China Glaze Summer Days Summer 2009 Collection

Still not feeling too good, so this post will be a short one. Just wanted to share a couple swatches of this new collection.






Cherry Pie. Orangey red with glass fleck shimmer.




Grape Juice. Medium soft purple with silvery glass fleck shimmer.



Orange Marmalade. Bright orange with golden glass fleck shimmer.


Raspberry Festival. Pinky-red with dark pink toned glass fleck shimmer.



Strawberry Fields. Medium pink with golden glass fleck shimmer.



Watermelon Rind. Green with hints of blue and silvery glass fleck shimmer.


These are all three coats. They're all pretty sheer. They look okay with two coats, but I'm not comfortable being able to see through them, so I need three. Three coats does tend to ruin the jelly-sparkle effect of these polishes by making them look a little too dense, but they're still pretty.

The formula on these isn't the easiest to work with- it has 3-free syndrome. Thick but runny at the same time. Not horrible, but a bit frustrating if you aren't expecting it. These take a little more patience to apply, that's all.


They're all really sparkly and contain China Glaze's signature glass fleck shimmer. Glass fleck shimmer is really lovely, it lights up and dances in the sunlight. For those of you who are not familiar with glass fleck, comparable collections would be China Glaze's Surf and Tequila Toes collections, just to name a couple.

Sorry about the short review.
