This is a medium-to-electric, very cool blue, so cool that in some lighting situations, it almost has an aquamarine kind of vibe. It's a jelly base filled with bright, sparkly blue micro glitter, and it's truly gorgeous. It works well with my very pale, cool-toned complexion, as well, and, happily, does not call undue attention to the visible blue veins in my hands (which a lot of blue polishes can do). Because of the jelly base, the first coat is thin and streaky. The second coat will even it out. If you want full, perfect opacity, you'll probably need three coats, or, as I prefer, wear two coats of this over a blue base (I like OPI Dating a Royal for that, but most medium blue will work). And, unlike most glitter polishes, this doesn't have a gritty surface, nor is difficult to remove. Bonus!This polish was originally part of a limited edition collection, "Wizard of Ooh Aaz" and for a while was impossible to find. Then the collection was re-released as "Wizard of Ooh Aaz Returns", but I still had a hard time finding this one. Recently (second quarter of 2013) I found it at one of my favourite online sellers and grabbed it, because it had been on my list of polishes to get for so long. Once I received it and tried it, I had to place another order to grab a second bottle as a backup in case China Glaze decides to make this gorgeous polish impossible to find again. That's how much I love this. (This polish is the blue cousin of the gorgeous red Ruby Slippers and the purple C-C-Courage, both from the same collection, though C-C-Courage isn't as sparkly.)Note that the current formula of the re-release is different from the original. As I haven't got the original, I can't say what differences there are between them, but if you Google around a bit, there are some "then and now" comparisons if you're interested.
