Pastel, Milky, Whitish Blue?

Today I have a very milky pastel baby blue polish (not sure what to call it actually) to show you. I love white polish as well as pastels so as soon as I saw this bottle, I fell in love with the colour.

Andreia is a brand from Portugal. My mum got me this one whilst on holiday over there last summer. Unfortunately their polishes have no names, only numbers but they have a nice and interesting range of colours.

The formula is quite thin and streaky on this one but nothing that can't be sorted with a couple of generous coats. Next time I would probably apply 3 coats just to smooth everything out better. I was also a little surprised to find out there's a tiny bit of blue shimmer in it (which isn't visible on the nail at all but never mind!) This is still a great polish for S/S.

    I love pastels too!
    My mom just got back from Italy and brought me a few polishes, and there's a light blue just like that among them! :D

  8. Sounds a little bit like a Barry M nail varnish I bought for someone today. Lovely pale blue colour with a hint of blue shimmer. I think it's called Blue Moon.

    1. Yeah I have that one too but haven't yet swatched it. You're right, Blue Moon seems to have more shimmer than Andreia No5. It also seems to be quite sheer. How did you find it?
