CHINA GLAZE NAIL LACQUER WITH HARDENERS
TWMichello (160 reviews)
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 month, 2 weeks agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 4 of 4 people said helpful

Good brand.
LipglossandSpandex (487 reviews)
Average price compared to salon nailpolishes. Sturdy bottle but the brush is a little small. Fairly long wearing. Some colors are better than others. I prefer OPI, but China Glaze is still good. — 1 year, 2 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 2 of 2 people said helpful

Vibrant
volta (516 reviews)
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. — 1 year, 2 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 2 of 3 people said helpful

simply the best!
kenya (498 reviews)
i love china glaze! i only need one coat to cover my nails. the brush is top quality for easy application! the colors are very opaque, so with just one and a half coats, i'm good. this means that my nails dry fast and not so thick. this polish does not chip for a few days. and with so many colors to choose from, theres something for everyone! — 1 year, 3 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 3 of 4 people said helpful

My Favorite
TheLacqueredLady (588 reviews)
China Glaze is by far my favorite nail lacquer company. I find it wears longer than OPI and is much cheaper. They are especially known for their shimmer polishes, which are to die for. — 10 months, 2 weeks agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

Great Color
Stef42678 (479 reviews)
I really love this nail polish, because it comes in great bold colors and doesn't chip off soon after painting. The nail polish dries fast to harden nails and it looks great in one coat. — 3 years agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 2 of 2 people said helpful

Lovely colors
sweettpea29 (205 reviews)
I have been trying to find a blue that doesn't make me feel like a teenager. CG has created the most eye popping blue aptly named "For Audrey." It reminds me of a Tiffany box blue. I have also painted Lippmann's Happy Birthday over "For Audrey" and it does not detract from the polish but rather enhances it. CG also has a wonderful variety of reds. One of my favorite is named "Strawberry Fields." It consists of a pinky red with gold flecks, not exactly glitter or shimmer. — 10 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 1 people said helpful
