Hey everyone! I'm so excited the weekend is here! I am going to be swatching a whole stack of colours today to show you over the next week. Hope my cuticles and nails can keep up with it!
Today I have six colours from the recent China Glaze Anchor's Away collection. There are no words to describe how excited I was about the arrival of this collection! All the colours looked amazing and now that I have them, I can safely say they have lived up to my expectations!
I used two coats for each of the colours below, and no top coat.
Pelican Gray - Light gray with silver microshimmer. Not much to say for this colour except that it is absolutely stunning and applied like a dream!
Lighthouse - Bright yellow gold with gold sparkle. This one was... interesting.. and sheer... I liked the idea of this polish, but the colour didn't suit my skin tone as well. I'm guessing you could layer this over another polish, but I don't have any ideas yet of which polish to use underneath.
Below Deck - Dusty purple gray cream. This was undoubtedly the most anticipated colour from the whole collection due to it's resemblance to Channelesque. I haven't compared the two side by side, but I'm going to say that the difference between then is negligible and if you haven't got Channelesque, Below Deck is a pretty decent substitute. BD applied really well and I since I'm a sucker for purple grays, I'm head over heels for this one!
Starboard - Grassy spring green cream - Wowzers! This one is bright and beautiful! I think I have told you before that I'm not a massive fan of greens, but I find myself loving this one!
Life Preserver - Burnt orange cream. I was really keen to see this one in real life, because I don't really have a colour like this in my collection. It is a lot brighter than I thought I would be. I think I love it....
White Cap - Sheer white with golden shimmer. On its own, this polish isn't that impressive, but layered over another colour, it really shines! I put a coat over Life Preserver to show you.
I feel like a broken record, continually singing the praises of these polishes, but with the exception of Lighthouse, I honestly did love all of them! Which ones did you pick up from the collection?
Part two of this collection should be up over the next few days.
