Pop of colour!

Blue


I’m not the girliest of girls, but I do love me some pink. I know it’s super girly, but it’s the one shade that immediately brightens up my day. I looove it sooo much that I recently bought a pink scoop neck A line dress that I can’t wait to wear to a wedding this weekend!



Although I love the feminine and playful nature of the colour pink, I’ve been gravitating towards a not-so-girly shade—blue. I’m not usually drawn to this hue; however, I have been craving all shades of blue lately. Everything from, turquoise to teal to cobalt.


When purchasing nail polish, I always grab a “safe” colour (Read: pink, lavender, beige—I’m sooo boring!), but I daringly bought a teal coloured nail polish (Sally Hansen- Calypso Blue) on my last visit to the drug store.


I wore it to work and I received tons of approval. Okay, I exaggerate, but it definitely updated my look and made me look ready for summer. It’s such a vibrant colour—it practically screams fun, fun, fun! This is my new go-to shade.


I love the nail polish that I bought, but I still wanted more blue. I went back to the drugstore and located a blue eye shadow combo that didn’t look too tacky or “clownish.” It’s a bright teal shadow paired with a muted navy colour (L’Oreal eye shadow Duo - Showy) that has endless dramatic possibilities. I could play it down with a gold tone or I could totally own it and wear it with shades of green.




Those 2 purchases have helped me in my “blue period,” but I still want more. I’m thinking of buying a cobalt blue form fitting dress! I’ll let you know when I find it!
