China Glaze – a true play on words, genuinely American made, with a purposely chosen ambiguous name: "China" signifies "China," and "Glaze" refers to "porcelain." The primary ingredient in the nail polishes is kaolin (white porcelain clay), first discovered in China, which inspired the brand name's playful wordplay.
The polish creates a flawless coating while protecting the nail plates. Its high pigment content ensures the porcelain shine of the polish lasts, and thanks to a harmonious blend of resin and polymers, chipping is prevented, drying time is accelerated, and the color remains vibrant for a long duration. The new formula, crafted utilizing cutting-edge technologies, means China Glaze polish dries in a minute, is durable, and over time, it neither loses its saturation nor its shine.
-
Before applying the main layer of nail polish, it's important to apply a thin base coat to the nail surface. This helps to prevent direct contact of your nails with the coloring pigments and other chemicals in the polish. To extend the durability of your nail polish, it is recommended to use a top coat.

The colors are very beautiful and vibrant. The brush is small, making it not very convenient to apply, but it looks great with three layers, although it takes a long time to dry. On my nails, this nail polish is of high quality and expensive, and it lasts for more than two weeks, while this one lasted for four days, which is not bad. It quickly wears off at the tips of the nails, but it can be touched up. I will continue testing and adding to my impressions in the future, if I don't forget. I have used it a few times already, and these are my initial impressions.
The nail polish is very poor quality. It feels like it was diluted with the wrong solvent. It applies unevenly and chips off on the same day, even when you're not doing anything.
About the color, it seems to be the same as on the website, well, it depends on the contrast settings on your computer. The application is a bit uncomfortable due to the large brush, but that may vary depending on personal preference. I liked the nail polish, so I will definitely buy it again. And the fact that it is cruelty-free is a huge plus.
The color I received does not match the one shown on the website. Instead of a burgundy shade, it is a bright red. I am disappointed because I specifically wanted a deep red color.
I had a terrible experience with these nail polishes. I bought them in colors 1218 (blue) and 1310 (green). The blue one is like watercolor - there is no color payoff, it goes on in patches, even after applying 4 layers. The green one is slightly better, but not by much. After applying 3 layers, the color starts to show up, but it goes on unevenly and also in patches. I am very dissatisfied.
Shade 81098 - Hopeful is more of a white-beige color rather than a pale pink. I didn't like it at all. It requires at least three coats for a decent coverage, and it dries at an average speed while also forming bubbles. I was hoping it would be a higher quality alternative to the Topface Lasting Color Nail Polish in shade 004, but it didn't meet my expectations. Topface dries faster, and you can apply layers one after another, achieving a more delicate and pleasant color with a hint of pink and a slightly translucent nail plate. This one turned out to be worse for me.
80930 is an excellent nail polish! It is easy to apply, not thick, and dries quickly. The color matches the photo on the website. One coat provides good coverage, but two coats are even better. It lasted for 3 days without a base coat or top coat, but then the tips started to wear off.
I was amazed by the amount of nail polish. It applies perfectly in just one coat. A huge plus is the thin brush, making it easy to paint.
Color 81193 is a beautiful olive shade. At first, it streaks a little and requires 2-3 coats, which I'm not particularly fond of. However, color 81356 is a stunning blue-violet shade that only needs one coat to look perfect.
Shade #70528 "Rich and famous". In my understanding, this color is fuchsia, or maybe not. But it is very beautiful. It has a creamy texture, it applies easily and dries quickly, just like all the "teapots". With two coats, it looks simply amazing, but it doesn't get along with all top coats.
This nail polish is of excellent quality! It's truly remarkable for its price. It goes on smoothly in just one coat and dries quickly. The color looks very luxurious as well! I will definitely try other shades from this brand. I highly recommend it.
Great nail polish. The color shore enough is a beautiful green. It looks great for a watermelon manicure - the color of the skin.
The nail polish is vibrant and summery, just as the manufacturer claims, with a fuchsia color. Personally, I find the brush to be very thin. Overall, the product is decent.
I have been wanting this color for a very long time. It's absolutely amazing.
This product is awesome.
Stone cold, the nail polish has a creamy texture and comes with a thin brush, which is not very convenient. It dries instantly and has a matte finish. The color is like freshly laid asphalt with a hint of shimmer. However, the tips start to wear off by the next day.
Terrible nail polish. I have the shade Stone Cold. I did my manicure in the evening, and it started chipping the next day. I will attach a photo. On two nails, I used the Astra nail polish - everything is fine with it. This one, with a top coat, couldn't withstand regular household chores. Its only plus is that it dries very quickly. But that's also a drawback because applying it becomes torture. You don't even have time to paint your nail with a thin brush, as it clumps up and forms lumps. Maybe it's just this particular color, I don't know. But I won't be buying this brand again.
This time I chose shade 80617 - Stone cold. The tone is like stone with just one application, and with a fixative, it looks like wet asphalt.
I tried the 81196 - Snap My Dragon nail polish and I really liked it. The brush is easy to use and the polish applies smoothly. It can even be applied in just one coat, although I personally applied two coats. The shade is like a red with hints of raspberry, giving it a slight raspberry undertone.
I didn't like the nail polish. I was lucky and got a non-crackle one and none of the other specific consistencies. I bought a holographic one, but it's not even close to being holographic. At best, it gives a hint of it, but this review is not about that. I want to talk about the quality of the nail polish and its effect on nails. Let me start with the only positive aspect: it dries quickly. However, the nail polish itself chips quickly, sits on the nails unattractively, and most importantly, it damages the nails. The nail plate becomes thin and the nails break. Unfortunately, that's the quality I experienced.
Shade Seduce me. Beautiful and intense. A bit unruly while still liquid, but I believe it will thicken a little over time. Dries quickly. Applies evenly in one coat.
Shade 80617 Stone Cold is an asphalt color with very fine silver sparkles, giving it a matte finish. As mentioned below, this shade is perfect for black lovers. I tried adding a glossy top coat to it, but it turned out poorly. The color faded and became just a dark shade with an unclear shine. Its essence lies in its matte finish. I also attempted to create a black glossy French manicure, but again, it was a miss. Stamping, on the other hand, seemed to add some variety to it.
The polish actually dries while you're still painting. It immediately becomes matte, within 10 seconds of application. You can either fix it right away as soon as you make a stroke or add another layer on top. I didn't find the need for a base coat as it doesn't affect the color in any way. Additionally, these polishes have very thin brushes, so they can be quite challenging for wider nails.
In terms of longevity, with just one coat and no matte top coat, it started chipping on the third day. With two coats, the nails were less damaged, but there were already tiny half-millimeter chips.
Shade 80885 Wagon Trail is a deep brown with a golden shimmer. It doesn't streak in one coat, but personally, I preferred it on a black base - the color becomes more intense (top finger - the polish itself in one coat, bottom finger - the polish in one coat on a black base).
Shade 81352 Public relation is similar to graphite: it is a deep gray color with a very shiny finish. It can be applied in stripes with one layer (on the left), or with a second layer (on the right), or it goes well on a black base. With my work on the laptop, it lasted for two weeks before the first chipped edges - it is my absolute record among nail polishes. I didn't cover it with anything on top.
"Budding Romance" is a unique shade of young foliage, somewhat translucent, and there's something captivating about it. Just to be safe, I bought an extra one.
Aztec Orange - closer to a juicy bright red, despite the name, it has little orange undertones. It has a slightly jelly-like texture and even with three thin coats, it still shows some translucency. The polish lacks shine on its own, so a top coat is needed.
The product with code 70640 turned out to be matte, although it's strange that this is not mentioned on the packaging. It applies quite awkwardly, with streaks and a transparent texture. In the photo, it is shown with three layers. However, the color is rich and beautiful.
I give it 3 stars for the variety of colors available and how accurately they match in real life. However, the nail polish is of poor quality as it is very runny. It requires three coats and chips off quickly.
Shade #80316 "Stroll". Raspberry jelly with golden and dark red flecks of mica. Applies smoothly, dries quickly, but requires three coats and a mirror-like top coat for a glossy finish. Without the top coat, it has a semi-matte finish. One of the favorites in my extensive collection.
Surprisingly, this nail polish is truly long-lasting! Regular polishes usually don't last more than two days on me, but this one lasted almost a week. I chose the classic red shade and I really liked it.
The nail polish looks beautiful in the bottle, but it is terrible on the nails. I have tried it with a base coat and without, but the polish streaks and does not spread evenly. It has a consistency similar to a dried out and watered-down cheap polish. Maybe I got a defective one, or I just don't know what to think.
This nail polish is excellent for its price. I wear it on my hands for 3-4 days and on my feet for over a week. The jar has a good volume and the shades are beautiful. I have 4 universal tones, two semi-transparent nudes, and two with shimmer. It's perfect for any occasion! The only downside for me is that the brush is a bit thin, but that's just my personal preference as I prefer wider brushes.

Product Review: Branding Iron Model 80879
I recently purchased the Branding Iron Model 80879, and I am very pleased with my purchase. The branding iron is not only beautiful, but it also has a deep, dense texture. The red color is vibrant and matches the photo perfectly. It applies evenly and looks great with just two coats.
I was especially impressed with the brush that came with it. It is thin, soft, and applies the paint smoothly without leaving any streaks. The color goes on uniformly, and it dries quickly.
Overall, I am very satisfied with this product. Thank you!
Where is my review? The black nail polish is not of good quality. Don't buy it.
The color "Omg a ufo" is very beautiful! The nail polish applies evenly, the brush is comfortable to use, it dries very quickly, and it stays on well. I have also ordered 2 more colors.
Product Review: Fairy Dust in shade 70563 is an incredibly striking top coat! The fine glitter particles make it sparkle beautifully in both sunlight and under indoor lighting. In the photos, I applied it over a dark blue base, and the effect was stunning. It does take a bit of time to dry, but once it sets, it lasts for several days without chipping.
I am writing a new review about nail polishes. I just received a package and I have 7 new shades.
1) Angel's Breath - a semi-transparent milky nude, two coats are needed. It looks very delicate for everyday wear.
2) Fuchsia Fanatic - a true muted fuchsia, like a flower, not neon. A very beautiful color, one coat is enough, or two for a solid glossy finish.
3) Exquisite - a stunning semi-transparent shimmering polish, it shines a lot. One coat is enough for a super everyday look, delicate and not flashy.
4) Call of the wild - a deep chocolate glossy color, one coat is enough, or two for a solid glossy finish.
5) Jungle queen (in general, I have 4 polishes from this series) - a complex gray-purple color, I love such shades, it goes well with any clothing and season. One coat is enough, or two for a solid glossy finish.
6) Pink Plumeria - matte finish, bright coral, but thanks to the matte effect, it looks dignified and modern. Two coats are needed.
7) Cherish - fantastic, gray-green metallic, closer to mint, one coat, solid coverage. I think it is very long-lasting.
TIP - always check swatches online before purchasing, that's how I always chose. I probably already have about 15 polishes from this brand, they don't spoil or dry out for years, they dry instantly, and they last 2-4 days depending on dishwashing, and most importantly - they don't damage the nails at all.
Color 81795. It does not match the picture at all. In reality, it is an acidic pink. The brush is long and very thin. It is very rare, requiring at least 3 coats for full coverage.
70563 is a very beautiful color with a fine and varied shimmer of different colors on a transparent base.
The color is very different from the color in the photo, you should consider that in reality it is much lighter and applies semi-transparently. I bought 70526. Here it is cold, almost brown, in reality it is more reddish-orange and transparent. It stays well and lasts long enough.
Shade 1083 Love's a beach is beautiful and vibrant on its own. However, there is a constant and inexplicable fallout of glitter at the bottom. It takes effort and time to mix them back in, and the same thing happens in the bottle by the next day. Sometimes, when applied without stirring, it turns into a pink-red jelly without shimmer. It is juicy and summery!
I bought item 81100. It doesn't match the picture at all. It's a waste of money. It's transparent, colorless, and doesn't even have a special shine. I do not recommend this item.
Hello everyone, for now I'll leave a review about the color and how the nail polish is applied, later I'll add how it wears.
So, the color is 212, a classic red I would say. The brush is convenient and the nail polish is a bit runny, but it's not a problem for me since I always apply multiple layers. With the Orly top coat, it dried quickly.
I tried to capture the purple hue, but in my opinion, it didn't quite work. In real life, the nail polish looks much more interesting. The shade is Queen B #1231.
I purchased another shade, #1231 "Queen B". It is a dark blue color with hints of purple or gray, depending on the lighting. It is a beautiful and unique shade. The consistency is not thick, it applies easily and dries quickly, leaving a lovely shine. It is a fantastic nail polish. I highly recommend it.
I bought it with sparkles. The sparkles stick to everything horribly - clothes, hair. And they come off quickly. I didn't like it.
Shade 70345. Important: This nail polish is matte, although it is not indicated on the bottle. Pros: It has a shimmery texture typical of China Glaze polishes, and it has a moderate scent. In this shade, the consistency is slightly thicker with a moderate drying speed. The color! The beauty of this color is simply indescribable, it is unique. In the attached photo, the polish is shown on the third day of wear with a glossy top coat. In reality, the shade is more turquoise. Cons: The polish streaks (for this reason, I am deducting a star) and cannot be worn with just one coat on the base - there are noticeable bald spots. This problem is solved with a second coat. Overall, the beauty of the color makes up for the cons, and I enjoy wearing it - others also like it.
Shade 70297 - does not match the photo, in reality turned out to be pale pink metallic, also beautiful, but slightly different from what I wanted when ordering. The longevity was also disappointing, as it chipped on the second day.
I ordered 81326 are you jelly? The photo made it look more like fuchsia, with a violet shade, which is why I decided to order it. But even online, they described it as a violet jelly(( I'm disappointed, as it is actually a pure pink color, with a liquid consistency and an uncomfortable brush, considering the price I paid((( I do not recommend it.
The color of the polish is just as I expected. It is a beautiful deep graphite shade that dries to a matte finish. However, these are its only advantages. I applied it at 3:00 PM, and by 7:00 PM, it started to chip little by little. I didn't do anything with my hands, I was just at a cafe with a friend. The next day, I had to remove it because my nails looked really sad.
I have purchased nail polish from this brand before in America, and everything was fine. It was long-lasting, opaque, and so on.
I have learned my lesson...
I already have 5 nail polishes from this brand - I am very satisfied! Because of my individual preference, I don't use gel manicure services, so I am always in search of a good, long-lasting, and high-quality nail polish. I choose them based on swatches online, where I enter the shade name and look at real photos. Here are the ones I have:
1) Float On - a beautiful pink shade in Barbie style, with a dense "cream" texture. It has very good pigmentation, and you can apply just one coat.
2) Black Diamond - a graphite polish with small specks of glitter. It requires two coats.
3) Hopeful - my favorite among the nude shades. It has a great consistency and color. You can apply one coat for a more sheer look or two coats for a more opaque color.
4) Cashmere Creme - a delicate brownish pearl shade. It has a decent density, and you can apply one or two coats.
5) Exotic Encounters - a pine green shade with hints of emerald. It has a very beautiful cool tone. It requires two coats.
They dry very quickly! The lasting power is excellent! Comparable to the French brand Le Poli.
I also purchased one shade upon request, but I can't remember the name. It is an absolutely perfect brown shade, very pigmented.
I recommend them to everyone! Especially when the shades are on sale.
The colors are beautiful and easy to apply, requiring at least 2 coats. However, they are not long-lasting at all. Even with a base coat, the tips become very worn after just 2 days. It is impossible to determine the shelf life of these nail polishes. They have been sitting for over a year and it is unclear whether they can still be used or not.
80614 - a trendy shade for autumn. Rich cocoa or black coffee with a pink undertone, whichever you prefer. I highly recommend it.
Product Review:
The color is absolutely stunning. However, it can be quite challenging to apply. It requires three coats in most areas, and in some spots, even four coats are necessary.
The shade 80386 turned out to be a mica with a delicate shimmer in the form of golden-pink particles, absolutely not vulgar. It can be applied as a standalone product or as a top coat over any shade of nail polish.
Shade 81476 - looks different than in the photo. Stunning! It's a blend of the finest shimmer of raspberry sparks and larger silver ones, with a subtle lemon and greenish undertone visible only at a certain angle. It lasts long and has a smooth, scratch-resistant surface. I applied it over other nail polishes and on its own - very intriguing!
I ordered 2 nail polishes from this company because I had heard about their phenomenal quality. And yes, the quality is superb! The bottles are big!
I got the shade Black Diamond (I was expecting a deep glossy black, but it turned out to be graphite - a black-grey pearl - but it's my own fault, I should have looked at swatches) and Cat on Wild (just like in the photo, a deep brown gloss). You can confidently place an order!
The nail polish is horrible! It's even worse than the cheapest ones out there. It streaks a lot and doesn't adhere well to the base coat at all. In the photo, I had to apply 4 layers!!!))))) It's not worth the money, I won't buy it again. I got this shade, 81318 - Sun Of A Peach, and in the photo, it looked quite beautiful, but in real life, it looks like a bright, doll-like peach.
I bought shade 80208 and made a mistake with the tone. On the screen, it had a bluish hue and looked like a chameleon. However, it turned out to be a shimmering dark gray. I don't even know how to use it.
I ordered shade 80414, expecting a more coral tone, but it turned out to be closer to pink. However, that's alright. It dries normally and doesn't streak. The color is shimmering and vibrant. We'll test its staying power.
