TNNOTW: China Glaze Calypso Blue

As usual on thursdays it's ninja nails! Today she's showing us China Glaze Calypso Blue, a pretty dark blue creme. Sorry about the quality of the pictures, I didn't bring my lightbox with me so we made a makeshift one with a kitchen lamp and a single sheet of white paper. The pictures turned out decent considering!

This is pretty color accurate, it is a dark dark blue but not so dark it looks black in any lighting.


This color was very pigmented, used 2 coats for the pictures. It was a little bit runny which made application tricky which is sad cause blue polishes are always hard to clean up. The color seem to want to get stuck in your skin and give you smurf fingers. It is a perfect dark blue color, really dark but not black as some dark cremes tend to look, especially in low light. This wont be mistaken for black in any light setting though. Awesome!

TNNOTW: Zoya Envy

She's baaaaaaack! My very own ninja and today she's wearing a gorgeous green! Zoya Envy!

This is a really beautiful dark green creme, it has a slight shimmer in it, you can tell right where the ligh hits the nail. The shimmer isn't visible 90% of the time though so I still call this a creme.


Application was great, just like the other Zoya polishes I have tried. It took 2 coats to get it opaque. It looks more or less green in different lights but never thought it looked really black like some dark cremes do. Gorgeous color!

TNNOTW: China Glaze Cords

What does TNNOTW stand for you might ask? It's The Ninjas Nails of the Week, a new segement for this blog that premiers today! WOO! Beer and cake for everyone!
It is exactly what it sounds like, my very own nail ninja will sneak in with pictures of her nails once a week! To give you guys a break from watching my nails all the time :P

Without further ado I bring you, no SHE brings you China Glaze Cords

China Glaze Cords is a warm grey from the Retro Diva collection that came out this fall. It looks almost light brown or taupe in some lights, can especially see it in this picture. Really interesting and gorgeous with a slight shimmer.

Colder lighting brings out the more grey tones

Looks gorgeous in the bottle!

This was 3 coats but it would have been enough with 2. Application was easy, just love the China Glaze brushes!

That's what I had for you this week
