Wet n Wild in "Blue Moon / Ciel de Nuit"

Hello everyone! I'd like to start by saying that I'm pretty sure this polish's proper name is just "Blue Moon". However, if the second part is indeed meant to be a French translation, then it's wrong! Ciel de nuit means "night sky". Wouldn't "blue moon" in French be "la lune bleue"? I apologize if I'm wrong -- 3 years of learning French have not taught me much. I'll refer to it simply as "Blue Moon" to minimize confusion and the unnecessary addition of words.

Anyways. If I had to guess when this polish dates back to, I'd guess mid-to-late 2000s. It really sucks that I'm unfamiliar with the time periods in which my nail polishes came out. Of course I can try to figure it out from the bottle's style, the quality of the polish (gloppy/thin/etc), the wear to the bottle, or just by looking it up. The only polishes that are carefully documented on the Internet seem to be OPI and Essie (I found a whole web page dedicated to recording when each OPI collection came out). So often times information on smaller/cheaper brands, such as Wet n Wild in this case, is not readily available. It's quite sad, honestly. I gotta stop rambling!

So anyways, "Blue Moon" is a pretty navy blue color with a teal/green shimmer to it. I do own other dark blue polishes, but nothing like this! Here it is in 2 easy coats. (1 thick coat could definitely work also!)
You can't really tell from the picture, but this has some depth to it. It reminds me of being underwater in a dark lake. That sounds kinda scary, but I mean it in the nicest way possible. It's kind of magical, really.

So, I think I'm gonna wrap it up here. I realized that I've been posting basically every day now, but you know what? I like doing it! It's fun, and somehow very therapeutic. I feel like I can talk about what I love (that being nail polish, of course) without annoying or boring anyone. Anyways... bye for now!
