A very lovely friend sent Blue Boy to me so I had to do a full mani with it straight away. And I love it! Thanks so much A! ♥ Blue Boy is like a great pair of jeans. Dusty grey-based medium blue. Great formula, two medium coats for opacity.
I type. A LOT. So I have tip wear pretty much immediately - even when I wrap the tips. With most polishes, it's not that bad and I can go a day without it bothering me TOO much. Some, like RBL No More War, wear so badly that 3 hours later I'm itching to change it out.
So how did Chanel Blue Boy do? My long-time readers know that I think Chanel is "hit and miss" as far as formula. Some are outstanding and some I didn't care for at all. So much so that I gifted them or swapped them away. But I have to give it to them...when they're good, they're VERY good.
I'm into the third day and it's actually great! I did not wrap the tips and these photos are with 2 coats of color and one coat of Poshe top coat.

So there you have it. As you can see, there is tip wear. But it's really not very noticeable. Especially when it's not a close-up camera shot. I'm very very pleased. Granted, I didn't do a lot. But I did the normal dishes, taking care of the dogs (and a new puppy,) light laundry, etc. No bathroom scrubbing. Saving that awful stuff until Monday morning. (Unless someone wants to come do it for me *grin*)
If you enjoyed this post, please take a second to "like" it! Thanks!

That is amazing wear for 3 days!! And I absolutely love that shade of blue on you! ♥
ReplyDeleteThis looks amazing on you as always. This was my first complete set of Chanel to match my Dior's love these three
ReplyDeleteThat's impressive! :) A beautiful color!
ReplyDeleteI am not a big Chanel polish fan due to the cost. But I love this shade. I am always looking for another one in this hue to better ones I have.
ReplyDeleteBTW - nice friend to have sent it to you - ask if they want to send out another bottle to me!!!
Deletereally nice shade of blue, I really like this one. I'm about the same way - tip damage same day, lots of typing, housework, etc. I recently tried out Julep Eva and Renee for a review and they lasted about 3 days, also! Day 4 I had major chipping, but day 3 was fantastic :)
ReplyDeleteNew puppy??? I wanna see!! :)
ReplyDeleteI have a couple favorite shades I love too much to give up, all vamps, that don't hold up well to tip wear. I save them for when it's time to file down. I just file the tip wear off at night and run the brush along the edge only. I gives me a couple days wear and since I'm not fond of filing either, it makes that less of a chore too.
