SWATCHES: China Glaze // Grass Is Lime Greener, Too Yacht Too Handle, Thistle Do Nicely

More China Glaze! I recently bought another 8 CG polishes off NailPolishDirect because I wanted to. Summer is here and I'm really into neons and I'm missing bright shades in my collection so I went for these 3!  (The other 5 are pink/peach surprise surprise...)

Grass Is Lime Greener // neon satin lime

Collection: City Flourish

Release: Spring 2014

Coats: 3

I love this shade. I read quite a few reviews on this particular shade and most complain about the streaks. I've found that applying on top of a white base reduces the need for 3 coats but without the base it's definitely streaky to start out with. This doesn't bother me as neon green is super hard to do so I think CG did a pretty good job. It dries really fast with a satin finish (like most neons). It kind of reminds me of tennis balls.

Too Yacht To Handle // light teal crelly

Collection: Sunsational

Release: Summer 2013

Coats: 2

This is a great summer shade that's ready in 2 coats with a beautiful  shiny finish thanks to it's creme/jelly finish. It's not quite neon but it's nice and bright and will do well in a gradient and mermaid nails.

Thistle Do Nicely // satin neon coral

Collection: City Flourish

Release: Spring 2014

Coats: 2

Another one from the City Flourish collection. I wish I knew of China Glaze back in the early 2010's as I love the entire collection. I think I've almost got all the shades now. At first I wasn't sure of I'd like this shade as it's too red/orange for my tastes but now it's on my hand I love it. I imagine this is what radioactive tomatoes would look like. It's so bright. No one will miss your hands with this bad boy applied. It was a bit tricky to use as the formula is thick and gloopy but it doesn't dry with streaks or lumps so it's all good.
