Press Release: China Glaze Poolside

SPEND SUMMER BY THE POOLSIDE IN CHINA GLAZE
Six New Neons Sure To Make The Summer Sizzle
Los Angeles, CA – (February 2010): Lounging poolside, sipping on a drink and reading the latest magazine…makes you think of Summer doesn’t it? The only thing missing is that perfect manicure and pedicure! Dip into the summer with some of the brightest and most amazing neons from the China Glaze Poolside collection! Perfect for fingers, and especially the toes, nothing says Summer of 2010 like a couple coats of bright polish! The 6 colors in the Poolside collection include:
• Pool Party: Neon Pink
• Flip Flop Fantasy: Neon Coral
• Sun Worshipper: Neon Orange
• Yellow Polka Dot Bikini: Neon Yellow
• Kiwi Cool-Ada: Neon Green
• Towel Boy Toy: Neon Blue
As for most neons, these tend to finish drying on the matte side…But no fear, getting that gorgeous shine is only a top coat away! Try China Glaze Patent Leather Top Coat. Once you get a look at your China Glaze neon nails glimmering underwater and in the sun, you’re never going to want to take these polishes off!
China Glaze Poolside launches April 1st 2010, for international and domestic.
*Please note that like most neon polishes, the first layer will look extremely opaque and thin. You will need to build up to desired coverage and always remember to let each layer dry completely before applying the next. This will help prevent streaks and missing patches of color on the nail bed.
China Glaze Nail Lacquers have a suggested retail price of $6.50 each.
China Glaze is a division of American International Industries. China Glaze nail lacquers are free of DBP, Toluene and added Formaldehyde. They are available at Sally Beauty and through salons and professional beauty supply stores nationwide

NOTD: Essie Damsel in a Dress

This is kind of funny- I am working so hard to make it through my un-trieds, even thinking about doing a no-buy until I am done, and then I picked a color I've already worn for this NOTD!
Regardless, I do like it. It played really well with Seche Vite and there was absolutely no shrinkage when I woke up the next morning. This is only 2 coats of color and the coverage was adequate.
Hopefully next time I'll pick an actual untried color. I think I was going for Rock Star Skinny and grabbed the wrong one.....
