China GlazeQueen B Nail Polish Lacquer with Hardeners 14ml

Bright long lasting colour with good coverage

China Glaze White on WhiteOK so I'd heard good things about China Glaze, and I'd been looking for a white polish to act as a base for some decalsBut really, I wish I had just gone with another Rimmel Lycra Pro polish instead of getting my hopes up for china glaze (incidentally I bought another colour at the same time and I'm disappointed with that one too)My first issue is the polish takes FOREVER to dry - I can guarantee that you need at least two coats of this polish, once you have that second coat on it's vulnerable to dents and smudging for hours on end, which is made even worse if you want to use any kind of stamps or decals, because they require a top coat. This polish is even worse for this than some of the dirt cheap polishes I've purchased in the pastMy second issue with this is the brush - it's so thin that it makes application awkward. Why does it make it awkward you ask? because you need many strokes to cover the nail, and each stroke messes up the previous one - I'll never understand why these horrible thin brushes are so common, when a broader, flatter brush makes much more sense for simple application to the nail - this polish is actually easier to apply with one of my nail art brushes - so why not just dispense with the brush altogether? Because I purchased the white polish, it's especially important to have even coverage, because the white really shows up the areas where the polish is thinnerFinally, the staying power is just mediocre, chips the day after application and once there's a chip the polish just flakes away - once again, I've had cheap polishes that lasted longer back in the days that I used to bite my nails - the only way I can get this polish to last more than a couple of days is to use a gel top coat on it.In short - slow drying, rubbish brush, poor staying power - I have no idea what people are raving about.

The picture used to represent the product is the colour of the old version of Flip Flop Fantasy. When I received my bottle in the post today, and discovered how orange it was, I thought I'd got the wrong polish, or one from a crappy batch. A little investigation showed that China Glaze had reformulated the famous Flip Flop Fantasy, and they changed the colour in the process.I've added a picture, the old formula is pictured on the left, and is a lot more pink/coral, whereas the new one is more orange/peach.EDIT: If you're looking for a similar polish to the original FFF, I would highly recommend China Glaze's Thistle Do Nicely. It is a little pinker than FFF, but you won't be faced by this orange-y disgrace.This is a neon polish, and due to the pigments they contain, these polishes (no matter the brand) are a little weird. I would recommend painting your nails white before applying your chosen neon shade, so as to make the shade pop and so that you don't have to battle for more than a coat (although I would recommend two, but not more) with the slightly thicker and more chalky formulas of neon shades.

Looked quite orange in the bottle. However applies very sheer with glittery specks. Effect is very subtle and colour is very close to the colour of my fingers. Was undecided as to the colour, but having worn this for a few days, it has really grown on me. Elegant, natural, day time sophistication. Not chipped so far after 3 days, but I did apply base and top coat. Pleased with this.

This colour is very bright to say the least - but I'm the sort of person who likes it loud :)It's a very neon colour, especially in sunlight. It's also a slightly pinker coral in my opinion, less orange than the picture looks. I've uploaded my own image for comparison but it's a tad low quality I'm afraid. The polish needs a few coats to get a solid, even colour, and leaves an odd matte finish. To get a nice long-lasting gloss, I always use a topcoat, and heartily recommend seche vite as my miracle product!I do really like this polish for it's unique colour, and can't wait to wear it on my holidays with a tan.

My first and last China glaze purchase. You can not trust the photo of the brand. I ordered Lotus Begin, a purpe- pinkish color, what it is a greyish purple, NOTHING like on the picture.

I was excited to get this China Glaze polish as I had heard such good things about it. The shade is absolutely gorgeous it is by far THE brightest nail colour I have ever seen, it is almost distracting! A very nice coral shade perfect for the summer if you wanted something more adventurous than traditional red. The only down side is the fact that it chips quite easily ( 3 chipped nails in 24 hours) despite saying it has 'hardeners' and it 'hard wearing' but still a great varnish and I will continue to buy more shades!

Love this polish. Pic is a pretty good representation of the colour, but I always look up swatches. Price was great too, very happy.
