China Glaze Summer
Two of the polishes that I will be showing all of you are from their Shades of Paradise collection; Mer-Made For Bluer Waters and Boujee Board. The other polish is from their Flashback OMG Holographic collection called DV8.
China Glaze- Mer-Made For Bluer Waters
First we will be taking a look at Mer-Made For Bluer Waters from the Shades of Paradise Collection. This is a shimmer ocean blue polish with a shift of dark and a lighter blue. This polish covered in three coats, it was sheer on the first coat but was fully opaque in three coats, but shimmer polishes ares usually more sheer anyways that way you can see the shimmer. Also the formula seem runny/ drippy and the brush seem to hold a lot of polish, so be careful when polishing this color on your nails.
I really liked this polish it looked very pretty and went on well for a more sheer formula.

This polish I purchased at Sally beauty
China Glaze- Boujee Board
Next we have Boujee Board another polish from the Shades of Paradise Collection, this is a purple magenta polish that has a velvet matte finish. I did apply a top coat for the photos above that is why the polish looks shinny.
This polish took three coat to be opaque, due to it being a velvet matte finish, I felt like it dried very fast when applying the polish, so it might be best to polish fast with this type of polish, which I am kind of slow at polishing. In my photo the polish looks kind of pink and purple, but on the actual nail it looked purple. Also in the photos the polish looked kind of patchy, some spots look light some look dark, I am not sure if this happened because I made this matte polish glossy.
This polish I did like the color, but I did not like the velvet matte finish. I don't mind matte polishes I just prefer them to be glossy on application and then make them matte with a matte topcoat.
Revlon Holographic pearls topcoat,
the topcoat I ended up putting over Boujee Board.
Also this polish did have a small bit of chipping the next day which was easy to fix, I also ended up adding a holographic top coat over this polish, which helped the wear and to cover up the patchy parts. When I went to remove this polish at the end of the week it also stained my nails a pinkish color.
Here is Boujee Board with the velvet matte finish on a white and a black background.

Also China Glaze has a set of mini polishes with six of the polishes in mini form (this Shades of Paradise collection has 12 polishes in the collection.) I did purcahse the set of minis and I went to polish them on my nails and most of them applied very bad. I applied three coat for the velvet matte and they didn't look good even with three coats. I did ended up returning the set just because I felt like the quality was not that good and the fact that they applied so bad for me. I did only like two of the colors from that set, so I picked up two of the larger polishes, and really after I applied them both the one I liked the best was Mer-Made For Bluer Waters.
I also purchased this polish from Sally Beauty
Flashback OMG Holographic collection- DV8.
Lastly we have DV8 from the Flashback OMG Holographic collection. This is a blue linear holographic polish.
It was opaque in two coats, the first coat went on very weird for me, it was like the polish wanted to move around and leave patches with no polish on the nail. The secound coat was okay, I could just see the brush strokes on the nail, which again was very weird. I have a lot of holographic nail polish that apply great, but this applying horrible. In the photos and on the nail after two coat it looked pretty if you didn't really pay attention to the brush strokes.

Here is a photo of my right thumb nail where I was able to capture the brush strokes, where you can see lines on the nail from the brush.
This polish disappointed me so much! As you may know I love holo polishes, but the formula was so bad on this, that I will be returning this polish back to the store. Most/ all of the holo polishes that I have apply great and wear great too. The biggest disappointment of all was the very next day this polish chipped very bad, and I was able to just peel off this polish as well.
In conclusion I was kind of disappointed with these polishes, out of all three I only like one Mer-Made For Bluer Waters. I usually like all of the polishes that I purchase and worst of all the polish finish I love holo was the worst one. Honestly after purchasing these polishes I don't think I will be buying any more China Glaze polishes, which makes me feel sad because they do have some pretty polishes, I just can't get them to wear well on me and apply well.
Hope you enjoyed this review even though it was not that great.
See you next time for more nail fun!
