Bel-Argus is a metallic blue nail polish that is part of the Summer 2013 Le Papillon collection. I still know very little nail polish jargon so I can’t fully describe it like expert nail bloggers can. All I know is it was a breeze to apply because it’s not as streaky as other metallics I own. Also, I like that it looks lighter and darker depending on lighting. In direct sunlight, it looks nothing short of amazing (see photos below). I would love to walk around with a daylight lamp iluminating on my hands all the time if I could.
It is fully opaque in 2 coats (although I did apply the first coat a bit thick in some fingers that I ended up just leaving it as is with just one coat). Topped with Essie Good to Go, this lasted almost a whole week with very minimal to almost no tipwear on me. I skipped the protein base coat I usually wear beneath because it interfered with application (the base coat was kind of goopy already).

FINAL THOUGHTS
At first, I didn’t think I would even like the color but Enzo picked it out for me and said it looks really nice so I gave in to buying it. But when I saw how it just sparkles like Edward Cullen in direct sunlight, my feelings have been slightly nudged. I began to like it and the longer I wore it on my hands, I grew to like it more.
I’m not a fan of blues actually but if I had to name a favorite blue, this would be a contender.
PS — I am well aware that this is overpriced expensive nail polish but I have passed above and beyond the point of rational and practical thinking! Here’s to crossing the bridge and never looking back!Did you find apk for android? You can find new Free Android Games and apps.
That’s a very pretty color, Shari. Although, yeah, expensive but I can see that the way you loved the polish and the color itself totally justified the purchase. 🙂

oh i like the color and how it sparkles a lot 🙂 ive always thought really expensive nail polish lines have the best shades / colors.
Omg, that’s absolutely gorgeous!!
If you feel like exploring more blues, try cobalt or royal blue. But it’s a pain to remove. Parang indelible ink.
It is a very nice color! i think it is okay to splurge once in a while on a special shade like that, as it is a very special shade ^^
This color is gorgeous- it was my second choice for buying a Chanel nail polish after Taboo!
