So today I have the comparison post which I promised in my last post! And one thing I found out these few days is that the China Glaze Neons On The Shore collection (In Singapore) is actually called China Glaze Sunsational in the US!
Not sure why the difference in name, but for benefits of my US readers (and easier for people to find me), I'm putting Sunsational into the blog post name as well. :)
First comparison will be between
China Glaze Highlight Of My Summer and
China Glaze Re-fresh Mint!

*Sorry about the dent there from my thumb nail..
Re-fresh Mint in my memory was a fresh cheerful mint green but placed beside
Hightlight Of My Summer, it instantly became this dusty grayish mint instead..
I think I might actually be picking up
Highlight Of My Summer next time for my nail arts instead of
Re-fresh Mint already!

This is 2 coats each.. Formula is pretty much about the same for both polish as they are both cremes.
Next is
China Glaze Sun Of A Peach vs
China Glaze Peachy Keen!

I think I'm right on
Sun Of A Peach being the modified neon version of
Peachy Keen.. They actually looked really similar on their first coat! It's the 2nd coat that turned
Peachy Keen into this sad looking dusty peach and give
Sun Of A Peach a more neon finish.

This 2nd picture isn't really colour accurate due to the lighting. I guess I just included it to show that.. the colours are different? LOL
This is 2 coats each.
China Glaze Too Yacht To Handle vs
China Glaze For Audrey

Similar to the previous polishes, placing these 2 side by side sort of turned
Too Yacht To Handle into
For Audrey, and
For Audrey into dusty Tiffany.. They are definitely the same type of blue though. :)

These are 2 coats each. Which one do you prefer?
Next up,
China Glaze Keepin' It Teal vs
China Glaze Four Leaf Clover

| China Glaze Four Leaf Clover vs China Glaze Keepin' It Teal |
.JPG "China Glaze Keepin' It Teal vs China Glaze Four Leaves Clover") |
| FLC, KIT, FLC, KIT |
Keepin' It Teal and
Four Leaf Clover are not totally identical but close enough! Formula-wise,
Four Leaf Clover is a neon-ish creme while
Keepin' It Teal is sheer jelly.
Keepin' it Teal is definitely easier to apply but you can still see a bit of VNL there.

Four Leaf Clover is one coat on the index finger and two coats on the ring finger.
Keepin' It Teal is four coats each.
Now we're moving on to comparisons within the collection!
China Glaze Are You Jelly? vs
China Glaze That's Shore Bright

These 2 are the neons are not really that neon in the collection. I don't have any similar purples in my stash so I decided to a comparison between the 2 purples in the collection in case you ain't going to get both.
I do prefer
Are You Jelly? between the 2, but it keeps creating these bald spots that are impossible to cover! You can still see the bald spot on my pinkie which I gave up on.

| TSB, AYJ, TSB, AYJ |
I used 2 coats for
That's Shore Bright and 3-4 coats for
Are You Jelly?
Even though
Are You Jelly? is a jelly, it's quite opaque..No VNL there, but the bald spots are really frustrating.
Last but not least..
China Glaze Hot Index vs
China Glaze Bottoms Up vs
China Glaze You Drive Me Coconuts.

| China Glaze Heat Index vs China Glaze Bottoms Up vs China Glaze You Drive Me Coconuts |

| HI, BU, YDMC, BU |
Hot Index is now my favourite out of these 3!! The colour I like, and the finish is so squishy.. looking super delicious!
Jelly effect is less prominent for
You Drive Me Coconuts.. It looks more like a creme finish, but the application is definitely jelly.

| HI, BU, YDMC, BU |
For both
Heat Index and
You Drive Me Coconuts, I used about 3-4 coats and 2 coats for
Bottoms Up.
Well, hopefully this post is helped some of you out there! After doing so many swatches, I'm kinda looking forward to working on some nail art now!

Thank you :)
ReplyDeleteI really want to have for Audrey and That's Shore Bright
Great comparison post! I am adding some of these to my must-buy list!
ReplyDeleteI love your blog. That is a good idea to do the comparisons.
ReplyDeleteThese are great comparisons! Now I know I don't need Keepin' it Teal, but I may want Sun of a Peach. Thanks for the post! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat and informative post :)
ReplyDeletewow, really useful comparisons! great job!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much!! Love this post, will be referring to it later!
ReplyDeleteThanks for this awesome comparison!! This definitely cleared up my indecisiveness for this collection. I'm almost thinking Too Yacht To Handle It may be more similar to China Glaze Aquadelic rather than For Audrey?
ReplyDeleteThat means possible too although Aquadelic might be slightly greener? I'll try to swatch a comparison between Aquadelic and Too Yacht To Handle if I have time! :)
DeleteNice post! Awesome pics! Lovin 'Highlight Of My Summer'
ReplyDeletethanks for these comparisons!!!
ReplyDeleteAwesome comparison! Very helpful!
ReplyDeleteThanks for this comparison! I don't ant the jellies but I have a hard time choosing which cremes I want, they are all nice and I have nothign like any of them yet. The pastel neon makes them so unique. Not good for my wallet!
ReplyDeleteHave any of you had problems with application? I heard the cremes are horific.
OMG Thank u sooo much for this post. I love tiffany blues but I don't know how China Glaze could have made 3 polishes that are so similar. I have been torn between for audrey and too yacht to handle and aquadelic. I would really appreciate it if you could perhaps compare with aquadelic too? Thanks again sooo much.
ReplyDeleteVery good post! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThanks for this great post! Very helpful!
ReplyDeleteWow, this is such a great comparison! Like other people though, I wonder how similar Too Yacht to Handle is to Aquadelic.
ReplyDeletei cant believe i have all those polishes xD
ReplyDeleteThank you very much!!!
ReplyDeleteThese types of posts are so useful, thank you for doing them =)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for this awesome comparison! So usefull!! I really need to see those colors together to decide!!! Love your post!!
