    Never Received Item2010-03-101 / 5
    I ordered a nail polish in early February. The tracking number had stated it was mailed from CA but always showed invalid so there were never any updates. Fast forward three weeks, and I still did not have the item. I emailed the company and they said they would send another. I waited over another week and still received nothing. It does not take a month to receive a nail polish in the mail from CA to another state. I am disappointed with not receiving the item and also them not providing a valid tracking number. The only "good" thing is that they refunded my money promptly. Wow. But it would be nice if they would provide their end of the service...the item!
    LOVE this2010-02-075 / 5
    I have been wearing this nail polish for seriously TWO DAYS and I've already gotten multiple compliments, from friends to complete strangers at a restaurant! It is a fun, different color. I would recommend to anyone! China Glaze polish is really the best.
    Great color!2010-01-275 / 5
    What a nice find! I was finding a lot of dark blue and purples I was putting on looked black from a distance and wanted something dark but not black looking and this is a perfect color
    WOW! Totally gorgeous, totally surprised, LOVE IT2010-01-155 / 5
    I only bought this because I could fit one more polish in my order without increasing the shipping, I wanted to try something out of my regular zone of colors and decided to go WAY OUT of my zone. I love black and gray for clothes and household items and pretty much anything - but never for nails. I certainly never thought either should be worn by anyone over 25, 30 at the most. I am creeping out of my 30's soon but figured I could wear it on the weekend, when I'm home, or give it to my nieces if it looks really bad. Obviously I had no plans for this to be anything wearable-since I had figured the options for what if I hate it.

    I LOVE IT! First of all, this was my first time ever trying China Glaze polish - bought a few bottles in this order in different colors. The creme colors like this one are absolutely amazing. I have used the cheapest $1 bottles of polish, Revlon-drugstore/middle of the road, Zoya, up to OPI's DS at $12.50 and was shocked how much better China Glaze (cremes) is better than anything I have ever tried before - EVER. I do my own nails, haven't had a professional manicure in 7 years-since the price has skyrocketed where I live, never heard of China Glaze, and for $3.99 was skeptical - but could get so many more colors for my money, so I took the risk. It is the perfect thickness so you can use only 1 or 2 coats, depending on your preference, has a nice size quality brush, dries nicely and quickly, no streaking, no lifting of the color on the second coat (since I never wait until the first coat dries). When it dries, it is unbelieveably glossy - looks wet for a week. I was afraid to touch anything for 3 hours-because it looked WET! STUNNING, really stunning. I finally was sure it was dry and realized days later, it really stays looking like the first day.

    As for the color, it doesn't look like trendy goth or grunge (as they used to call it),old cement or trendy but tacky, or "I wish I was in high school". It could be worn with your most casual clothes-sweats or a beautiful gray suit, or a charcoal silk dress, no matter, it is so beautiful, I really can't believe it. I didn't use a top coat because it really wasn't needed but about four days into the polish, I tried an OPI DS "Glitter Bit of Music" Top Coat that came with another polish as a bonus item. You can barely see the glitter at all (which I love) but it gives you a sparkle in the light that you can't really tell what it comes from. The next day, I painted the tips (like french manicure) on two of my nails with Opi Coronation (a mild silver, not bling, just silver) to see what it looked like and it was really pretty. Two totally different colors, totally different types of polish, but they blended perfectly and you could tell it was a french man. but just barely. Another time I painted it over China Glaze FOR AUDREY (a beautiful Tiffany blue creme) which changed it a little to have a nice gray/blue tint, another beautiful manicure - that lasted a week.

    Anyway, the point is, it can be worn in so many ways, and be classy. I would bet you could use a matte top coat to change it from glossy to matte if you wanted, I also considered something fun would be a pale pink with it as a french manicure - maybe not for me, perhaps a younger person, I'd have to see it to know if I could pull it off but a Creamy, pastel pink might be nice. This turned out to be a truly Multi-use polish, that started out as a one-time try it out when I don't have to go anywhere.

    For those who can only wear certain colors:
    My skin tone is medium/slightly tan, medium brown hair, and nails are usually medium to short, always trying to get them to grow long, strong and healthy, with only intermittent luck. All of my "gray" manicures were with medium/short nails except the last one over FOR AUDREY, by which time my nails were a solid medium length, close to long. I don't know if the polish kept them healthy enough to grow or not, but they have not broken since I started using the polish in this order (which had a couple OPI and a ZOYA). Keeping them polished at all can be helpful so it may have nothing to do with the China Glaze brand. Because of health reasons, I can't keep them polished as much as I would like, but it's a goal for the new year!

    As for the seller - NailsEtc., they were quick, got the order here by Christmas, even though it wasn't likely to get here in time, well packaged, and good prices. HOWEVER, the shipping is outrageous. It is better than a number of other nail polish sellers on (some charge $2-4 per bottle, no matter how many you get) but it's not worth the cheap prices if you don't get multiple bottles-but not too many. Only a bottle or two and you pay the same or more for each bottle than a regular price seller - too many bottles and the shipping price jumps WAY up. I say "bottles" but it is based on the amount of money you spend, not number of bottles so if you get a few expensive items, it may be a smaller package and weigh less, and technically cost much less to ship, but you actually get charged much more to ship. BE CAREFUL, and check the shipping prices before clicking to purchase.
    Yay!2009-10-305 / 5
    This color looks amazing on my fair skin! It's funky enough for the fashionistas out there but subtle enough to wear in the office.

    When I ordered it I was wondering if I had made the right choice and I'm very happy with it!
