Nice opacity, nice formula and nice finish. This one came out a little strange on my pinky but I think that’s all me and nothing about the polish. ![]() I find them very easy to work with and the mattes always looks so velvety and smooth. I really like China Glaze mattes and this is no different. This is dark orange creme with a matte finish. I think it is just the colour and opacity that puts me off. This is another one that is a least favourite. Even though it applied nicely I am not a fan of how sheer it is. Not only does my camera hate this shade but I am not a fan either. This is supposed to be more pink toned coral. Honestly, it’s gorgeous either way and the shimmer is a nice addition. Even though I love the matte finish I think the shimmer really shines with topcoat. It’s a bright purple that gets a bit lost in photos but it is really gorgeous. This is a neon purple with a subtle shimmer but it does dry matte. There’s nothing really wrong with it except for the sheerness but it’s not my favourite of this collection. I like the colour but I am not sure if I like this polish. It applies nicely but it is also quite sheer. This is a neon orange with a typical neon matte-ish finish. I’ve used it before in some nail art and I just love how bright it is even though it looks a bit darker. ![]() It has a typical jelly opacity and I really love this one. This is a blue jelly with a really nice formula. I have to stop myself from reaching for it all the time. ![]() It is a magenta rosy shimmer with a beautiful formula and opacity. I have swatched this before here and this is another favourite for me. I had a little bit of staining on my skin when I removed it so be careful with which way you swipe when you remove it. The shimmer in this really pops and the formula is really nice and opaque. This is a blue shimmer and is just soooooooo gorgeous. It is also a bit brush strokey but I actually really love how the gold looks so they bother me even less here than they did on chroma cool. This is a gold metallic chrome and is the gold version of chroma cool. Here it is with topcoat and I think it is even brighter. It could probably use a third coat as there is a slight bit if vnl but honestly the brightness distracts from it. This has a neon type of finish so it is an almost matte. It is also very opaque and you could get away with one coat. ![]() I love this shade of green and this formula is great. It is a green creme and one of my favourites. I know silver polishes are everywhere – and I have many – but this is a goodie too. It’s a really pretty silver though and there are ways around the brush strokes so it’s not really a big deal. This is a silver metallic chrome and it is quite brush strokey. I suspect this might be a good candidate for Tuesday Stamping. This is beautiful though and has a nice formula and opacity. If you have other comparison you want to see involving this let me know. I really love this colour but the more I look at it the more familiar it looks. I have swatched this one before here and did a comparison here. When I swatched the Shades of Paradise collection I realised I really had to do the previous summer collection so here we go. This is the summer of 2017 collection (US summer not our summer). I am back at swatching a few of the older China Glaze collections. Also, Happy August! Can you even believe? I am considering doing the 31 day challenge this year but the closer the gets the more nervous I get. I can only hope it’s just another blink and we will be weekending. How is your week going so far? Mine has been fairly busy so it means we’ve gotten to Wednesday in a blink of an eye.
