Navy buddies : OPI & Sally Hansen

The midnight hues caught my attention as the weather got cooler and crisp. Soon navy jackets and coats were on my wishlist, and before I knew it I was on the hunt for blue toned polishes for the winter.







After watching some swatches online, I was set on getting the OPI's Yoga-Ta Get This Blue, which is a dark navy color with fine glitters of blue and green. To score some discount at Ulta (3.50 off of 10+ coupon woop!), I wondered around the store to fill the extra dollar when I stumbled upon Sally Hansen's Blue It (#250). It's darker than the standard blue toned polishes that I've seen, but maybe not dark enough to be a navy. But the fine glitters add such a sparkle that it makes it very appropriate for winter and almost festive for the holidays.

OPI's Yoga-Ta Get This Blue is a deep navy color with beautiful sparkles, and it's very easy to catch the green glitters in this deep navy hue, which I thought was interesting. I think this color is much more versatile and goes with any color outfits, whereas Blue It definitely is more bold and bright for a statement polish.

These colors will be happily on my nails, replacing the red hues from last year, this fall and winter! What will your picks be this winter?
