Oldies! China Glaze Sex on the Beach - Swatches and Review

I think Sex on the Beach came out in 2008, but don't hold me to that.

It's a sheer peachy sort of metallic/foil looking finish with peach, pink and gold shimmer.  Application was rather tedious as it's sheer and it was quite runny. I still had visible nail line after 3 coats so I applied a 4th coat and called it good. I did wait a decent amount of time between coats and still it took FOREVER to dry.  I finally gave up, removed it and put something else on. I really don't know if it would have ever dried.

I love China Glaze, but this one was definitely a MISS for me. Which isn't easy. I'm pretty forgiving with nail polish unless it's just really a PITA.

I put on China Glaze Westside Warrior and I was in love with them all over again. =)

As you can see, it not a bad color and the finish is interesting. Not sure I'd call it "sexy" though. What do you think?
