China Glaze Sunday Funday and Graffiti Glitter

PRESS SAMPLES


   How's everyone's week going?  Good I hope.  I'm in the middle of Semi-Annual Sale at work which is always one of our busiest times of the year.  So a fun bright blue is just what I need right now.



   Sunday Funday is a bright aqua creme from the Avant Garden collection.  Application was nice, but the formula was a bit runny.  
   Have any of you been having brush issues lately with China Glaze?  I've gotten several bottles lately, this one included, where my brush is kind of mop-like.  By that I mean the bristles are really fluffy and soft so they soak up a lot of extra polish and spread the polish out too much.  
   I used 2 coats of polish over Finger Paints base coat and no top coat in the following photos.

   Graffiti Glitter is an emerald green and black glitter mix from the Glitz collection.  The glitter mix is the same as the rest of the collection.  The formula was on the thinner side again.  For application I dabbed one thick line down the center of each nail and then brushed out to the edges to get desired coverage.  This is one coat over Sunday Funday and no top coat in the following photos.

China Glaze Aquadelic

   Continuing with the China Glaze ElectroPop collection for Spring 2012, today I'm bringing you Aquadelic.  This one is a bright turquoise/aqua creme.



   The formula and application were good.  I used 2 coats for full coverage, but if you're more careful than I am you can probably get away with just 1 thick coat.  In the below pictures I used Beauty Secrets Ridge Filler base coat and no top coat.  Aquadelic dries pretty much to bottle color.

   Aquadelic is not a neon, but it is very close.  I will definitely be pulling this one out for the summer for both fingers and toes.  It is a very bright, happy color that's perfect for a day at the beach.
