Hello lovelies & happy Sunday! A beautiful, sunny Sunday. It’s been feeling like Spring (most of) this week, so I thought something Spring-y on my nails would be perfect. & what is more Spring-y than a beautiful periwinkle blue?
Without further ado, this is Essie You Do Blue.
2 coats + top coat.
The formula on this creamy blue is smooth & easy to apply to the nail. I am quite a fan of the wider Essie brushes they’ve been using in the last few years. It took me a bit to get used to them, but they are much better when it comes to application.
My favourite part of this polish, though, is that is has this gorgeous fuchsia shimmer that really pops in the sunshine. It gives the extra dimension that makes it a little extra special, & for me that makes this shade a winner. I own a lot of blue nail polishes, but the ones that have shimmer or sparkle added — especially unexpected ones — are always the ones I reach for first!
This shade was originally released, as far as I can tell, during early 2020 as part of the Flying Solo collection. I think after that it made it to the core collection, but I did pick up mine on clearance for $1 so I’m thinking it may not be in regular circulation anymore — although the Essie website does have it listed as available for sale so I could be totally wrong.
Over all, I’m totally obsessed with this colour — it’s not just the pretty periwinkle blue, but that stunning shimmer. I adore it.
What do you think of Essie You Do Blue? Do you think this shade screams Spring as much as I do? Let me know all your thoughts in the comments below, & let me know your thoughts on this pretty blue shade!
Happy Sunday!

Coffee & Nail Polish 
Absolutely lovely, Shannon! I agree- perfect for spring, and I love that glow!!! Oh my!
May I ask you a question? I’m having issues with my nails at the moment and am looking for alternatives to try for removing nail polish. Do you use an acetone nail polish remover or something else? I believe it’s the acetone that’s causing it, as that’s the only thing that’s really changed in my routine in the last year/year and a half since this issue first started (aside from doing my nails -less- often than I used to). Thank you in advance for your wisdom! Your nails look so happy and healthy and I’d really like to achieve better nail/cuticle health!
Have a blessed day and week! 🩵💚🩷💛🤍
