China Glaze Love's a Beach Swatch

Hey hey.

So, my nail polish chipped rather quickly so I had to do a change. I wanted to try another one of the China Glaze neons from their summer collection. I did a bright but dark pink this time, Love's a Beach. As with most of their summer neon shades, this one has an awesome shimmer that makes it different than just a regular neon pink. I like it.

Here's two coats with Seche:

Again, this one needed Seche too. The formula was thick as hell but manageable. Dry time is SLOW. Don't do any heavy hand work for a few hours after painting your nails with this. Even after Seche and quick drying drops.

The color, I find it to be unique in my stash. It's darker than most hot pinks I have, and the shimmer makes it stand out. Well done, China Glaze. You took a predictable color and made it somewhat unique. I can dig that.

What do you think? Do you think it's too typical? Do you like it? Let me know, thanks for reading! :D

    1. Well, it sets quickly with Seche but I find that you can very easily dent it up to a few hours later... I can put up with it but it's really annoying.

  2. I definitely think this is my favorite of the 2012 Neons. It's such a bright color, but has dark undertones as well. I love it!

    1. I agree, I really like it which is weird because everyone has done a neon pink...but this one still manages to stand out :]

    1. I know! It's worth it though, the color is pretty and it wears well.
