China Glaze Cracked Concrete Over OPI DS Glow

This combination seems a bit odd but I like the way it came out.

China Glaze Cracked Concrete Over Zoya Marley

My first crackle polish! It is very easy to apply and I had a lot of fun applying it. I just can't imagine my life without crackle polish, at the moment!

China Glaze Starboard From The Anchors Away Collection

I love this nail polish. This is truly perfection. I love this perfect green, not too blue and not too yellow. The application was perfect in two coats. Love it!

China Glaze Ahoy! and China Glaze Strawberry Fields Comparison

Index and middle: China Glaze Strawberry Fields.

Ring and pinky: China Glaze Ahoy! 

China Glaze Strawberry Fields is a hot pink that looks more peachy due to the golden-orange shimmer that lays on top of the polish. On the other hand, China Glaze Ahoy! is more of a magenta hot pink with gold, pink and magenta shimmer incorporated in the jelly base. I do not like Strawberry Fields because of the peachy hue, but I am in love with vibrant Ahoy!.

China Glaze Ahoy!

Ahoy! has a raspberry pink jelly base with gold shimmer. It is such a happy and vibrant color. I love it! I had no problem with the application. This is three coats.

Ahoy! reminds me of China Glaze Strawberry Fields. I will do a comparison soon.

China Glaze Below Deck From The Anchors Away Collection 2011

This is purple, gray, mushroomy, beautiful, ugly beautiful, fabulous, decomposing kind of color. This is more suited for autumn, but feeling the pressure from you, the nail polish fanatics, for the return of beloved Chanelesque, China Glaze has decided to create a new version of it. I do not have Chanelesque, but according to some of the bloggers, they are pretty closed. This is two coats but it could have used only one.

China Glaze Midnight Mission

I swatched this nail polish a while back, but I didn't have the time to post it. But here I am with this amazing hue of denim blue. And as a bonus, it has a foil finish. Thank you China Glaze!

 

Hello everybody! I'm Tom. Do you remember me? Maybe, next time, I'm going to show you how to fish without catching anything.

China Glaze Tronica Specialty Collection for Spring 2011

Playing With Nova

Last time, I showed you my right hand. Today, I am going to show you, as usual, my left hand. It's harder to grow my nails on my right hand than on my left, so I always try to swatch on my left hand because my nails are longer.I used OPI La Paz-itively Hot Matte and China glaze Nova.

I used La Paz-itively Hot Matte and China Glaze Nova.

OPI and China Glaze Comparison

China Glaze Mummy May I on index and middle and OPI Merry Midnight on ring and pinky. They are almost dupes with slight differences. China Glaze has a jelly dark purple base with small fuchsia glitter while OPI has a purple violety base with multicolor, multidimension glitter particles. For China Glaze I used two coats and for OPI I used three coats. As I said in the previous post, the application for China Glaze was a little bit tricky, while for OPI, the application was flawless. On the nails, they look almost the same. So it is up to you to decide.

China Glaze Mummy May I From The Awakening Collection For Halloween 2010

Stunning! It has a dark purple jelly base with medium sized fuchsia glitter. It reminds me of OPI Merry Midnight, although OPI has mixed fuchsia, gold and orange glitter. The application was OK, but be careful because the formula is thick. This is two coats. I love this so much that I can't stop staring at my nails.

China Glaze Flying Dragon

What can I say that wasn't said about Flying Dragon! The person who created the color is a genius.

It is a neon purple with tiny blue and pink glitter. Being a neon, it dries matte. In the last picture, on the index and middle fingers I applied top coat.
