This polish is simply perfection. It goes on smoothly, dries quickly, and the colour is absolutely gorgeous. I love the shimmery metallic-sparkle finish. It doesn't chip easily but comes off without a hassle when you want it. Usually I find painting my nails a tedious task, but now I don't mind it one bit. Be prepared for compliments, they are coming your way!

Blue It is a gorgeous blue shade, a bit darker than a bright royal blue but not dark enough to be considered navy. It has a lovely shimmery / slightly metallic finish -- if you look very closely, you can see tiny shimmers in a lighter blue color. But from a normal distance it just looks like a shimmery dark blue.

Like all of the Sally Hansen X-Treme Wear polishes I've tried, this also lasts for much longer than your average drugstore polish! On my toes, these polishes often last 3 weeks with no chips (just some grow-out if I leave the polish on that long); on my nails, they easily last through the work week and sometimes a full 7 days. I even use the clear color as my topcoat!

This is one of the best nail polishes I've ever tried. I'm definitely going to be buying more from this brand. The blue color is beautiful, it goes on great, feels very silky. One little problem: it doesn't dry fast enough. I feel like one little nick will make the whole nail smear. Oh well...thats something I'm willing to overlook!

This is such a beautiful med. blue, I love it! Pretty and shiny.
I recently wore it to my new job and got complimented on the color by my boss.

Once it's dried you can see it's got some deep shimmer to it, not glittery -just a pretty shimmer to it.

I didn't keep it on for very long as I wanted to try something else out, so I can't comment on it's durability, yet. It seemed to dry quickly and didn't take more than two coats for a nice, opaque finish.

Definitely my favorite cobalt blue color.:)

I purchased a mini assortment of Xtreme Wear polishes from the drugstore and Blue It was one of the polishes that came with it. I wasn't crazy about it until I actually put it on. It is an absolutely BEAUTIFUL shade of blue... shimmery and dimensional. The color is so deep and looks so much better on the nail than in the bottle. The price is SO budget-friendly, too! Blue It is definitely a must-have!

My love for this nail polish is probably illegal in all 50 states, but that's really too bad, because nothing can tear us apart. It's cheap, it goes on easy, it's a wonderful deep, saturated blue with a hint of shimmer. Try it and tell me you don't share my crush.

for a while i was on a no nail polish buy, but when i saw this and tried it on in store i knew i just HAD to get it. its such a beautiful royal blue with slight shimmer. absolutely gorgeous. it also goes on really smoothly without drying too quickly (i've had that problem with the insta-dri) it lasts about a week, maybe less depending on what you do. the lasting ability would be about average but for only a few dollars (maybe even just $1 if you catch it on a sale) this is an excellent nail polish

i am loving this polish! the color is perfect, it dries quickly, remarkable staying power...my favorite find in while!


2 coats got me the exact bottle color, and i was able to apply the second coat immediately. this is a great blue--opaque, slightly metallic-y with no shimmer. im sometimes a little apprehensive about such vibrant colors, especially at the office, but this one manages to be fun, yet not garishly unprofessional. the formula is equal to or better than opi in my opinion. so far, ive gotten to day 4 with hardly any chipping, and this is with no top coat. again, love it!

Gorgeous color! Thick, sturdy brush and the right price, I love Sally for the intensity of color but will sadly have to stop using, the fumes are too strong for me (some hypersensitivity) and I will def. miss this deep, flirty, candy-shell blue.

So bright! So blue! So cheap! Bottle color in two coats, and under $3. The formula's average, but you can't beat the combination of color and price. (It's really similar to Honda's Fiji Blue Pearl shade.)

One of my favorite polishes is Essie's Aruba Blue, and this is a dead ringer. It's a medium-deep metallic marine blue. It's on sale at Walgreens right now for $1. Also, the brush is wide! Yeee-ha.
