30 Days of Blues for Autism Awareness - Nina Ultra Pro Out of the Blue
Hi all! Today is Day 10 in my "30 Days of Blues". I'm going to keep things short and sweet today (are you saying "thank goodness" LOL) because I have to run a thousand errands this afternoon.
Anyway, today's blue is Nina Ultra Pro Out of the Blue...
Anyway, today's blue is Nina Ultra Pro Out of the Blue...
I originally purchased this one several years ago because I read it was a dupe to Chanel's Blue Satin. I had fallen in love with Blue Satin, but I refused to purchase it at $23. That was back in the day when spending more than $10 on a polish was a completely foreign concept to me. So, I had read that there were a few dupes of Blue Satin floating around and Out of the Blue was one of them. I must say, in pictures, it looks quite similar, but that's said without doing a direct comparison.
I had worn this one a few years ago, but today when I put it on, it was much darker and murkier than I remember. Unless you are in bright light, the shimmer is completely lost in the deep navy base. This is why I added the gold and silver chains (using ChG Passion and Misa Got to Be Real, respectively, with the chains stamp from Bundle Monster plate BM12) and the little rhinestones. I was trying to do anything I could to liven this up. It's still a pretty color, but if you are looking for a navy shimmer, and not just a dupe to Chanel Blue Satin, there are better ones to be found.
Nina Ultra Pro is a discontinued polish, but if you are looking for a Blue Satin dupe, I hear that Rimmel has one (Midnight Blue).
Hope you all are enjoying my "30 Days of Blues" posts. I greatly appreciate you reading them, as this is an issue that is so near and dear to me. I'll be back tomorrow with another blue polish. I swear... after this, I'm going to have to detox with boring pinks. :P
