Oh my heck, this was the cutest mani! The base is China Glaze Cuba Diving, a gorgeous turquoiseish blue. The formula was excellent! This is two coats, great opacity. And then to make it super fun, I pulled out KB Shimmer Spotted!! Excuse all those weird bubbles in the top coat, not really noticeable irl!… Read More Mainstream Mani Monday- China Glaze Cuba Diving topped with KB Shimmer Spotted
This polish was from the 2015 Electric Nights collection, just as I was getting into nail polish. I actually think I picked this one up later, not in 2015, but can’t be sure. China Glaze Red-y to Rave. This is described as a neon red, but it’s orange in my opinion. When I researched this… Read More Mainstream Mani Monday- China Glaze Red-y to Rave
Soooooo, Zoya Maddy is not at all my type of color. But Zoya got me, because my oldest daughter is named Madison, and we’ve always called her Maddy, spelled like this (often we see it spelled Maddie). So of course I had to have it. It looks okay, but dang the formula was hard to… Read More Mainstream Mani Monday- Zoya Maddy and China Glaze Guava Mama
China Glaze Thatway- this is from AT LEAST 2009! I have no idea how old my bottle actually is, lol. You can see from the Sally’s sticker this was at least back when China Glaze polishes were $7 full size, and I got it on sale for $.99. The formula was awesome! It didn’t need… Read More Mainstream Mani Monday- China Glaze Thataway and OPI You’re Such a Budapest
Sometimes you just need a full on glitter bomb. I tried this in three coats on its own (pointer and middle finger), and over a gray Zoya (maybe Cary?) in one coat. Look how much glitter comes out in just one coat! And the three coats is pretty much full coverage. A nice pretty even… Read More Mainstream Mani Monday- China Glaze Pine-ing for Glitter, Color Club Wing Fling

I picked Mustard the Courage on a whim when I made a polishpick.com order. Because everyone says how great it is, and I do like it! I love the shade and the formula is great! A great fall color, not too brown or green leaning. It’s really great CG color, highly recommend! Sleeping Under the… Read More Mainstream Mani Monday- China Glaze Mustard the Courage and China Glaze Sleeping Under the Stars
I held off, I tried not to buy it. BUT I HAD TO. And I haven’t even ever had Dippin’ Dots. Nope. But I got the whole China Glaze Dippin’ Dots collex. I got it off Ebay. It was less than $30 for all of them. I was kind of dumb, I had ordered other… Read More Mainstream Mani Monday- China Glaze Dippin’ Dots Collection

I picked up 4 of the 6 polishes in this collection- I didn’t pick up the matte black or matte white, I kind of figured I could put a matte top coat over a regular black or white, lol. But I got the other 4. First up, the vampy red, Deadly Desire! A lovely red… Read More Halloween 2022 Mainstream Mani Monday- China Glaze Vain Villans (2022)
