China Glaze Little Drummer Boy

"Come they told me, pa rum pum pum pum.."

I couldn't help it. That's what you get for naming a color after a Christmas song. I can't help but sing it. Since I was unable to hold off from posting my Xmas background to a more appropriate time (I know Nov 1 was early), I figured I would hold off on posting Xmas colors until after Thanksgiving. I somewhat contained myself. I LOVE this time of year. I'm excited they started up the 24/7 Christmas radio station. Despite the 80F degree weather and humidity.. I am in the Christmas spirit!

Little Drummer Boy

Little Drummer Boy is a deep navy/midnight blue shimmer. I wouldn't call this a true navy, it has like a touch of gray to it. This color is bold, but it has a softness to it as well. It has a coziness to it. Hopefully,  that makes any sense. I'm terrible at describing things!

I love dark blues. I think this one is great! I think this particular shade is very different from anything I have. I know this one doesn't scream "holidays", but it does remind me of a the night sky possibly on winter evening? There I go with my imagination again. That probably made no sense. This color just seems to suit winter to me. I'll stop there before I start talking about other wintery things or break out into another Christmas carol!

Happy Saturday!

  2. usually I'm not too much of shimmer finish, but this is a nice shade, it's not the -forget me- usual boring navy
    (I don't want to be misunderstood, of course I DO own more than a navy lol)

  6. I just knew I had to have this blue when I first saw it!

    But looking at it again, does this colour look very similar to Blk-Bilabong or is it just me?

  7. You should check out W&W Wild Shine in Blue Moon. A gorgeous deep blue (that doesn't look black) with a very subtle green shimmer. I put a coat of ChG's Fairy Dust over it and it looked just like an icy, winter, night sky (well, if you're far enough away from city lights to actually SEE stars).
