China Glaze Island Escape Week Part 6 Senorita Bonita

It's time for the final polish from China Glaze Island Escape week. Here is Senorita Bonita

Senorita Bonita is a very shimmery Purple Shade, It's like Amethyst packed with pink micro shimmer, which really gives this purple a gorgeous multi tonal effect! This was opaque in 3 coats, so not as sheer as the glass flecks but a little more sheer than the cremes from this collection. This is definitely one of my favourite shades from the Island Escape Collection!

China Glaze Island Escape Week Part 5 Blue Iguana

Today in China Glaze Island Escape Week I have polish number 5 for you: Blue Iguana:

Blue Iguana is the second glass flecked polish from the Island Escape Collection. It is a medium toned blue, and actually applies a little more turquoise on the nails that you would initially think from looking at the bottle, there is a slight hint of purple shimmer at certain angles with this polish, but the effect is very subtle. Much like 108 Degrees, the glass fleck shimmer in this polish really gives it a 3D effect. Another sheer polish this was 3 coats and although there is a hint of VNL in the photos, it was less apparent in real life :) Another gorgeous blue!

China Glaze Island Escape Week Part 4 Cha Cha Cha

Here is China Glaze Cha Cha Cha, for part 4 of China Glaze Island Escape week:

China Glaze Cha Cha Cha, is a gorgeous emerald green polish packed with micro shimmer, it flashes light and dark shades of green as it catches the light, makes me think of apples which is certainly keeping with the fruity summer theme, this was 3 coats, and much like 108 Degrees it is a little sheerer than the cremes from this collection. Cha Cha Chas has a more yellow/golden toned green than Zoya's Apple (pictured below from the Sunshine Collection)

Cha Cha Cha has a very jewel like quality to its finish, and as an avid lover of green polish, I absolutely adore this one, and it's not like any other greens I own.

China Glaze Island Escape Week Part 3 108 Degrees

108 Degrees is the next polish from China Glaze Island Escape Week.

108 Degrees is a gorgeous bright pink glass fleck polish. Having absolutely adored the three glass fleck polishes from the Anchors Away collection (Ahoy!, Lighthouse and White Cap) I was very happy to see another gorgeous one in this collection.

108 Degrees is a little lighter than Ahoy, and has a strong blue undertone to it, it looks absolutely gorgeous on, and the glass fleck effect gives a stunning multidimensional shimmer which simply sparkles like crazy in the sunshine! Another winner from this awesome summery collection. This was 3 coats, and like most glass fleck polishes this is slightly on the sheer side, but I was certainly satisfied with the opacity after 3 coats! Here are more photos :)

China Glaze Island Escape Week Part 2 Papaya Punch

Here is the second polish from China Glaze Island Escape Week: Papaya Punch:

Papaya Punch really is a great name, makes me thirsty every time I write it lol. A vibrant light orange creme polish, Papaya Punch is sure to be an instant hit with all lovers of orange polish, I must confess I'm not a massive fan of orange shades, but I actually really like this one, although it applies a little thick, it has a perfect even coverage and was fully opaque at 2 coats. I'm loving these fruity summer shades, just wish there was some sunshine outside to enjoy them in :(

Papaya Punch is quite similar to Zoya Jancyn, just a touch lighter:

China Glaze Island Escape Week Part 1 Electric Pineapple

This is going to be China Glaze Island Escape Collection week, I will be featuring all six polishes in this awesome collection for summer 2011, First up is one of my standout favourites: Electric Pineapple

Electric Pineapple is an awesome bright yellow creme polish with green undertones that make this colour a lot more interesting. At a first glance Electric Pineapple reminds me a little of OPI Fiercely Fiona from The Shrek Collection, I will try get a swatch up of that one soon to prove this theory :) the colour in the bottle is a lot more true to how this one actually looks on the nails, for some reason my camera made it look a little more yellow on the nails, but captured the exact colour on the bottle, *strange*. This colour is absolutely gorgeous and very summery, I'm really in love with the name as well, I have a feeling I'm going to love this collection, very bright and very summery! This was a little on the thick side but easy enough to apply and completely opaque at 2 coats :D
