China GlazeNail Polish, Pearl Jammin' 1480

Love love love the color!!

I ordered 4 different colors but Kill the Lights is the first one I used. I was very happy when it arrived 3 days ahead of schedule. Packaging was done greatly. Now for the product. When first looking at the bottle I thought this might be a little boring. Then when applying I thought, "this is very thin, watery like." HOWEVER I think the consistency is what ends up making the flawless appearance. I did 2 coats back to back. I was shocked by how great my nails looked. Some brushes for applying nail polish are very thin and some are super fat/wide. This brush was perfect. Not to thin and not to wide. As for the color, this wasn't boring at all. Very classy. I will be buying this one again and again.I do recommend (no matter the brand of nail polish you use) to get some cutical oil or any essential oil for use on skin. Once the nail has dried to the touch we all know it hasnt actually cured which is why we end up with gouges or go to bed and end up with creases in our polish. Apply the oil and it will help keep the polish looking perfect while it completely dries.

I have bought several china glaze recently and this Neon Orange Knockout is the perfect neon orange (especially when compared to China Glaze Home Sweet House Music, which isn't very neon and looks more yellow orange). Trying to get an accurate picture of the color wasn't working...it is actually a brighter, standout, 100% neon orange in person. (I did not add a top coat in photo and it is with 3 coats). Compared to other CG polishes this one seems to dry alot faster and is more of a matte style after drying.As for China Glaze as a brand...I used to think OPI was best brand but when looking for a cheaper but good quality polish, China Glaze is great! Overall, when comparing CG to OPI, I think they are pretty close in quality and how long they last before chipping, except I have noticed that most of CG are little less opaque and require extra coat than it usually takes most of the OPI colors. I will also say that I wish they had a little bit of a thicker brush or that it was a flatter brush rather than rounded. Overall, I'm falling in love with CG as good priced alternative!!

For the past 21 years, I have had my nails done at the salon. Started with Acrylic then the last year I switched to Gel, and then doing the Gel at home by myself. Almost 2 years ago, I took it all off and am just letting my natural nails heal and grow. I finally have long nails again and wanted to start painting them. Amazon has everything, so why not shop nail polish?!I've used China Glaze before and have never had any issues with it. Until now. And it's not a huge issue, but for me, it's an issue.I bought this purple "Creative Fantasy" because I love purple. And this looked <in the descriptions' photo> exactly like the color of my Dodge Charger, so I had to get it! I wasn't sure if it was going to be a Matte or Shiny, because of the photo.I got my polish yesterday and today I did my nails. I took photos so you could see what the polish looks like after each layer.So here goes...before I start, I have to say it was hard taking photos that showed what it truly looked like. And...the clear shiny stuff on my cuticles is that stuff you paint on to keep the polish off of the skin.<I really stink at applying nail polish!> I also applied a layer of clear base coat. <I don't want my nails turning purple!!>This is what i used...https://smile.amazon.com/PUEEN-Cuticle-Barrier-Protector-BH000584/dp/B016LIABMQ/ref=sr_1_3_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1508195189&sr=8-3&keywords=latex+nail+polish+barrierThe 1st two photos show the first layer of polish on both hands. You can see it's super thin, and kind of matte looking.The next 2 photos show the 2nd layer of polish on both hands. Still hard to show how matte it really is...it's not a "true" matte - it just looks like there's a "film" on the polish....it's definitely not clear and shiny.Next 2 photos are with 3 layers. Yes, I had to apply 3 layers so there weren't any lines in my polish...see-through lines. This polish is not consistent.The next 2 photos show a clear glossy top coat. You can also see that I peeled off the skin barrier <in a little pink blob at the top of the photo.I took all of these photos inside, in my living room, with normal lighting. You can see how dark the polish looks. Not what I was looking for, but it's still a pretty, dark purple. I went outside in the sun, and took 2 more photos so you can see what it looks like outside. Those are the last 2 photos - you can see this is a VIVID purple.So, I had to apply a base coat, 3 layers of Creative Fantasy purple, and a clear glossy top coat. It took forever!!! I took 1 star away because it shouldn't be this hard to get the color of nail polish you thought you were getting...and it shouldn't take so long! Also, the fact that this is not a glossy nail polish...I'd say "Semi Gloss" at best. I don't like Matte nail polish...I don't know why - I just don't.I can't say if this chips, or how well or how long this will "wear" because I just applied it today <October 16>. But I will come back and update in a week or two...with photos.I will keep this because it is a pretty purple, but I will give "We Got The Beat" a try as that says "long lasting shine" so I know that's a gloss polish...and maybe another color or 2.

I usually paint my nails myself the old-fashioned way & I was looking for a turquoise nail polish color. This is actually called "Too Yacht to Handle", but the text under the color said "turquoise". I decided to give it a try and I'm glad I did! I love this. It lasts long, it's easy to put on by yourself and it's a great color for Summer.

The product arrived even earlier than promised and their motto "reach out and we will make it right" was very encouraging. Also, they provided a phone number and e-mail in the delivery box. When we called about other products, they were very warm and friendly. We would definitely use them again. Excellent experience with them.

Great color

Not good quality. Very thick and not easy to polish.
