| I've been wearing this color for about five days now and its only just now chipping, partly because i'm rough. Its a gorgeous color on the nails, i've gotten tons of compliments on it every day i've worn it. It took nicely with one coat and looked flawless with two coats. Of course placing a bottom coat and a top coat of polish makes it look ten times better. |
Really Really Beautiful color - best polish brand

I've bought a few blue polishes before and the bottle looks great but they look horrible on your nails and I eventually give them away or throw them away. I was in a risky mood, apparently and went with the descriptions by people and bought this and everyone was right - it is a perfect Tiffany Blue.
I LOVE IT! First of all, this was my first time ever trying China Glaze polish - bought a few bottles in this order in different colors-For Audrey, Recycle, Rainbow. The creme colors like this one and recycle are absolutely amazing. I have used the cheapest $1 bottles of polish, Revlon-drugstore/middle of the road, Zoya, up to OPI's DS at $12.50 and was shocked how much better China Glaze (cremes) is better than anything I have ever tried before - EVER. I do my own nails, haven't had a professional manicure in 7 years-since the price has skyrocketed where I live, never heard of China Glaze, and for $3.99/4.99 was skeptical - but could get so many more colors for my money, so I took the risk. It is the perfect thickness so you can use only 1 or 2 coats, depending on your preference, has a nice size quality brush, dries nicely and quickly, no streaking, no lifting of the color on the second coat (since I never wait until the first coat dries). When it dries, it is unbelievably glossy - looks wet for a week. I was afraid to touch anything for 3 hours on my first china Glaze manicure (which was Recycle)-because it looked WET! For Audrey is the same - STUNNING, really stunning. I finally was sure it was dry and realized days later, it really stays looking like the first day.
As for the color, it doesn't look like grade school blue or baby shower blue or trendy but tacky, or "I wish I was in high school". It could be worn with your most casual clothes-sweats, jeans, or dressy-casual, or sundresses -too blue for professional/work wear/corporate wear or for formal occasions (in my opinion)but still classy and beautiful.
I didn't use a top coat because it really wasn't needed but about four days into the polish, I painted over it with China Glaze Recycle (a beautiful glossy medium gray) which changed it a little to have a nice gray with blue tint, another beautiful manicure - that lasted a week.It looked beautiful as a totally different look. Everytime I have used my China Glaze polishes, I have removed the polish before the tips even started showing wear - no chipping, no wearing, no changes from day 1. I have not had to re-polish due to wear even once, each time, it was solely for the purpose of changing the color. So far, they have lasted at least 6 days.
I think it can be worn in so many ways and be classy. I would bet you could use a matte top coat to change it from glossy to matte if you wanted or use a no-bling glitter top coat (OPI Glitter bit of music is one I tried and loved).
For those who can only wear certain colors:
My skin tone is medium/slightly tan, medium brown hair, and nails are usually medium to short, always trying to get them to grow long, strong and healthy, with only intermittent luck. My For Audrey manicures were with medium nails -thought they are usually short/medium but after having them polished for a couple weeks, they were a nice solid medium length, getting close to long. I don't know if the polish kept them healthy enough to grow or not, but they have not broken since I started using the polish in this order (which had a couple OPI and a ZOYA). Keeping them polished at all can be helpful so it may have nothing to do with the China Glaze brand. Because of health reasons, I can't keep them polished as much as I would like, but it's a goal for the new year!
As for the seller - NailEtc., they were quick, got the order here by Christmas, even though it wasn't likely to get here in time, well packaged, and good prices for the polish itself. HOWEVER, the shipping is outrageous. It is better than a number of other nail polish sellers on Amazon (some charge $2-4 per bottle, no matter how many you get) but it's not worth the cheap prices if you don't get multiple bottles-but not too many. Only a bottle or two and you pay the same or more for each bottle than a regular priced seller - too many bottles and the shipping price jumps WAY up. I say "bottles" but it is based on the amount of money you spend, not number of bottles so if you get a few expensive items, it may be a smaller package and weigh less, and technically cost much less to ship, but you actually get charged much more to ship. BE CAREFUL, and check the shipping prices before clicking to purchase. But if you aren't concerned with pinching pennies, they are a terrific seller. |
Love the color!

| Thick yes, but 2 coats will stay on nicely for a week. The color is that of a 50's car, a very tame blue. My new fav color! |
Love the Color!

Just to clear any confusion, you only get one bottle when you order this, even though the picture and the description implies that you get a '6 pc counter display'. It would have been absolutely crazy for them to sell 6 bottles for such a cheap price but I admit that a part of me was still kind of hoping to receive 6 bottles when my package arrived :P
Anyway, I was pretty excited when I received my bottle. The bottle itself is pretty nice quality and the color is BEAUTIFUL. I was searching for a kind of robin's egg type of blue and this color is just that with a hint of green. I wasnt sure what Tiffany blue looks like, so I looked it up and it looks exactly like that lol. I found that one coat was too streaky for me, but that may have more to do with my technique. It looks absolutely perfect with two coats though :] |
Great color

| Just like the Tiffany's box color. Really nice color. I did need to use two coats to achieve desired coverage though. Really great addition to your nail polish collection nonetheless. |
