Get The Look – Jenna Ushkowitz in Glee

Where are my fellow Gleeks in the nail polish loving community? I’ve been obsessed with Glee ever since its premiere last Spring after American Idol. I’ve watched each episode multiple times and have downloaded all the songs on iTunes. I even got the boyfriend to watch. It may be time for an intervention.

You may remember that I wrote about the cast and their nails last May. Ever since, I’ve been trying to figure out what shade of blue Jenna Ushkowitz wears as Tina. Thanks to Glee’s Makeup Department Head, Eryn Krueger Mekash, I now know. Find out after the jump!


I’ve had a bit of a girl crush on Tina from the moment she belted out Katy Perry’s ‘I Kissed A Girl’ in the pilot episode. It’s a shame she doesn’t get more screen time or lead vocals because the girl has talent. I adore the juxtaposition of her punk rock look with her sweet, stuttering speaking voice and love of glee club. Though it’s her blue nails that made the polish fanatic in me take notice.According to Eryn, Jenna wears Essie Aruba Blue as part of her character’s look. Aruba Blue has long been a favorite of blue loving fanatics like myself and it seems to be a go-to shade for television and film. Who could forget Emily Blunt wearing it in The Devil Wears Prada? I know others have claimed that it was Chanel Blue Satin but that polish is too dark and wasn’t even created when the movie was filmed.

Aruba Blue is an electrifying blue shimmer. Rich with pigment it applies smooth and even in two coats.
Essie Aruba Blue retails for $8 and can be found at salons nationwide and online at e-tailers like Head2ToeBeauty.

    I think Aruba blue looks kind of dull in the bottle, but on the nails – WOW! It's my all time favorite blue!

    How close is it to ChG Frostbite? I'd love to see a comparison.
