China Glaze Electropop Collection : the blues!

Today, I really wanted to show you the polishes I've been lemming the most from the China Glaze Electropop collection : Electric Beat, Aquadelic and Kinetic Candy.
There's just something about pastel blues that sets them apart from other pastels...

Electric Beat is a perfect medium muted blue with a periwinkle hue. It's quite similar to Essie Lapis of Luxury, only it's a true creme and a tad bluer, I'd say. Formula was pretty amazing, China Glaze's standard : great opacity and high shine, a little bit on the thick side but in a good way. I can't see any reason not to love it!






Aquadelic is a light aqua (or turquoise) creme. Depending on your skintone, its green tint might look predominant, it's the case for me. I fell in love with Aquadelic the minute I saw the promo pics and even more once I applied it. It's very close to For Audrey but defnitely not a dupe : darker and more saturated. Formula was just as good as Electric Beat, a pleasure to apply.






Kinetic Candy is a very pale blue creme with a slight green hue. Once again, my skintone tends to enhance the green in it... Not that I'd complain! It also has a very flattering dusty look that I really love. As always, great formula.







And finally, here are Electric Beat, Aquadelic and Kinetic Candy side by side :





Overall :
I'm 100% satisfied with my purchase, beautiful shades and easy application, what else could one ask for?
Did you pick any of them?

  3. Those are the 3 that I want from the Electropop Collection plus Gothic Lolita. Light blue/teal is my favourite polish colour so wanting these was a no-brainer. Your swatches are absolutely amazing.

  17. I so want all of these, but I don't know how to get my hands on them... It's kind of difficult (and expensive) to purchase US brands here.
