China Glaze: Unpredictable

Application is thick, but a little streaky. Not uncommon with a duochrome. There are flashes of purple-blue-green-yellow, with mostly green showing in bad/too bright lighting. Some tip wear within 24 hours. Very pretty, but probably not a color I'd go to for prolonged wear. This is two coats with seche vite.

China Glaze: Crackle; Cracked Concrete

This has to be my favorite of the crackles. It's not as stark as the black, subtle enough to wear regularly in any season, and doesn't make me feel like my polish is just terribly chipped and awful looking. The formula was smooth enough that I didn't have to rush to apply more for a decent crackle affect, just make sure you shake it well first. This is over Essie Turquoise & Caicos, with top coat (the crackles dry matte).

China Glaze Tronica: Cyberspace

A subtle beige. I would wear this in an office setting. Very soft looking. Application was smooth. This is 2 coats, I think it could go with 3 though. Out of the Tronica collection I think this will be one I wear regularly.

China Glaze Tronica: Hi Def w/ Gamer Glam accent

I really love these! If you are looking for something with a dramatic holo they may not be for you, but if you take them for what they are they are great colors with a little bit of flare. Hi Def reminds me of blue jeans, it is a low saturation blue that I am able to pull off with a warmer skin tone. Gamer glam is a great dusty purple just slightly darker than OPI Do you lilac it?

I really love Sapphire Silk. It's the perfect classy navy blue. Hologram really shows a lot more gold than any other part of the spectrum. I like it, but there are better out there if you want lots of color changes. Not entirely pleased with the white crackle. It's very hard to work with, and tends to make polish just looked chipped or gross.
