Recently I was able to find China Glaze's summer collection, which is Island Escape. It has six new nail polishes. This is what the display looks like:

There are two different finishes which are crème (some say neon instead) & shimmer. The six nail polishes are Blue Iguana, Cha Cha Cha, Electric Pineapple, Papaya Punch, Señorita Bonita, & 108 Degrees.

Polish Overview:

Blue Iguana

I would describe this color as a teal with blue shimmer.

Notes: This was three coats.
Cha Cha Cha

This is a bright lime green with yellow iridescence.

Note: This was one coat.
Electric Pineapple

This shade for me is a little hard to describe. I would say it is a bright yellow green. This is one of the shades that has a crème finish.

Swatch:

Without Flash

Note: This was three coats.
Papaya Punch

When I see this shade I do not see papaya I think of mangos. I would describe this as a bright mango orange. This is the other nail polish in this collection that has a crème finish.

Señorita Bonita

I would describe this as a bright violet with pink shimmer. (On a sidenote: I really think this name is cute)

108 Degrees

To me this is a red cherry with pink shimmer.

Overall I really like this collection. The polish that impressed me the most was Papaya Punch. The reason it impressed me so much was because the pigmentation was amazing and the formula was nice too. I was a little disappointed with Blue Iguana and Senorita Bonita because you need to build them up. No surprise if I could only get one polish it would be Papaya Punch. I am truly surprised that I would choose that one since I LOVE purples & greens. I would have chosen Senorita Bonita if it were pigmented. The reason I did not choose Cha Cha Cha is because I find it to be a generic color. It looks like Sally Hansen Hard As Nails Xtreme Wear in 17 Ivy League (In a future post I will compare the two).
