ABC Challenge C is for China Glaze!

As you all know I have been participating in the ABC Challenge hosted by Kimber from Kimber's Lacquer Korner! For this challenge we are to show a polish name, brand or type of nail art that starts with the letter of the week. This week we are on the letter C. I guess I subconsciously wore a lot of China Glaze this week so I will show you a few shades that I wore. China Glaze is definitely one of my top 5 nail polish brands. I usually really love their seasonal collections and adore many of the shades in the permanent line. All right enough rambling, on to the pictures!

First up is Surreal Appeal from the Cirque du Soleil collection! This is a great pink leaning coral (which I have been obsessed with lately- the weather here is so summery!) 2 coats with top coat shown below

Next up is Peachy Keen, a great peach that I think is wonderful for spring! It was a bit streaky on the first coat but worked out fine with 3 thinner coats. I am a sucker for peach polish so of course I loved this. 

This is First Mate, an amazing navy creme. I think I may have found the navy creme of my dreams in this polish. It isn't too dark to the point where it looks black on the nail but it goes on well and no staining or streaking to be seen. This is two easy and delightful coats. 

The final look that I have is Def Defying (bright green creme) topped with Whirled Away a black and white glitter both from the Cirque du Soleil collection. I was totally impressed with Def Defying but I was really disappointed by Whirled Away. Hardly any glitter came out on my nail in a single coat and there was a lot of fishing around for glitter, especially the white hex glitter. Def Defying will definitely be making a repeat appearance, especially in the spring and summer! 

Whew! Hope you liked all the China Glaze spam! Be sure to check out all the other lovely ladies in the challenge! Which of these is your favorite? Surprisingly I think Def Defying might be my favorite of the 5.
