This is the second polish I picked up from China Glaze's Avant Garden collection. The swatch photos I saw online looked absolutely beautiful. However, this is an excellent example of why I need to read more closely.
Why? Because the formula on this one was all kinds of awful. Thick, but runny, streaky, and not self-leveling at all. There are three coats to this mani, and it was still a bit of a struggle to get even. Luckily the color is an awesome light coral/peach with gold shimmer. Makes the application hurt less. :)
I cannot conclude without addressing those silly apostrophes. Or shall I say apostrophe's? Ugh. Did your naming people quit school before learning about apostrophes? Does anyone know if this is a reference to something that I'm unaware of? It drives me absolutely crazy. If I were an English teacher, kids would hate me.
I had the same experience with this one - and with all the other polishes I've tried so far from this collection. Really disappointing, because CG used to be my go-to brand, but lately the formula's have been lacking.

Oh, Gail. Your cracking me up! (That was intentional as well.)
DeleteI didn't have problems with Fancy Pants. Still, very disappointing. Had trouble with the Hologlams I got, but that's pretty typical for holos.
Hahahaha!
DeleteI didn't even get any of the holos - after the Color Club release the CG holos were really uninspiring to me.
I can't believe the formula sucks, because the color looks so gorgeous on your nails :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lucy. I appreciate your kind words! Trust, it was awful! I may try throwing some thinner in to see if that helps. Can't make it worse.
