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

China Glaze At Vase Value: Middle Finger, Pinky
China Glaze Re-fresh Mint: Index Finger, Ring Finger

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! :)

Double Tips


Felt like doing something with Easter feel since it's around the corner but didn't really want to do something complicated so I decided to just go with some pastel colours.

Double french tips in the prettiest baby blue (Essie Borrowed & Blue) with OPI Planks Alot & acrylic ribbon on pointer finger. It's a little weird to have my pointer finger as the accent finger, but I forgot about wanting to have an accent finger again & painted all the other fingers already. Oh well..

Polishes Used:
Essence Sweet As Candy
Essie Borrowed & Blue
OPI Planks Alot
China Glaze Candie
LA Color Ice Breaker
