Below Deck

December 16, 2011

Hello everyone! It's been a while. I'm happy to say that I'm done with four out of my five final exams for the semester! My next isn't until Monday, so I snuck on here to do a quick post for you!

I don't own too many China Glaze nail polishes, just because I'm a big fan of the OPI formulation. I never have any issues with OPI, so I never decided to venture into other polish brands. But some of the colours offered by China Glaze are just so beautiful, so I've had a couple bottles in my posession that I've finally decided to try.



Below Deck is from the Anchor's Away collection released early this year. The nautical themed collection has a great assortment of colours, and I have a couple more that I will swatch soon :)



Below Deck is a grey mauve colour. It's almost like a mix of violet and a dark taupe tone together, to give a dusty looking purple. I never pulled this out to use until now, because it's a great darker shade for fall & winter.



The formula of the polish is fantastic, highly pigmented, and achieves full opacity at two coats. The only issue I have with China Glaze itself with shape of the brush. It's longer and slimmer than the traditional OPI Pro-wide brush that I'm used to. I had some major messy cuticles to clean up! I never make a mess with OPI, so having to adjust to the brush might prove to be a little problem.



The polish dries quickly and to a nice shine. Love it!

And just a reminder! The Tutti Frutti giveaway is still open, so don't forget to enter!

  1. I love CG's colours but am not the biggest fan of their formula. Sounds like this one was okay though... the Anchors Away collection was one of my faves.

  3. Another fab nail polish color!I see you are a nail polish- aholic, just like me!!!=D

    And it dries fast? i already like the sounds of that!

    I actually bought a Crackle nail polish from China Glaze but it was soo bad! The nail polish turned gloopy and thick really fast, like after using it for a month or something.
