Balou é um esmalte azul oceânico com acabamento translúcido tipo gel. A sua fórmula gelatinosa translúcida permite a passagem de luz para um aspeto brilhante e em camadas, e o tom azul‑verde situa‑se na família dos azuis e verdes.
I was worried a sheer jelly would look streaky, but this one self-levels beautifully. The blue-green tone shifts a little depending on the light, and three thin coats give that glossy, almost glassy depth I was after.
Two coats give that squishy sheer look where you can still see a hint of your nail through it, which is exactly what I wanted from a jelly. The blue-green tone shifts a little depending on the light, more teal in the shade and bluer in sun. Drying time was fine too, no bubbling.
I've been layering this ocean blue polish and the jelly finish gives such a deep, glassy look that shifts between blue and green in different light. It's sheer enough to build slowly, which makes the color feel almost dimensional on the nails.
