Comparison: China Glaze At Vase Value

China Glaze At Vase Value is a pale minty aqua creme polish that looks blue besides a green, and looks green besides a blue. Go figure.

For today's comparison, I'll be doing China Glaze's At Vase Value vs the following:

China Glaze Re-fresh Mint
China Glaze Aquadelic
Essie Borrowed & Blue

Placed beside China Glaze Re-fresh Mint, which is a pure light mint green, At Vase Value is looking totally light sky blue here.

My swatch looked a little too blue here, both of them are actually slightly teal with Aquadelic being more green.

Surprisingly, this is actually the closest comparison I can get for At Vase Value. Placed beside Essie Borrowed & Blue, a pale baby blue, the green in At Vase Value finally managed to show through.

China Glaze At Vase Value is certainly becoming my favorite creme blue to use. Such a pretty & unique color!

Someone did commented on one of my posts that At Vase Value is actually the aqua blue version of Essie Mint Candy Apple, but I don't have that polish to compare with. So you have that one, please do a comparison for us! :)

  2. Regarding Mint Candy Apple, I have a comparison post (http://fluffywuffnails.blogspot.com/2014/02/china-glaze-at-vase-value-from-city.html) but my photos are kind of terrible, sooo it won't be a great help, lol. I just sampled them on an index card together, and they're very noticeably different. Until I get better lighting in the daytime, for now I'd say they look like a jade versus a sky blue.
