China Glaze 'Peachy Keen' Peach Nail Polish Swatch and Review

-
Hello, everybody! How are you today? Me? I'm happy coz' I've got China Glaze and a story to share with y'all. Ok, so I was at the shopping centre and hitting up all those shops that sell nail polish (as you do when you are a nail polish addict) and I get to one of my favourite discount stores. In the nail polish section there was a bottle of China Glaze! Gasp! I was so excited because I had never seen an actual, physical bottle of China Glaze in an actual, physical store! Naturally, I grabbed it. When I got to the checkout there were two ladies at the checkout. One of them, who was serving me, scanned the China Glaze and it came up as $2 instead of $5 and because she was really lovely she offered to help me look for any more but I had already looked through very thoroughly (as you do when you see China Glaze in a store) so I said 'Oh, no. It's okay, this was the only one of these in there" and as soon as I said that, the other lady that was at the counter just gave me the dirtiest look, like 'I wanted that discount China Glaze' which obviously was making me very, very uncomfortable. The receipt was taking forever to print, and the whole time I was being given this terrible look and I was so uncomfortable I just wanted to get out of there! When the receipt finally printed, I grabbed it, gave my thanks and in my rush, dropped the reciept like a clutz, and picked it up and almost dropped it again, then rushed out of the store totally in a fluster. BUT, I was still victorious because I got a bargain (cue evil cackling here). Anyway, I shall proceed with the swatch and the review, enjoy it, the fruit of my embarrassing and uncomfortable experience.


Yay! I have a minor obsession with China Glaze nail polish and peach nail polish, so guys, innit this a treat? I haven't seen many nail polishes that are similar to this colour wise, therefore, the obsession. I  This polish has a good formula which almost reaches full opacity in two coats, but, I found that the second coat still had streaks and dark spots through it so I had to apply a third. I was honestly surprised that I needed that third coat, because it was really opaque, even from coat number one! I think that this problem with streaks may have been due to the skinny China Glaze brush rather than a problem with the formula.


Even though I like peach polishes a lot, I was a little worried that this colour wouldn't suit my skin tone, as it is more orange-toned than the other peach nail polish I own (V.I Peach by Sinful Colors). I was pleasantly surprised that it looked good on me. It also has a high shine finish, which I love!

Overall, I really enjoyed this unique nail polish. Despite the fact that it needed three coats, you don't see a lot of polishes in this colour, I say, if you see it; snap it up! I really think this is a great polish to wear in the summertime; It's bright, fun and really shiny! It was worth the trauma to get my hands on this unique gem! What do you guys think? Do you see many peach-polishes? What do you think about the China Glaze brush? What season would you wear this polish? Let me know right here in the comments (please do!) and on Instagram and Pintrest (my username is thegoodnailsblog)!
May your nails be good!

Sinful Colours New Shades 2019 Full Collection Swatch and Review

Helloooo! Helloooo! Heloooo! Oh my! I am really very, very excited to present to you all a new collection swatch and review from Sinful Colours! This is the new core collection from Sinful Colours for 2019, which consists of 8 nail polishes. The slightly oddity here is that there are two nail polishes that I haven't seen in the other collection reviews; these being Holo Back and All Jokes Acia'd. It's possible that they are exclusive to Australia or maybe were released a little later than the rest of the collection? Those are my running theories, but if anyone knows please share your awesome information down below in the comments section! Y'know, when I do a collection review I never know which polish to start with! Do I choose something that works well as a representation of the overall collection? Do I pick my favourite or least favourite? Do I just pick whichever swatch photo I see first? Yep, the last one, it's always the last one, otherwise I'll never choos

Sinful Colors Vanessa Hudgens Winter Collection, Full Collection Review

Hello everybody! I'm so very excited today because we will be looking at the Sinful Colors Vanessa Hudgens collaboration collection for winter! I just adore the Sinful Colors/Vanessa Hudgens collaboration polishes, they are some of my favourite polishes in my collection, so my expectations for this collection were very high (almost as high as my excitement levels!). This is a 12 piece collection (the last collection aka the Jungle Beat collection only had 8 polishes but the Festival collection also had 12, just a fun little fact) and every single one of them is shimmer polish; not a single creme in sight! This differs from the the other collaborations, which all had at least a few cremes thrown in there. But, I'm not too upset about that; I LOVE shimmer polishes, and after swatching a collection that was pretty much completely made up of creme polishes (none other than the Sinful Colors New Shades collection), I am happy to be swatching these shimmery beauties! Oh! And, before

Sinful Colors Vanessa Hudgens Jungle Beat Collection Swatch and Review

Hello everybody! Today is a very, very, very exciting day for this blog because this is my first ever swatch and review of a collection! I was super pumped when I started seeing polishes from the Vanessa Hudgens collection around October, and picked up the four polishes that were available. When I brought my polishes home and looked them up, I was only able to find two of them on the Sinful Colors website, which were apart of the festival collection. I only found a swatch or two of the other polishes that I picked up and no mention of them from SC on their website. As time went by and more Vanessa Hudgens polishes started popping up, I noticed the same thing happening; these polishes didn't seem to exist! It was not until I saw a display at a Priceline store that I rarely visited that it finally made sense; these polishes must have been from a separate collection which had yet to be announced. And so, this is how I came to realise these were apart of the 'jungle bea
