Hi there! Hope your week is going well! :)
I'm so excited to have a selection of shades from the China Glaze Sunsational Collection to share with you. It's a 12-piece neon collection with six cremes and six jellies, and today I wanted to start off the collection with a favorite of mine. Highlight of My Summer is a bright mint green with a creme finish.
Oh my gosh, I love this color! It's bright and beautiful, and I don't remember a color in recent memory that's quite like it. However, its formula isn't the best. It's kind of thin and runny, but also streaky too, so application is a bit of a challenge. For me, I felt like with each stroke, you have too much polish at the start near the cuticle, but then by the time you reach the free edge, there's some pulling because there isn't enough polish left. I did three coats for the swatches, and while it's still just a smidgen streaky, it wasn't too bad at that point. Dry time is nice and fast, and it dries just a shade brighter on the nails than what you see in the bottle. While application isn't the best, I feel like the beauty and uniqueness of this color totally makes up for it. :)
You can find Highlight of My Summer at your local nail salons and at beauty stores such as Ulta and Sally Beauty for a retail price of $7 for 0.5 fl oz.

Wow, gorgeous color indeed!!! I don't know about the formula though... Application would drive me insane!! But then again, what a color... What to do, what to do???!!! :))
ReplyDeleteHehe I know what you mean. I'll put up with it though in this case cause the color is gorgeous! :)
DeleteI love this colour! The pale mint colour seems to be really on trend for this summer. Good for China Glaze to keep on trend and great swatch :) x
ReplyDeleteThanks, I'm glad you love this! I'm really loving mint at the moment too! :)
DeleteI love the color but haven't picked this one up because I've heard bad things about the color. Too bad, it's so gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you like the color! It's definitely stunning! :)
DeleteWow, this is totally awesome! Too bad the formula was bad...but I'm not too picky if I can get a beautiful end result:)
ReplyDeleteThanks, that's how I feel about this color too! :)
DeleteI'm obsessed with this color! I need it!
ReplyDeleteHehe I'm glad you love it! :)
DeleteWhoa, that's looking amazing!! I like the brightness of it :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, I'm so glad you're a fan of this! :)
DeleteSuch a gorgeous colour. I try to avoid China Glaze polishes because I don't find them as good as OPI or Essie, but they keep coming out with lovely colours!
ReplyDeleteI think it's gorgeous too! Might be worth it to pick this one up. :)
DeleteHaha it's like a neon pastel! So great! One of the best colours I've seen in a while :). Too bad about the formula - I wonder if it's just your bottle
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you love the color! Not sure... I've seen a few others having trouble with this one too. :)
DeleteDespite the tricky application, the color is pretty awesome! I agree, I don't think I've seen anything quite like it before.
ReplyDeleteThanks, I'm glad you're liking this color! :)
DeletePretty color! It's a shame about the formula, but you make it look flawless. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, I'm glad you like it! :)
DeleteBummer about the formula, but it sure is pretty!
ReplyDeleteIt's definitely pretty! :)
DeleteI like it. It is the only one from the collection that appeals to me. Too bad the formula isn't great.
ReplyDeleteLooks nice on you.
Thanks, I'm glad you like this one! :)
DeleteI love that color and am so happy to have it in my stash :)
ReplyDeleteYay, I'm so glad you're a fan of this one too! :)
DeleteOh that is such a gorgeous colour <3
ReplyDeleteThanks, I think so too! <3
DeleteGreat swatch! I think I might need this one. *____*
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, I'm glad you think so! :)
DeleteHi Yun - awwww SOOO beautiful on you, just love it and you are right, nothing like this has been out there yet!!!! I so look forward to seeing your other choices!!! xxx
ReplyDeleteHi Christine, I'm so glad you're liking this one! :)
DeleteOooh. I love a minty green, and this neon take is gorgeous! Looks awesome :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, I'm a huge fan of mint green these too! I'm glad you like this! :)
DeleteI love this colour too. looks great on you :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, I'm glad you think so! :)
DeleteThis is a gorgeous color! It reminds me of Color Club's new London Calling: a bright pastel green! I love it!
ReplyDeleteYay I'm glad you're a fan of this color! :)
DeleteI just got London Calling today and I'm in LOVE with it. I'd love to know how this compares, since the bottle of London Calling is teensy.
DeleteHi Emily! Hmmm... I don't have London Calling myself, so I can't say unfortunately, but in swatches they do appear similar. I think if you love London Calling, you'll probably love Highlight of My Summer too. :)
DeleteThat's beautiful! It seems unique from some of the other neon greens I've seen floating around this summer.
ReplyDeleteA neon mint green! How fun! There *might* be enough blue in this for me to pull off. It sure looks lovely on you. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Liesl, I think this is bright enough that it'll probably look good on anyone. :)
