It's not a design, but this was my Fourth of July mani. Royal Navy has been a lemming of mine since it came out last year. I finally found it at my local Sallys and grabbed it right away. I can't believe I'm about to say this, but this may be my favorite blue polish ever.

Royal Navy is a navy blue with lots of blue and green shimmer inside. It's not one of those polishes where you need to be in a light source to see the shimmer, you can see it whenever. I've heard this called a "bright" navy blue by some and it is. The color is dark, but not so dark you think it's a totally different color.

This is two coats. I could have easily gotten away with one, but wanted to see what multiples looked like. You get much more shimmer with more than one coat. I found the formula on this to be a bit thick, but it was still easy to use and handle. It dried fast and somewhat matte, which I wasn't expecting. Top coat is definitely needed to fully bring out that shimmer.

The polish is just beautiful. I never expected something to replace my beloved OPI Yoga-Ta Get This Blue as my favorite blue polish, but I'm pretty sure this did the trick. If you somehow don't have this yet, run-don't walk-to your nearest beauty store and get this polish today. Today okay? :)
