China Glaze Love's A Beach

This bright pink is from China Glaze's Summer Neon Collection.  It is a great, pop of neon pink.  I am not sure if you can see in the last picture some of the micro shimmer that gives this color some depth over a flat neon.  Application is great and same with opacity.  I have it shown here in three coats.

China Glaze Liquid Crystal

From their Prismatic Collection, this color is a pastel blue base with multi-sized glitter.  All colors from this collection are intended to have a duo-chrome finish.  You can mildly see the varying shades of purple, green and pink in some of the pictures--especially the bottle shots, but it is very subtle once on the nail and dry (as I found with all the colors in this collection).  They are very pretty and as for sparkle polish this color is decently opaque.  I am showing it in three coats.  On the nail, this color looks very similar to Prism.

China Glaze Luxe And Lush

Yay for China Glaze's Capitol Colors Collection for having a flakie.  This color represents District 1, Luxury (and the district I was sorted into online).  It's a good multi-colored flakie that brings out several colors, it's not just two-toned.  It does however have a kind of hazy finish or at least the base color is not crystal clear.  I found it to be a bit muddy.  However, a nice, shiny top coat should bring out some of the sparkle in the flakes.  I'm not showing it with a top coat, maybe you can pick up on some of that cloudiness if you enlarge the pictures.  I have painted three coats over China Glaze Liquid Leather.

China Glaze Liquid Leather

A staple in the China Glaze line, Liquid Leather is black.  Obvs.  It has pretty good application.  For me a bit streaky, but at three coats--all good.  This is what that looks like:

China Glaze Loft-y Ambitions

A plum with a shimmer from China Glaze's Metro Collection. This color seems frosty to me based on the bluish undertones and they way it picked up light, but it's not really a frost color. I like it because it does take on different tonal qualities depending on the light. I can only show it under lamp lights, but they are pretty. I have painted three coats.

Orly Luxe

This is from Orly's Foil FX Collection. It is supposed to have a foil-type finish. It is a great gold that has a lot of shimmer and does have a decent foil quality. I like to use it for Konad or Bundle Monster. It has good application but you must beware of creating bald spots if you continue to paint over in the same spots. I have painted three coats for this post.

China Glaze Lemon Fizz

Yellow! I really like this pale yellow from China Glaze's Up and Away Collection. It's a great yellow creme that has very good application. Most yellows have a hard time with opaqueness, but this one does a stellar job. I'm showing three coats of polish in these photos. Unfortunately the best photo I had focused on the nail polish name and not the nail polish, but you get the color idea.

Zoya Lisa

Want a great red with a kick? This is it. Lisa is a fantastic almost foil finish red that I don't know how I ever lived without. So pretty. From the Flame Collection, application is great and I'm showing Lisa off in three coats. She is so hard to capture in photos, but trust me--its a fabulous sparkler.

China Glaze L8R G8R


This is from the China Glaze OMG Collection. It's a great light green holo. Here it is shown in three coats and it is fully opaque.

Sally Hansen HD Hi-Definition Nail Color Lite

I was drawn to this color and a bargain when purchasing this color. I like this color OK. The application was moderate. It was not fully opaque to my liking at three coats and took a longer time to dry compared to my other nail polishes. But it is bright and it does attract attention.
