Comparison: China Glaze In A Lily Bit vs Light As Air vs OPI Rumple's Wiggin

Okay, I know I've said that I would be doing comparisons for the China Glaze City Flourish collection, but I'm kinda busy these days.. So I'll be doing them one by one so if I dont have time to do all of them, at least I'll have some up.

So here's the first comparisons, it's for China Glaze In A Lily Bit!

China Glaze In A Lily Bit vs China Glaze Light As Air

Once I saw China Glaze In A Lily, I immediately wondered how it compares to China Glaze Light As Air.. so here it is!

China Glaze In A Lily Bit: Middle Finger, Pinky
China Glaze Light As Air: Index Finger, Ring Finger

China Glaze In A Lily Bit vs China Glaze Light As Air

They're both light pinkish purple, but China Glaze Light As Air is a more dusty purple, while China Glaze In A Lily Bit is brighter and more pink.

China Glaze In A Lily Bit vs OPI Rumple's Wiggin

And of course, we can't miss out OPI Rumple's Wiggin.

China Glaze In A Lily Bit: Middle Finger, Pinky
OPI Rumple's Wiggin: Index Finger, Ring Finger

China Glaze In A Lily Bit vs OPI Rumple's Wiggin

OPI Rumple's Wiggin is actually quite similar to China Glaze In A Lily Bit, but just a shade more purple.

I haven't been using my OPIs for awhile and I must say I really love OPI's pro-wide brush!. Totally no clean-up for OPI and check out how nicely curved it is!

China Glaze City Flourish Swatches - Pollen In Love

Today I'm showing swatches for 2nd half of the China Glaze City Flourish collection - Pollen In Love!

In case you have missed out the first half - Peonies & Park Ave, you can check them out here!

China Glaze Don't Honk Your Thorn is a light beige brown creme polish with very light silver shimmers.

Application-wise is okay, but polish tends to create bald spots. The way to solve it is to wait till the bottom coat is fully dried before applying another coat. Still, this took me 3 coats + top coat.

A pretty nudish color that isn't similar to any others I have in my collection.

---

China Glaze Strike A Rose is a magenta pink creme polish with light silver shimmers.

Application is great, I achieved this in 2 easy coats & a layer of top coat.

A beautiful color that looks really good on my skin tone.

---

China Glaze What A Pansy is a blue toned dusty purple creme polish. Another of the type of colors that I simply can't resist!

Application is great as well, 2 easy coats with top coat.

Definitely one of my favourite from this collection.

---

China Glaze Thistle Do Nicely is a bright neon highlighter pink polish with creme finish.

Application is great, 2 easy coats with top coat.

A super eye blinding bright pink. People can probably spot you from a mile with this on. :)

---

China Glaze Grass Is Lime Greener is a bright green creme polish. A really unique color for nail polish in my opinion.

Application is okay, polish tends to have bald spots. Took me 3 coats + top coat.

A beautiful polish, I think I will be using this for nail art a lot. :)

---

China Glaze Metro Pollen-tin is a mustard / Nacho Cheese yellow polish.

Application is easy, but this polish have bald spots problem as well. 3 coats with top coat.

Very pretty! One of the rare yellows that actually suits my skin tone.

So we are finally done with the swatches of China Glaze City Florish collection. What are your thoughts for them? I'm certainly glad I have these as these are colors that I'll use frequently.

Nevertheless, I think 1 pink or coral in each collection would be enough. We have too many of them already!

For those interested, the whole City Florish collection is now available for sale at www.PolishAlley.com

China Glaze City Flourish Swatches - The Peonies & Park Ave

 

Hi Ladies! Today I have swatches for half of the China Glaze Spring 2014 City Flourish collection!

City Flourish comprise of 12 creme colors, and most of them are pastels. Definitely my type of colors! The collection is divided into 2 sub-collections, which are Peonies & Park Ave and Pollen In Love.

Today I will be showing you swatches from the Peonies & Park Ave half of this collection!

China Glaze In A Lily Bit is a beautiful light lilac creme polish with a little hint of pink.

Application is great! I achieved this in 2 easy coats and Seche Vite top coat. It looked just a tiny bit streaky after the 2 coats, but Seche Vite smoothed them out pretty easily.

---

China Glaze Petal To The Metal is a peachy coral creme polish that's almost neon!

Application is great as well, 2 coats with top coat!

---

China Glaze Peonies & Park Ave is a bright neon pink but creme polish. I know.. It's complicated. LOL

Application is great, applies like a thicker than typical neon. This is 2 coats with top coat.

---

China Glaze Spring In My Step is a very pale beige-pink creme polish. Very soft & pretty polish.

Application is great, though there was some bald spots. This took me 3 coats with top coat.

Sometimes it looked more beige, sometimes it looked more pink.. It's really hard to decide.

---

China Glaze Lotus Begin is a deeper pastel lilac creme polish.

Application is rather easy, but it was rather thin initially. I had to shake it up really hard to get the polish mixed well and become a more regular texture.

Took me 3 coats with top coat for this due to bald spots.

Color is gorgeous though.

---

China Glaze At Vase Value is a pale minty aqua creme polish. This polish reminds me of China Glaze Aquadelic but lighter.

Application is great, but the color is a little thin so it took me 3 coats with top coat.

---

Overall I am loving this collection! The colors are all bright & pastels.. the types of colors I love & frequently use.

The only problems I have would be that there isn't much unique colors in this collection and I already have a list of similar polishes in my head. Will probably do a comparison post after I've swatched all of them.

Also, there seems to be too many pinks & corals. I wish there's more variety. :(

What do you think? Do you like what you had seen so far?

My Chinese New Year Nails!

I went blue this Chinese New Year to match my new dress! :) Do you like it?

For my base color, I used ColorClub Over The Moon, a beautiful ocean blue holographic polish and stamped on the design with Pueen Stamping plate PUEEN49.

I've bought a few new plates recently, including PUEEN plates and CICI & SISI plates. Really loving the designs they have and I can't wait to show more of them in the next few posts! Stay tuned!

For those in Singapore, both the polish & the stamping plate (from Amazon) can be spree-ed from SpreeAlley.wordpress.com!
