China Glaze Island Escape (Haul, Review & Swatches)

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. 
Swatch:
 With Flash
Without Flash
Notes: This was three coats.
Cha Cha Cha
This is a bright lime green with yellow iridescence.
Swatch:
With Flash
 Without Flash
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:
With Flash
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.  
Swatch:
With Flash
 Without Flash
Note: This was one coat.
Señorita Bonita 
I would describe this as a bright violet with pink shimmer. (On a sidenote: I really think this name is cute)
Swatch:
With Flash
 Without Flash
Note: This was three coats.
108 Degrees
To me this is a red cherry with pink shimmer. 
Swatch:
With Flash
 Without Flash
Note: This was three coats. 
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).

Bright Lime Green Old Nail Of The Moment

As the title says this is an old NOTM. Currently I can not use nail polish on my finger nails because they are weak (Long Story which involves acrylic) But any who I wanted to show you what I was wearing. I first used wetnwild nail polish in the shade 225C Sage in the City (Fast Dry Line). After I used China Glaze Crackle in the shade 980 Black Mesh (Black Crackle) on all my fingers but my left ring finger. On my left ring finger I used China Glaze Crackle in 982 Broken Hearted (Pink Crackle). But I have no pictures with the crackle on :'(. So here are pictures of wetnwild nail polish in Sage in the City.

Gold Mode Nails Of The Moment & Review

I am using wetnwilds nail polish in The Gold & the Beautiful. It is part of their new fast dry collection. This collection came out with 18 nail polishes. All the nail polishes name are inspired by tv shows. The tv show in this case is The Bold & the Beautiful.
So here is some basic info on the nail polish:

Amount: It has .46 fl. oz./ 13.5 mL of product.

Availability: You should be able to find this in any drugstore with wetnwild. (I am referring to the US, I am not sure about other places, sorry)

Applicator: There is a new applicator, which is the Manicurve brush. It is not too big or small. I really like it because it makes it easier to paint my nails. Since it is rounded in the ends it does not get all over the place.

Price: It retails for $1.99.

Pigmentation: This needed more than one coat. I ended up using three coats.

Wear:  I was able to wear it for three days with no chipping. This is really good in my case because all nail polishes I have tried chip the same day. ( I do use a base coat & a top coat)

So does it really dry quickly? A coat drys in a minute. This might vary depending on how much you put on.

So here is a swatch of the nail polish:
