CHINA GLAZE Innocence

Good afternoon, ladies! I hope you all had a relaxing weekend. Guess what movie comes out this weekend?! Magic Mike! I am trying to plan a trip to visit my sister, Jessica, in Maryland so we can see it together.

Today's NotD is CHINA GLAZE Innocence. This was an impulse grab from CG's selection of stock colors at my Sallys. I grabbed it because I have been hankering for one of the OPI Ballet polishes and this looked like the next best thing and was right in front of me. I am super glad I grabbed it, I love this color. I have it on my toes right now too as a base color to a french pedi. My husband came home today and I was trying to show him my freshly painted nails and he just said, "I don't see anything. It looks like your nails." That is what I love about sharing my polish with you girls who can appreciate it!

Ok, enough gabbing. Innocence is a milky pink, very sheer cream that wants to be a jelly. It has a thin formula but yet it applied beautifully. It was very easy to work with and not the least bit of streaking. For a sheer polish that is great! I had a VNL after 2 coats, but because it's a sheer color I don't mind at all. You could layer on some more polish if you wanted a less noticeable VNL I imagine.

I don't know if you can pick up what I meant by wanting to be a jelly in the second photo. It almost to me has a borderline shiny squish to it. I love it. I think Innocence was a great name for it as well. I love the delicateness of a great sheer polish. It makes you look fabulously chic without having to make a statement. Don't get me wrong, I love a good bright color and glitters too! It just depends on my mood. Today I wanted a relaxed look.

What is your favorite sheer polish?

Thanks for popping in!

  1. You know I love this look! This is absolutely lovely on you. My favorite sheer would have to be Lyre from OPI Ballet, but Tutu is a close second. <3

  2. I can totally see what you mean about it wanting to be a jelly--and such a pretty colour! I think I'm going to have to add this to my collection. I'm crazy about bold, bright colours on my nails, but sometimes you do want simple and sweet. ;)

  3. I love this polish! My bottle of it is half done! I think I swatched mine at either 3 or 4 coats, but it looks good at 2 coats, too!
