Surf Summer Comparison Shots
I dug through ALL of my polishes and came up with what I think are the best comparisons for the China Glaze Surf Summer colors. I was quite surprised to find that the majority of them are from China Glaze and Creative. I think it’s because the finish and formula of most OPI, Essie, Misa and Orly polishes are nothing like the jelly-like quality of China Glaze’s shimmer polishes.

Surf Summer from China Glaze
The waves are breaking and I’m ready for summer. Look what hit my doorstep this morning. The new Surf Summer collection from China Glaze. A well themed collection of brights with fun names. Unlike brights of the past, this collection is very wearable. There really is something for everyone.
These are preliminary shots that I snagged during a rare moment of Ohio sunshine. Be sure to check back for comparison shots. I’m all about the new but I’d hate for you all to be buying dupes.
China Glaze Summer 2007 – Surf Summer
Oh how I’ve been waiting to set my eyes on this collection. New from China Glaze, the Surf Summer collection. Top Row (l-to-r): White Kwik Silver, Yell-O-Neil, Blk-Billa-Bong
Bottow Row (l-to-r): Pink Rox-E, Orange Pacific, Red-Curl-Girl
China Glaze® Surf Summer 2007 Collection gleams with color stripped straight off the beach or the runway. Dazzling with real flecks of glass, these six, new summer-worthy shades add just the right amount of shine to fingers or toes whether or not you’re shedding some serious waves.
NOTD – China Glaze Eyes Like Sapphires
In honor of the Columbus Blue Jackets hockey team, I decided to go BLUE! I’m going to see them play the Detroit Red Wings tonight at Nationwide Arena and wanted to show my team support. Don’t tell the Blue Jackets but I’m really a Red Wings fan at heart.
So, I love the color and the silver micro-glitter but there’s something about the formula used in the We Adorn You collection that’s not working for me. I had this same problem with Soft Sienna Silks from this collection. It doesn’t apply as evenly as my other China Glaze polishes. And application, in addition to color range, is one of the things I love most about China Glaze.
Drinkin’ My Blues Away from the Spring ’06 Tequila Toes collection is very similar to this color. But, unlike Eyes Like Sapphires, it has that jelly, glaze-like consistency that I’ve come to know and love about China Glaze polishes. I also got some bubbling from this color and I don’t know if it’s my technique or the polish that caused it.
On a side note, it is freezing here in Ohio. The snow is coming down and I’m not looking forward to driving to Columbus this afternoon. In the middle of all this weather there’s me, outside with my camera taking pictures of my hands, trying to avoid getting snow on the lens. The lengths I go to for a good pic. I can only imagine what my neighbors think. I wonder if I’m the crazy neighbor lady that everyone talks about. Oh my, I hope that’s not me.
So, what’s on your nails today? Is it a keeper?
The Black Polish Trend
I wouldn’t be a true polish fanatic if I didn’t pay homage to the biggest trend to hit the polish world since Uma Thurman donned Chanel Vamp in Pulp Fiction. Chanel’s introduction of Black Satin caused a frenzy like I have never seen. The insane eBay prices, the story about Sarah Michelle Gellar stealing one from a party, the waiting lists at Chanel counters for a re-release, it’s madness. Pure madness. And with the release of Chanel’s new black for spring, Noir Ceramic, the craze continues.
