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.

China Glaze At Vase Value vs China Glaze Aquadelic

China Glaze At Vase Value: Middle Finger, Pinky
China Glaze Aquadelic: Index Finger, Ring Finger

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

China Glaze At Vase Value vs Essie Borrowed & Blue

China Glaze At Vase Value: Middle Finger, Pinky
Essie Borrowed & Blue: Index Finger, Ring Finger

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! :)

Nail Art Neon Studs

So I just got some neon nail art studs from PolishAlley.com and this is me trying them out!

These neon studs comes in 6 colors, with both square & circle studs for each colors. The circle studs are smaller than I thought (they were 2mm each) but they were actually just right for me as my nails are reallly small.

To stick the studs on, I applied a coat of top coat over my base color (which is China Glaze Aquadelic btw), and quickly arrange the studs on my nails before the top coat dries. I was afraid that the studs will fall off easily so I decided to apply another coat of top coat over everything again.

Luckily they still looked nice with a glossy finish. Unfortunately my top coat was turning gooey and there was a ton of bubbles. :(

Here's how it looked before the top coat!
