China Glaze Nail Polish, Temptation Carnation 156

I have bought several china glaze recently and this Neon Orange Knockout is the perfect neon orange (especially when compared to China Glaze Home Sweet House Music, which isn't very neon and looks more yellow orange). Trying to get an accurate picture of the color wasn't working...it is actually a brighter, standout, 100% neon orange in person. (I did not add a top coat in photo and it is with 3 coats). Compared to other CG polishes this one seems to dry alot faster and is more of a matte style after drying. As for China Glaze as a brand...I used to think OPI was best brand but when looking for a cheaper but good quality polish, China Glaze is great! Overall, when comparing CG to OPI, I think they are pretty close in quality and how long they last before chipping, except I have noticed that most of CG are little less opaque and require extra coat than it usually takes most of the OPI colors. I will also say that I wish they had a little bit of a thicker brush or that it was a flatter brush rather than rounded. Overall, I'm falling in love with CG as good priced alternative!!

I just really like this brand. It goes on smooth and even and the price just can't be beat. Try it with the China Glaze matte top coat for the look of an expensive shellac manicure from the salon. Most recently, I used it on my 17 year old daughter for a school date-dance. I put it on on a Wednesday for the Saturday event. On Saturday, I checked to see if it needed a touch up. Nope. Still perfect. She made it 8 or 9 days before the first chip. I was able to dot some on and it blended in just fine. I swiped it with the matt top coat again and she was able to get 12 days out of the manicure before it all had to come off and start over. I have bottles that I've had for two and three years and they haven't become thick and hard to apply yet! I'm very pleased with the quality and color selection.

I ordered a peach and a medium blue color and really like both. The polish is a cream type but there is no streaking and it dries quickly. Coverage is good with two coats and it wears as expected, about 4-5 days on finger nails and over two week on toes.

For the past 21 years, I have had my nails done at the salon. Started with Acrylic then the last year I switched to Gel, and then doing the Gel at home by myself. Almost 2 years ago, I took it all off and am just letting my natural nails heal and grow. I finally have long nails again and wanted to start painting them. Amazon has everything, so why not shop nail polish?! I've used China Glaze before and have never had any issues with it. Until now. And it's not a huge issue, but for me, it's an issue. I bought this purple "Creative Fantasy" because I love purple. And this looked <in the descriptions' photo> exactly like the color of my Dodge Charger, so I had to get it! I wasn't sure if it was going to be a Matte or Shiny, because of the photo. I got my polish yesterday and today I did my nails. I took photos so you could see what the polish looks like after each layer. So here goes...before I start, I have to say it was hard taking photos that showed what it truly looked like. And...the clear shiny stuff on my cuticles is that stuff you paint on to keep the polish off of the skin.<I really stink at applying nail polish!> I also applied a layer of clear base coat. <I don't want my nails turning purple!!> This is what i used...https://smile.amazon.com/PUEEN-Cuticle-Barrier-Protector-BH000584/dp/B016LIABMQ/ref=sr_1_3_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1508195189&sr=8-3&keywords=latex+nail+polish+barrier The 1st two photos show the first layer of polish on both hands. You can see it's super thin, and kind of matte looking. The next 2 photos show the 2nd layer of polish on both hands. Still hard to show how matte it really is...it's not a "true" matte - it just looks like there's a "film" on the polish....it's definitely not clear and shiny. Next 2 photos are with 3 layers. Yes, I had to apply 3 layers so there weren't any lines in my polish...see-through lines. This polish is not consistent. The next 2 photos show a clear glossy top coat. You can also see that I peeled off the skin barrier <in a little pink blob at the top of the photo. I took all of these photos inside, in my living room, with normal lighting. You can see how dark the polish looks. Not what I was looking for, but it's still a pretty, dark purple. I went outside in the sun, and took 2 more photos so you can see what it looks like outside. Those are the last 2 photos - you can see this is a VIVID purple. So, I had to apply a base coat, 3 layers of Creative Fantasy purple, and a clear glossy top coat. It took forever!!! I took 1 star away because it shouldn't be this hard to get the color of nail polish you thought you were getting...and it shouldn't take so long! Also, the fact that this is not a glossy nail polish...I'd say "Semi Gloss" at best. I don't like Matte nail polish...I don't know why - I just don't. I can't say if this chips, or how well or how long this will "wear" because I just applied it today <October 16>. But I will come back and update in a week or two...with photos. I will keep this because it is a pretty purple, but I will give "We Got The Beat" a try as that says "long lasting shine" so I know that's a gloss polish...and maybe another color or 2.

This has been my favorite color for a few months. When I ran out of it, I tried finding another brand that had a color similar, and I couldn’t find anything quite like this color. I get a lot of compliments when wearing it. I used two coats over a ridge filler base and it gives a beautiful even color. The brush is easy to apply.

I REALLY am happy that I did some reading of nail polish reviews! I LOVE China Glaze Products! I purchased the China Glaze adhesion base coat and the fast forward top coat, along with several of their colors. I could not be happier!! Their Nail Lacquer with Hardeners is awesome! If you use the base and top coats with their colors and follow the recommendations, China Glaze products DO NOT CHIP! They are also very quick drying. The products are not thick or stringy. The brush is wide and the polish goes on smoothly! The Temptation Carnation color is a light rose gold color. It is subtle, but very pretty. The Pearl Jammin color is a more bluish white color - also subtle. I put several colors on one hand. The Temptation Carnation is on my little finger, the Pearl Jammin is on my pointer finger and the Iridescent is on my ring. The results actually look much better than the closeup photo makes them look… The ONLY con I have found is that the polish top/brush is very short and kind of hard to hold on to. But it’s not enough of a con for me to review any less than 5 stars!!

La couleur est translucide et il faut un nombre incalculable de couche pour avoir une couleur assez convenable. Il ne tient pas non plus très longtemps... Bref ce n'est pas un bon achat.

Gorgeous colour. Love this polish. A salon favourite.

Was soll ich sagen..... Die Farbe ist der absolute Hammer (Wenn man auf Neon steht)!!! Hält ewig.... Deckt gut.... Trocknet innerhalb von Sekunden.... Und lässt sich super wieder entfernen. Ich finde ihn mit Überlack noch schöner weil er sonst sehr matt ist. Super schnelle Lieferung. Alles top! Immer wieder gerne!

The pigment is not a good quality one & removal was not clean like the usual China Glaze nail polish. I fear it’s not a genuine product.

This is a new varnish to me but I was pleased with the colour the staying power three days and only one little chip could have lasted longer but I really tested its durability out washed up without gloves gardened without gloves and cleaned ect. very impressed would buy again.
