China GlazeNail Polish, Pearl Jammin' 1480

The product arrived even earlier than promised and their motto "reach out and we will make it right" was very encouraging. Also, they provided a phone number and e-mail in the delivery box. When we called about other products, they were very warm and friendly. We would definitely use them again. Excellent experience with them.

I usually paint my nails myself the old-fashioned way & I was looking for a turquoise nail polish color. This is actually called "Too Yacht to Handle", but the text under the color said "turquoise". I decided to give it a try and I'm glad I did! I love this. It lasts long, it's easy to put on by yourself and it's a great color for Summer.

This has been my favorite color for a few months. When I ran out of it, I tried finding another brand that had a color similar, and I couldn’t find anything quite like this color. I get a lot of compliments when wearing it. I used two coats over a ridge filler base and it gives a beautiful even color. The brush is easy to apply.

For the past 21 years, I have had my nails done at the salon. Started with Acrylic then the last year I switched to Gel, and then doing the Gel at home by myself. Almost 2 years ago, I took it all off and am just letting my natural nails heal and grow. I finally have long nails again and wanted to start painting them. Amazon has everything, so why not shop nail polish?!I've used China Glaze before and have never had any issues with it. Until now. And it's not a huge issue, but for me, it's an issue.I bought this purple "Creative Fantasy" because I love purple. And this looked <in the descriptions' photo> exactly like the color of my Dodge Charger, so I had to get it! I wasn't sure if it was going to be a Matte or Shiny, because of the photo.I got my polish yesterday and today I did my nails. I took photos so you could see what the polish looks like after each layer.So here goes...before I start, I have to say it was hard taking photos that showed what it truly looked like. And...the clear shiny stuff on my cuticles is that stuff you paint on to keep the polish off of the skin.<I really stink at applying nail polish!> I also applied a layer of clear base coat. <I don't want my nails turning purple!!>This is what i used...https://smile.amazon.com/PUEEN-Cuticle-Barrier-Protector-BH000584/dp/B016LIABMQ/ref=sr_1_3_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1508195189&sr=8-3&keywords=latex+nail+polish+barrierThe 1st two photos show the first layer of polish on both hands. You can see it's super thin, and kind of matte looking.The next 2 photos show the 2nd layer of polish on both hands. Still hard to show how matte it really is...it's not a "true" matte - it just looks like there's a "film" on the polish....it's definitely not clear and shiny.Next 2 photos are with 3 layers. Yes, I had to apply 3 layers so there weren't any lines in my polish...see-through lines. This polish is not consistent.The next 2 photos show a clear glossy top coat. You can also see that I peeled off the skin barrier <in a little pink blob at the top of the photo.I took all of these photos inside, in my living room, with normal lighting. You can see how dark the polish looks. Not what I was looking for, but it's still a pretty, dark purple. I went outside in the sun, and took 2 more photos so you can see what it looks like outside. Those are the last 2 photos - you can see this is a VIVID purple.So, I had to apply a base coat, 3 layers of Creative Fantasy purple, and a clear glossy top coat. It took forever!!! I took 1 star away because it shouldn't be this hard to get the color of nail polish you thought you were getting...and it shouldn't take so long! Also, the fact that this is not a glossy nail polish...I'd say "Semi Gloss" at best. I don't like Matte nail polish...I don't know why - I just don't.I can't say if this chips, or how well or how long this will "wear" because I just applied it today <October 16>. But I will come back and update in a week or two...with photos.I will keep this because it is a pretty purple, but I will give "We Got The Beat" a try as that says "long lasting shine" so I know that's a gloss polish...and maybe another color or 2.

This is a beautiful color! I’ve used it plain and then I put a light blue base and covered it and it was really beautiful!Very nice color!

works like China Glaze

This fresh bright aqua/mint green is my favorite trendy, summery, bright color. It is a cheer-inspiring "pop" that can be worn with almost anything. Unable to find anything even close in any of the usual drugstore brands, I checked online. After doing some research comparing other brands carrying a similar color, I decided to go ahead and get this one based on the high ratings and lower price. Being supposedly salon quality, and being a bit of a splurge, I had high hopes. (Oddly, this particular color is more expensive here than other colors of the China Glaze summer 2014 "Sunsational" collection, such as "That's Shore Bright," but it's still cheaper on Amazon than at Ulta or Sally's.)I'm very happy with the color. It's exactly what I wanted. However, I'm very disappointed in the lacquer itself. As others here have commented, it is thin and leaves streaks even with three coats. No matter what I did, I had to apply four thick coats just to get even coverage. At least it dries quickly and is never tacky, so I could keep putting on the coats without waiting any length of time between them.Worse than the coverage, however, was how quickly it began to crack and chip off! I hastily applied a top coat, but that only prolonged the wear for the rest of the afternoon. I decided to try using a base and top coat next time. Not much better. Even over a base coat, three coats still looks streaky. And while it's not cracking yet, it's still starting to flake off around the tips after only having it on a few hours (and I've been easy on it)!While I still adore this color and will keep wearing it (for however many hours I can at a time), I wish I had bought another brand (like NYX or Essie, which have very similar colors), or waited until some cheaper drugstore brand comes out with it. That way, I'd expect it to be cheap for what I'd pay for it. I was not expecting this from of a supposedly salon-quality line! As excited as I was to get this new color, I'm very disappointed with this product.

Super pretty and bright!

One of my favorite color

All China glaze nail polishes last on nails for ages

The pigment is not a good quality one & removal was not clean like the usual China Glaze nail polish. I fear it’s not a genuine product.

He tenido que dar 3 capas para que quede un color sólido. Al día siguiente se me crearon rallones.Se debe utilizar un esmalte de acabado creo yo.Y si que noto las uñas más duras.En definitiva, no creo que vuelva a comprar esta marca, aunque ponga q esta hecho en EEUU.

Great colour, requires at least two coats
