn in the picture below.

The look I created;

Silly me didn't realise I didn't have a light, baby blue color so I improvised a little and used a white polish as base color. I added a general glitter polish over half the nail, a blue glitter polish to get the blueish glitter and used another jelly based blue glitter polish on the lower part of my nails to get the blue look.

I hope you like the look and that it may inspire you to create one of your own :-)

Have a great week,

I Got The Blues

Every gal needs a good dark blue nailpolish in her stash so I picked up this one by Catrice; Blues Brother Vol II. Looking at the name, I assume there's been a previous edition of this little thing, but I'm not familiar with that one so I can't compare it.
