With my crazy collection of nail polishes, I've only got one thing to say
Gotta swatch them all! :D
The colors here are mostly China Glaze, which I love for their good formula.
There is minimal staining and they're usually opaque in 2 coats
Have to thank Levon for introducing this brand to me ;p.
I've tried to capture the colors as accurately as possible,
as well as provide some feedback regarding the consistency of the polishes.
Hope it will be useful to those who wants to purchase!
China Glaze Igniting Love
1 regular coat, with slight staining upon removal.
A true red
China Glaze Merry Berry
2 regular coats, with slight staining upon removal
A cool-toned wine red.
Color Club A Warm Place
1 thin coat, with staining upon removal.
I used a thin coat here, because Color Club's consistency is more watery than China Glaze's
A cool-toned crimson red.
China Glaze Peachy Keen
2 thin coats, slightly streaky on first coat, but evened out after.
A slightly neon toned peach creme.
China Glaze Breakin
3 thin coats, streaky so you have to use careful coats.
Bright orange with slight shimmer.
Essence Little Miss Sunshine
2 regular coats, slightly streaky but evens out.
Marigold yellow creme,
Essence is a super affordable brand, its polishes are available at Watsons for $3?!
China Glaze Happy Go Lucky
2 thick coats, very streaky so apply carefully (most yellows commonly are stubborn like that)
Bright yellow creme.
China Glaze Lemon Fizz
2 thick coats to opacity, but I needed a 3rd coat to even it out. Very streaky.
Pastel yellow creme
China Glaze Four Leaf Clover
2 thin coats, slightly watery
Emerald Green.
China Glaze Exotic Encounters
2 thin coats, slightly more watery consistency than usual but still easy to manage if you use thin coats.
Camo green.
Essie First Timer
2 thin coats due to slightly watery consistency (that's normal for Essie polishes)
Dark Pistachio Green.
China Glaze Aquadelic
2 thin coats due to slightly watery consistency
Blue toned turquoise
Here's a comparison of First Timer and Aquadelic
First Timer on the index and middle, Aquadelic on the ring and pinky.
OPI Gargantuan Green Grape
3 thin coats due to slightly watery consistency. Streaky on first coat but evened out.
Light apple green.
China Glaze For Audrey
2 regular coats, slightly streaky on first coat but evened out.
Dusty dark turquoise
2 regular coats, but you need to work fast due to its matte formula
Visible brushstrokes may be seen, so if you hope for a smooth matte look, use a topcoat first, then a matte top coat.
Metallic sea green with slight shimmer
With top coat / Matte top coat
China Glaze Grass is Lime Greener
3 thin coats, slightly streaky but evened out in the end.
Work fast as it has a matte finish.
Neon lime green
Essie Fashion Playground
3 thin coats, slightly streaky during first coat, but evened out.
Mint with slight shimmer.
China Glaze Re-Fresh Mint
3 thin coats, slightly streaky during first coat, but evened out.
China Glaze Kinetic Candy
2 regular coats, slightly streaky during first coat, but evened out.
Sky blue.
Comparison of Re-Fresh Mint and Kinetic Candy
Re-Fresh Mint on index and middle, and Kinetic Candy on ring and pinky.
When you put them side by side you can see the green tinge of Re-Fresh Mint.
I'm not even halfway done with the collection! :x
