CHINA GLAZE Off Shore collection : Swatches and Review





Hi there, my darlings. I'm still REALLY sick but I really want to show you all my swatches and review of China Glaze's new Off Shore collection for Summer 2014! This is the first time I'm officially working with China Glaze as one of their bloggers AND this collection is composed of 12 shockingly bright neons, which I absolutely LOVE, so this post is doubly exciting! Today, I have for your 6 of those 12 neons and all I have to say is that if you love neons, you will flip for these! Without further ado, let's get right to those swatches, shall we? =)


Sun Upon My Skin is a bright yellow creme. This polish is a bit tricky, formula-wise, and requires a little bit of patience to apply. The first coat was a bit streaky and patchy but I waited til each coat dried completely to apply subsequent coats and by my third coat, it all leveled out quite nicely. The swatches below show 3 generous coats, topped with 1 coat of G&G's HK Girl top coat. It's been awhile since I've seen a yellow this bright and perfect--I can't wait to put this to use in some nail art looks I have in mind!






Be More Pacific is light lime green creme. The formula of this one was similar to Sun On My Skin above, but it also leveled out after the third coat. The swatches below show 3 generous coats, topped with 1 coat of G&G's HK Girl top coat.






Shore Enuff is a medium green creme. The application and formula on this polish was much better--I didn't have any trouble at all! The swatches below show 3 generous coats, topped with 1 coat of G&G's HK Girl top coat. Another fantastic, bright green for all you green lovers out there!






Float On is a bright neon pink creme. Again, no issues with either formula or application and the swatches below show 3 generous coats, topped with 1 coat of G&G's HK Girl top coat. Now, many shades of pink can be challenging with my complexion but I absolutely LOVE how this bright neon looks on me!






Dune Our Thing is a dark neon berry creme--I do believe this shade is very close to Pantone's Color of the Year, Radiant Orchid, don't you? Great application and formula--the swatches below show 3 generous coats, topped with 1 coat of G&G's HK Girl top coat but that was just out of habit. You could definitely slap on two coats and be done! This is hands-down my top pick of this collection! Such a vibrant shade!






X-Ta-Sea is dark neon eggplant purple creme. Fabulous application and formula--I had no issues at all. The swatches below show 3 generous coats, topped with 1 coat of G&G's HK Girl top coat but you could definitely get away with 2 coats with this one. LOVE this shade of purple! One of my faves in this collection!
