Anchors Away

There's always a massive hype around nail polish collections from China Glaze, Opi and Essie, normally there may be a colour which I want, however 9/10 I never bother with collections. However earier this year when China Glaze released their Anchors Away collection, each and every colour appealed to me. However acting like Captain Sensible I decided to buy one colour- which could be worn for work/nights out.

Below Deck


This reminds me of a more purple version of Barry M's Dusky Mauve or Models Own Purple Grey. However as I don't normally wear purple polishes I'm still in two minds over this. I think this will definately be a grower on me.


Like all China Glaze polishes one coat is more than enough to get even coverage, however in the photos above I used two. With my CG Naughty and Nice polish the colour lasts a good 3-4 days without chipping, this however lasted an entire 2 hours when this happened...

Epic fail

In totally this polished lasted about 6 hours as it constantly just chipped away. Very disapointing for a China Glaze polish. Luckily I got mine half price in my local Sally's for £2.99. I'll get JEM to do a dupe post for you, however I wouldn't recommend buying this polish :(

Naughty or Nice or a bit of both?? NOTD

It has finally been found....

the PERFECT dark berry red nail polish...

Let me introduce to you... China Glaze Naughty and Nice..

Picture from www.youvegotnail.com
I couldn't get a good enough picture of the bottle, it looks a bit like benetint.


I managed to find this colour from my local branch of Saski (like Sallys), unfortuately the girl who I asked to help me find a dark berry nail polish only had the ability to pick out pillar box red nail polishes... maybe she was colourblind??

I think I may now be a china glaze convert- £5.99 for a bottle and as of today I've had this polish on for 10 days (two coats) and there is some minor tipware and thats it. However I have noticed since having my extensions on colours have been lasting ages... so that needs to be taken into consideration.

Its love.
