China Glaze Ride the Waves

   Ride the Waves is the other blue from the China Glaze Summer Neons collection for Summer 2012. 

   This is a deep/royal blue jelly polish.  The formula is pretty thin and tends to run.  You'll need to use thin coats.  Dry time was slow and the finish is a bit dull once it is dry.  Not quite matte, but not really shiny.  I used Finger Paints base coat, 2 coats of Ride the Waves, and Sally Hansen Insta Dri top coat on my middle and index fingers.  I also used 2 coats of Sally Hansen Insta Dri Whirlwind White on my ring and index fingers.

   As you can see, Ride the Waves is definitely brighter over white, but again is not a neon polish.  I think I prefer it on its own however.  I like the nice squishy feel of jellies.  I think the best use of this polish would be for a jelly sandwich.
