\"\"<\/a>
\nSummer:<\/em> The time when we all go crazy and apply the most crazy and fun colors\u00a0on our nails.
\nThe time when people are absolutely\u00a0OK with you wearing bright neons and fresh colors.
\nI’m a little late with this, but China Glaze<\/em> decided to bring out some fresh, colourful, summer nail polishes!
\nHere it is, the China Glaze Island Escape Collection<\/strong>!
\n<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nChina Glaze<\/em> defnitely wasn’t messing around with these polishes.
\nWith a \u00a0color for everyone, you can choose between the most gorgeous pinks, oranges, even blues and greens!<\/p>\n

Mixed finishes from cr\u00e9mes to glass fleck sparkles, I won’t let you wait any longer.. Here are the swatches.<\/p>\n

Se\u00f1orita Bonita:<\/strong> a red-based purple with\u00a0a gorgeous hot pink and silver sheen mixed into it.
\nNow let me tell you, This polish was a horror to get on camera properly!
\nIn real life it was so nice and glittery, swimming in a red-purple base there was a beautiful hot pink sheen.
\nBut once the flash went on, they all turned silver!
\nHowever, a beautiful color and if you look closely at that outdoor shot, you can see (some) of the hot pink I’m talking about!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\n\"\"<\/a>
\n108 Degrees:<\/strong> Probably my favourite out of the bunch (note: I’m a sucker for glass fleck pinks).
\nBut again a horror to get on photo. It’s\u00a0an intense bright red-pink base with hot blue-pink glass fleck sparkles in it.
\nIt’s really, really stunning in real life. It just glows! And once it hits the sun the glitter party comes alive.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nPapaya Punch:<\/strong> Aaaah, Orange! I’m obsessed with oranges lately!
\na bright, glowing orange but just not bright enoug to call a neon.
\nIt’s definitely a good polish for the orange trend that is going on right now.
\nIf you’re not a fan of neons, you might really like this. It’s just a beautiful orange cr\u00e9me. Nothing more, nothing less.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nCha Cha Cha:<\/strong> Let’s just begin with: I am not a fan of green.
\nWhether it is eyeshadow, clothes, earrings… I just\u00a0do not like green.
\nSo for this one I’m just going to zip my lips and say nothing on whether I like it or not.
\nIt’s a bright grass-green base infused with gold\/yellow glass fleck sparkles.
\nI must say the sparkles in it are beautiful though!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nBlue Iguana:<\/strong> Let’s just say I’m a bit upset with Blue Iguana<\/em>..
\nOnce my package arrived and saw this gorgeous jewel laying there, It was love at first sight.
\na jaw-dropping bright blue, infused with even brighter blue-er sparkles in it… AND….
\nPURPLE DUOCHROME!! …However….Once applied it seemed like all purple got murdered!
\nIt’s still a beautiful color, don’t get me wrong! It’s just… the duochrome is so minimal,
\nI wish it\u00a0was just\u00a0little bit more present.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nElectric Pineapple:<\/strong> Now this was the hidden treasure of the collection for me!
\nAlong with the green, this didn’t make me ”Oeeeh & Aaah”<\/em> when seeing the bottle.
\nA soft,\u00a0light chartruese green\/yellow cr\u00e9me that just was ”m\u00e9h’<\/em>‘ to me..
\nHowever, once applied it was so clean, so fun, so cute,\u00a0I loved it!
\n(it does look a lot more yellow on photo than in real life)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nApplication on these were on some kinda annoying.
\nThey were runny, but once you waited to long they got really thick.
\nWhich is ok for me, But I can totally understand some people may hate that.<\/p>\n

I applied 3 layers<\/em> with every polish in this collection.
\nDrying time was pretty ok aswel.. But to make the glass fleck sparkles really pop definitely use a topcoat.<\/p>\n

China Glaze – Island Escape:<\/strong> a overal great collection,
\nwith some amazing sprakly polishes and some bright cr\u00e9mes.
\nan amazing\u00a0collection for color and glass fleck lovers out there, that are ok with a little thicker consistency.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
