I must say that I love China Glaze so very very much right now. All of their colors always seem to suit my mood and make me happy while I wear them. Today, I've got two from the Up and Away Collection. These are such great spring colors!
I love Lemon Fizz, although it did give me a small case of lobster hands in this photo. It's such a bright pale lemon color that isn't too pale or too bright. This color may be a soft yellow, but it does command some attention and you won't go unnoticed while wearing it. I'm proud to say this is the only yellow I have that doesn't look horrible on me, hooray!!
Flyin' High looks a little more sky blue than it actually is in this photo. It's got an aqua feel to it that I just can't get over. I've worn this polish for a week straight because it makes me happy. I've gotten quite a few compliments on this one too. I think people cannot help liking colors like this.
I have Four Leaf Clover as well, but I CANNOT for the life of me get an accurate photo. Every time I take a picture I get a blue and not the lovely green that it is. I'll keep trying and see what I come up with.
So, what polishes do you love from this collection?

I've got Luxe and Shine for you today! My Sally's did not have Rage, although I'm not really into rose gold type shades. These are my first two Orly polishes!
Ok, I HATE gold jewelry, but Luxe is the most beautiful shade of gold polish! This one really appeals to me because it is a true gold without leaning toward yellow gaudy-ness. This polish seems to have a super teeny, fine shimmer to it that I can't quite describe. It's pretty much opaque in one coat and a definite must have if you like the look of Minx and foil finished nails!
The sun had just ran behind clouds as I took this photo, but Shine is freaking amazing none the less! This is such a crisp, clean silver and I'm sad that I don't have a better photo for you. Trust me, it's so worth it.
Both of these polishes applied smoothly and I did two thin coats for both. The fact that these are metallics with a foil finish AND not a brush stroke in sight makes me love Orly.
What does everyone think about these polishes?

Once again I'm attempting to go sans shimmer, glitter and OMGLOOKITHOWSHINY. I will say polishes like the following are making the process far less painful. Today, I bring you a member from the OPI Hong Kong Collection (Say that ten times fast).
Jade is the New Black is a really interesting grayed jade creme, with a slightly dusty quality to it. I haven't seen any other greens out there quite like this one. It applied very well and in my case the second coat smoothed out any trouble spots like magic. It is a little thick, so don't go too crazy with that brush.
So if OPI releases cremes that look like this, I'm sure I'll be fully onboard in no time :)
