NOTD: China Glaze Sea Spray

So, let me start by saying that I almost went an entire month without buying any nail polishes! This is HUGE for me, and I really wanted to make it the entire month, but I was out shopping a lot these past few days and got sucked in. I lasted 23 days without buying any, which still is a step in the right direction, considering my collection has grown to over 250. Anyway, the reason I wanted to start with this bit about how I'm kind of proud of myself if you will, was because I've taken this time of not buying polishes to "shop my stash." I've discoed many nail polishes that I just haven't gotten around to using or ones that I've completely forgotten about. Which brings me to this post.

I was so excited about the China Glaze Anchors Away collection when it came out way back in  January/February (so I apologize for raving about it if you can't get your hands on it anymore, but maybe check online) and I was extremely excited about one color in-particular, Sea Spray! I ran out to try and find it, and it was rather hard to track down because I'm pretty sure Sally's never got this collection, but needless to say I found it! Then, I guess I swatched it on my nail wheel and tucked it away. Shame on me! It's so gorgeous, I knew I bought it for a good reason!

It is the creamiest, most opaque nail polish I have ever used. The application is like no other. It applied like a dream and was completely opaque in one coat! I used two for good measure, but the picture below is only one coat! It's seriously an amazing polish and color like no other, that I have anyway.


The rest of the swatches are two coats of this gorgeous light almost gray toned blue with a tint of shimmer that isn't all that noticeable unless you're in the right light but makes this polish all that more unique! LOVE LOVE LOVE! :)






Do you have this color or any of the others from the Anchors Away collection? Don't you love it?!
