NOTD: The Perfect Summer Blue


At the weekend I picked up a new nail varnish - the Maybelline Forever Strong Super Stay Gel Nail Color in Uptown Blue. The shade jumped out at me by a mile; I think it has the perfect balance between pastel and bright. It's not too muted yet it's not an in-your-face neon, which makes it just the perfect summer blue for me. The formula is thick, shiny and long lasting, giving me a good five days or so wear time. I've mentioned before that I'm a big fan of the wide nail varnish brush and this one ticks that box for sure; it's not far off being as wide as the nail on my little finger!

The Maybelline Forever Strong Super Stay Gel Nail Color in Uptown Blue costs £4.49 normally, though I got mine half price thanks to a Boots offer (buy one get one half price on Maybelline products). You can take a look at the rest of the shade range here!

What do you think of this shade? What is your favourite blue nail varnish for summer?
