Since Alfie has pretty much taken over my life in the last week, I haven’t had a chance to even do anything with my nails. Picking up dog poop doesn’t really lend itself to me wanting to do something pretty with my nails. So in order to get back to some sense of normalcy, I decided to try out a new color that I received from Miss Professional Nail. When I first saw this color, I immediately thought of the Kate Bosworth movie Blue Crush. It’s funny how colors will sometimes elicit such vivid memories and images.
If you’ve read some of my other posts, you probably already know how much I love blue. And purple. And red. And…well, I might as well admit that there are very few nail polish colors that I don’t enjoy. However, I’ve really been on a blue/green/teal/turquoise kick so Board Girl Blue was definitely up my alley. I thought that maybe I had other similar colors but so far it seems to be a lot brighter and less smoky than other polishes I thought could be dupes.
I wanted to konad the life out of this nail polish, but sometimes you just have to stay simple and clean. I really loved this color and the formula was great. I probably could have gotten away with one coat if I had been really careful, but I applied two to even out the color. One of the things I like the most about this nail polish is the really wide brush. I have wide nail beds so the brush applies the polish perfectly. When I saw how bright and saturated this color is, I was afraid that it would stain my nails. Thankfully, that did not happen. This creme polish is part of the new California Gleamin’ Collection. For more information, you can visit the Miss Professional Nail website at http://www.misspn.com and you can also shop their colors here.
What do you think of this color? Is it something you would wear? Thanks for reading and have a great weekend!

This is a gorgeous blue! It puts me in mind of beaches, blue skies and holidays!
Exactly! I felt the same way…very beachy color.
What a pretty blue – and it is def the perfect name!!
Perfect name for sure. I really like this blue because it's so bright.
Pretty blue I love it!
You keep telling me you do your nails but I have yet to see some proof! You did a great job on Zoe's nails. I bet she loves it.
Such a very pretty blue! I totally get just wanting to leave a mani simple even when I've got grand plans for glitter, layering, or tape.
Dog poo is no fun, our two dogs are poop machines!
LOL poop machines! Double the dog, double the poop.
I've been feeling less inclined to do nail art lately. Sometimes a clean mani is all that I need.
I gotta get used to your new layout here…
I love blue. It can be calming, electric, exciting, soothing, sexy….everything! I need more blues in my life… This is VERY pretty.
I keep messing with it. lol It seems that I can never leave well enough alone. I do find this blue very soothing…probably because it's so beach-inspired and I love how calming the ocean is to me.

Would I wear it…? Pshhh I think you know after my vomit-in-your-mouth glitter combo earlier. :p In all seriousness tho this is so pretty! Lucky you getting it for review!! I will have to look into this brand cuz I sure do love some bright saturated colors! 🙂
Oh and y'know how you always say just looking at the texture of glitter makes you wanna barf? THIS (http://www.beautylish.com/f/azizyu/goldmine-nails-and-lips) makes me seriously wanna barf when I see it because of the texture. It looks really pretty but ew… it just grosses me out. Sorry in advance for torturing you if you choose to click the link.
I think it goes so beyond the realm of normal that I kinda like it. I like to look at it, that is. But, I would never, ever, do this to my nails. NEVER!
I thought the worst part was the lips!! EW! Now THAT grosses me out. Chunky lips? No thank you. Never ever ever. Ew.
Vomit and nail polish…we could start a new trend.
Ewww… maybe we should slow down on the trend-setting. :p

I like it and I would wear it! I can't really pick an overall favorite nail polish color, either, but blue/teal is pretty high up there.
I go through phases and I think I'm in my blue period. Either I'm Picasso, or I really need to see my doctor.

This is a pretty shade of blue. Blues are in my favorite zone of colors yet I don't tend to wear blues on my nails much.
