China Glaze - Ride the Waves

Well, well, well, lookie what we have here.... the new China Glaze Neon collection is out and of course, Sally's has been ransacked.  I tried to get Pink Plumeria, and no such luck.  However, I did snag one jelly from the collection, Ride the Waves.  I love jellies; I love the shine, sheerness and ease of application.  So I'm excited!

In addition, Orly's Flash Glam Fx collection is out.  Why did I not hear about this earlier?!  Apparently there are suppose to be 22 of these amazing glitters to be released and I think 6 of them are out now.  Here is what I pick up at Sally's just a couple of days ago.

L to R: Ride the Waves, Mermaid Tale, Sashay My Way
I haven't had a chance to swatch the glitters but I wanted to post them in case I'm not the only one who's been living under a rock and did not know about Flash Glam....sheesh!  Oh, Orly suggests that you layer these glitters over Liquid Vinyl, their black polish... maybe I will or maybe I won't.

Here's Ride the Waves, a bright royal blue jelly. - Two coats.




Ride the Waves is not like a normal jelly.  It dries kind of dull, and the formula is a bit watery.  Most jellies feel plastic like and go on really smooth and evenly.  Ride the Waves did not.  When I first put this on I did not expect the formula to be watery and I tried to get an even coat on each nail.  Some nails had more paint than others and they all looked different and uneven.  So I had to start all over again and carefully put on two medium coats.   ...Learning curve.

The results are beautiful.  INM Out the Door top coat adds a nice shine with no shrinkage. 

Did you pick up any China Glaze neons?  Or any Flash Glams?

  5. I almost got Pink Pulmeria but went with Sun-kissed and Beach Cruise-r. I wanted to get Ride the Waves and I'm With the Lifeguard - but no such luck! Such a sad day! I saw the Orly Fx polishes and ALMOST got one - but the neons were too on trend for me to skip! Great swatches!
