Initially, I wasn’t all that sure what to make of the China Glaze Spring Summer collection. I was certainly grateful that I didn’t have an immediate “NEED!” reaction to the entire collection. Having said that, I did pick up half of the range. Ha!
This was sent to me in a swap by Ange. I had expected from previous swatches that it was going ot be a generic baby blue pastel, all the rage for Spring as per usual. Well. How wrong was I? Sea Spray could possibly be one of the most interesting polishes in my collection. Blimey. Weren’t expecting that, were we?
I’ve had issues sometimes with China Glaze polishes only really lasting a day or two before I experienced bad tipwear, but I had none of that with Sea Spray. What you’re seeing here is two
coats, with a layer of Nubar Diamont. I ended up painting over it after the third day as there was something else I needed to wear, but it was still looking as good as new.
I felt that the formula was slightly different as well – thicker and requiring a slightly more skilful application but nothing too daunting. I don’t have that many China Glaze cremes but this is certainly the among the best formula that I’ve tried.
And the colour is fantastic. It is blue with a difference – in some lights it appears like a pale grey, and in others, it is definitely blue. It is quirky and a
bit moody, and I really love it. Another of the dingy style pastels that are proving to be so popular at the moment. Sea Spray’s closest relative is probably Essie’s Sag Harbor, but I have to say that I like this a lot more.
So, thanks China Glaze. I tip my (sailor) hat to you as you’ve done something pretty good here. What do you all think?

HiSweetie, I LOVE it.. Really love it <3
I only got this one and Pelican Gray but they both bubbled terribly on me. Disappointed since I love both:(
This looks greenish on my monitor. Looks like murky waters. I do like this. It’s on my list to order.
I love the China Glaze Anchors Away collection. There are so many great colors to choose from. My favorite so far is sea spray, it is the perfect blue grey and complements so much. My next purchase is going to be Ahoy!, it looks like a great pink.
I am glad to be a visitor of this pure site! , appreciate it for this rare information!
