Green Nail Polish Comparisons

I wasn't a fan of green nail polish until recently.. I never thought that I would end up with six different green shades! See below:

China Glaze- Pool Party

This week I have been on vacation, so I was finally able to wear the extremely work inappropriate, but much anticipated, POOL PARTY!  Do I even need to say anything? This nail polish is pretty much amazing.  As a neon, it was extremely transparent, so I put a coat of white nail polish underneath to really make the color pop.  This color is actually what I was hoping flip flop fantasy would be.. a neon orange-y coral color.  The formula was actually really good for a neon, a two coater for full opacity as long as you have 1 coat of white nail polish underneath.  Like most neons, it dried with a matte finish, nothing that a little bit of Seche Vite couldn't fix.  The only downside was that it chipped on the second day :( Anyway... onto the pictures!  All pictures show 2 coats of Pool Party over 1 coat of China Glaze- White on White, with two coats of seche vite.

It glows!

China Glaze- Immortal

This was another polish that I had been wanting to try out for a while.  I'm a huge fan of gray polishes, and immortal is no exception! Immortal is a darkish gray with the slightest hint of multi colored sparkles. The formula is AMAZING.  Super pigmented and definitely a one coater.  Pictures below show two coats of immortal+ 1 coat of seche vite.  Enjoy!

China Glaze- Blonde Bombshell

Happy Sunday! The weather is crazy here and I'm loving every second of it.  It's in the 60s in mid January! I wish that it would stay this way all winter.  I always say that it is only allowed to snow one day per year! ;P Anyway, here I am again to introduce you to one of my all time favorite polishes, the ultimate party polish, China Glaze- Blonde Bombshell.

Believe it or not, this is a one coater! I used two coats for the photos below.  Application was very easy and effortless.  It applies evenly on the first coat.  The polish is very forgiving, especially for being a glitter polish.  Removal is really not bad, and very easy for a glitter polish.  Onto the pictures below.  All pictures show two coats of polish+ 1 topcoat of seche vite.

China Glaze- Yellow Polka Dot Bikini

It wasn't until recently that I became obsessed with nail polish.  In early October, I got a manicure, and something inside of me changed.  That sounds very dramatic, but I began reading nail polish blogs and was intrigued by all of the swatches.  Nail polish is like a cheap accessory that can be changed every day! It's a lot less expensive than handbags or shoes, that's for sure! I currently own 76 different nail polishes.  My favorite brand is OPI.  The formula is perfection, and a wide range of colors are available.  Essie and China Glaze are close seconds, but I think Essie comes out on top.  No doubt about it, China Glaze has the most amazing colors, but the formula in Essie wins out. Zoya is a distant 4th.

 One of my favorite nail polishes to wear any time of year is China Glaze- Yellow Polka Dot Bikini:
