this is a very pretty color very bright i just don't like the way its so thick and runny... it peels and chips very easily... just about all the xtreme colors i have used does this...i use these colors for designs or to mix colors to get another color

looove this nail polish! the color is absolutely amazing! doesn't chip too bad if you put a good top coat over it. i had to do two coats though, unlike the other reviewers.

I love this blue! It has a great finish and doesn't need more than one coat to be bold. I love the brush too. Its wide enough and long enough to get a good amount of product on there and only needs a few strokes to cover my whole nail. It has a normal price for drugstore nail polish; $3. It chips if you put it though a lot of wear and tear like I do. My issue with this product is that it stains your nails. I know most nail polishes do that if you leave them on long enough and they are darkish colors but I hoped it wouldn't. I love Sally Hansen's Xtreme Wear nail polishes and this one is one of my winter favorites. Goes great with a light coat of Rockstar Pink sparkles.

I love the color of this polish. Its a deep rich blue. The only thing I dont like was that it was very thin and showed every ridge and imperfection of my nails.This seemed to dry pretty quick and I would buy this again

This is a very nice grab-attention kind of blue. The pictures somebody uploaded is a pretty good representation. It is lighter than navy blue. I only needed one coat to get opaque, and the finish is very shiny.

I am on day 2, and I already have a big chip on my thumb nail. The brush is too long and too flexible, which makes it difficult to control.

Beautiful blue polish. Depending on the light, the colour ranges from bright royal blue to a rich navy blue. Has a nice shine to it. Goes on very smoothly and easily and only one coat provided beautiful opaque coverage. With 2 coats of top coat, I'm on day 6 and have only had to touch up one chip. Otherwise it looks like I just did my nails.

I applied a single coat of the Blue It first (over a coat of Nail Envy) and then added a vertical stipe of Nicole by Opi in Twist of Fate (a gold glitter polish) on one side of the nail. I protected that with 2 coats of top coat.

I've never had so many compliments on my nails in my life !!

I added a few pictures but they don't do it justice.

The one chip that I had to touch up on day 6 repaired very easily and only I know it's there. I usually find repairs very difficult.

My only negative point is that if you mess up and get some on your skin it does take some time and skill to remove the mistake without wrecking the polish job. Any tiny slip will show on the skin because of the dark colour but that would be the case with any dark shade.

This polish is amazing! I love how pigmented it is and how easy it is to apply -- I only needed one coat. The colour reminds me of Wonder Woman blue. The only downside I've had so far are two air bubbles when I painted my fingernails, but that isn't so bad.

This is my favorite blue nail polish!
It's the most simplest just classic deep blue color and it's so gorgeous, I wear it so much that I have used about 2 bottles of it already.
definetly a nail polish worth checking out!

I'm mostly an OPI gal and not a fan of drugstore brand polishes...mainly because, I couldn't find a polish that suits my standards: long lasting, won't chip easily and easy to apply type of brush. But all that changed because of this product!

I'm watching L.A. Ink, and saw Kat Von D's nail polish. I ran out and look for one that is similar to it. And found Sally Hansen Insta Dry in *** (forgot the name)...but I also found the same shade for half the price. So I grabbed this XTREME WEAR instead.

I didn't regret it! I love the color. Nice shade of dark blue. Rock punk color and never go wrong matching with my style of clothes.

I minus a star because the brush is a bit harder to use than OPI brushes. But I got use to it and bought a couple more Xtreme Wear in different colors!

I love this polish! It stays really well and has a lovely deep blue color that isn't too dark but isn't too light either. I also love the shimmer, which adds even more to the depth of its color. I only used one layer so it's a touch lighter than bottle color, but with another layer it would have been exactly the color of the bottle (which is lighter than the picture here on MUA). Definitely can't beat the price, either.

A sad case of you get what you pay for.
My mom knew I had been looking for a good medium-dark blue nail color for the upcoming fall. She surprised me by bringing this polish home.
I was so so so excited to try it on my nails.
It seriously let me down.
This polish took much longer to dry than other Xtreme Wear colors I have, and on me, it seemed to not be fully dry after even 3 hours. It was still very goopy on my nail.
The color also stained my nails, which even without a base coat had never happened to me before with a non-red polish.
And when I finally thought that the color was dry, well, something awful happened.
There was a tiny speck of dust on my laptop (my WHITE laptop)'s body/case/whatever. I go to lightly flick it off.
BLUE STREAKS EVERWHERE. I want my nail to BE colored not to be a damn CRAYON.
So, goopy, streaky, staining, transferring.
You can definitely find a better blue drugstore polish.

It's a very shiny, pretty navy blue. The color payoff is pretty good, better than the other colors i've tried in this line.
It goes on smoother and doesn't streak like most of the other colors. I say this is the best, or one of the best polishes of the xtreme wear.

but it does chip like CRAZY. You can look at it wrong and half of it will chip off. It hardly lasts a normal day.

There's no winning.

The PERRRFECT cobalt blue!!! What I Iove about this color is that, unlike most polishes of this color, this is really pigmented!! I only need 2 coats and i get an extremely opaque bright cobalt blue! Top it off with a clear top coat and BAM! high glass shine!!

This is an AMAZING colour! It's a gorgeous vibrant cobalt blue. It POPS and you end up with the same colour as seen in the bottle. The colour doesn't fade however, it does tend to stain my nails a little (because I didn't wear a base coat) but, I don't really mind because I usually cover that up anyway. Basically, it lasts until you're tired of looking at it...lasted on me for at least a week with MINIMAL chips. The entire xtreme line is long lasting and vibrant.

I may have gotten a bad batch or something, but my friend and I both bought this exact polish and found that it started chipping after an hour or two.
