CHINA GLAZE - ANCHORS AWAY! PART 1

FINALLY!!! I have had this collection for a few weeks and I am just now getting around to showing it to you all. I'm sure you have seen these already, but so far this collection is so awesome it is worth taking another look at.

The first set of pictures were taken with no flash. The second set are shown with flash.








This color didn't look good on me at all. I think it was just too close to my actual skin color. I think this would look great on darker skin tones. Of the 6 colors I'm showing you today this was the only one that fell flat with me. The shimmer does help this color out though.









Very cool & trendy taupe, purple, gray color. This applied really nice. Some shimmer would have really knocked this up a notch for me though.








This was one of my favorites! I love this dusty orange color, that is still bright enough to wear in the summer. Super gorgeous! Can't say enough about how much I love this!


I didn't realize I got a little sloppy with this one until I looked at these pics so I apologize for that. This was a really cool blue! It's a pretty unique shade and I'm not sure if I have anything that is close to this color.


Loving everything about this color!!!! This is my DREAM red! This color is so pretty. It is a bright cherry red and with a name like Hey Sailor - what's not to love?


I was excited about this color. This one went on pretty sheer though compared to all the others which have been pretty opaque so far. But three coats and it was good to go. Man I wish the shimmer would have been just a wee bit more prominent in this! Still a really pretty gray - loving it too!

    I passed up Pelican Gray, but seeing it now, I think I might have to go back to get one. Great pics!

    I want Below Deck. That's my favorite shade. The rest seem to be shades have. I don't care for the first one too much.

    What top coat do you use? Or are all these naturally so jelly looking?
