China Glaze Has Charming Shades
I don't think there is a color you can't find in this intriguing line, from the most subtle, barely-there nudes to deep cobalt blues and grays. It brushes on smoothly, dries well, and last a little longer than many other brands. Overall, it's a good buy. — 1 month, 3 weeks agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

Vibrant
The best thing I like about China Glaze polishes is that they come in so many vibrant colors. It's good quality; it brushes on smoothly, dries quickly and chips less frequently. — 2 years, 2 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 6 of 11 people said helpful

CHINA GLAZE NAIL LACQUER WITH HARDENERS
China Glaze is the polish that started my addiction. I bought a bottle of the Flash Forward topcoat by accident and that was it I was hooked. I have very thin, very peely nails and the hardeners in the China Glaze polish make all the difference for me. They leave my nails feeling like acrylics which I love. I almost never have problems with chipping as long as I wrap the tips. I wear polish for about a week or so. I could go longer but I don't like to see the growth and well, I'll be honest...I get bored! I do use other polish but my absolute favorite is still China Glaze! I've been playing around with polishes for a few months now, and I have to say that China Glaze is the best brand I've tried so far. I get no chipping for days (this is an accomplishment for me) when I use along with Essie First Base and Rock topcoat. I feel like China Glaze polishes dry faster and harder than either OPI or Essie. If there's one major issue I have with this line, it's that certain colors (especially flatter, pastel-y cream colors like For Audrey) have a strange sort of goopy consistency. When I try adding nail polish thinner, it just becomes a thinner kind of goopy. I've had better luck with sheers/jellies and glitters. China Glaze Nail Polish is found at Sally Beauty Supply as well as online. They have a huge range of colors and finishes and release new collections four to six times a year, I believe. Newer CG polishes are B3F which can make them gloopy but a little bit of polish thinner helps that. (As a side note, the formulation is getting better since they went B3F a few years ago.) Older CGs have a better formula and are easier to work with. I've had no problems with wear time and usually get a full five days out of any polish with Seche Vite over the top. Some of the colors dry extremely slowly on their own but with SV drying time is about 1/2 hour to rock hard. China Glaze is my Holy Grail go-to polish right up there with my other HG - OPI - and I plan on adding many more to my collection and would definitely recommend this line. — 1 year, 1 month agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 15 of 22 people said helpful
