China Glaze: Sea Goddess Collection Spring 2014- Swatches & Review

Hey guys! It's Friday tomorrow!! I'm excited cause I want to get more swatching done, plus I've been stalking my local nail supply store for the new OPI Brazil collection, they said they should be getting them this week or so, cross my fingers!

Today I have the new China Glaze Sea Goddess Collection for Spring 2014. I actually bought these about 2 weeks ago but never posted it on instagram. I actually haven't heard much about this collection. I didn't really think much of them but I saw them at my nail supply store and just thought that I would buy them. I totally don't regret it, they're so pretty!

The China Glaze Sea Goddess collection consists of 6 new textured polishes: 1 white, 1 purple, 1 blue, 1 green/mint, 2 pinks. Here's a list of them and their descriptions:



  • Sand Dolla Make You Holla: white polish with rainbow glitter
  • Shell We Dance?: pink polish  with silver and black micro glitter
  • Teal The Tide Turns: mint polish with bright green and white micro glitter
  • Wish On A Starfish: light pink polish with gold flakies
  • Tail Me Something: lavender polish with silver and purple micro glitter
  • Seahorsin' Around: teal polish with green flakies 
Sand Dolla Make You Holla. 3 coats, no undies. I love this polish! It's quite unique, yet so simple.Why hadn't anyone else thought of this? I like the texture. It was kind of sheer so I had to apply 3 coats, but the formula was great.

Shell We Dance?. 2 coats. I do like this one but it's nothing special. I like it because it's pretty but it doesn't really stand out. The formula was great though.

Teal The Tide Turns. 3 coats. The formula was not great on this one for me. I thought I was going to super love this one, but it just didn't do it for me. I think If it wasn't textured I would like it even more. I love the green glitters in this!

Wish On A Starfish. 3 coats. Hands down, my favorite out of the collection! This polish is just so beautiful and so unique. The gold shimmer or flakies are very strong and can be seen at every angle. I just love it. I want to do some nail art with this but I don't know what.

Tail Me Something. 3 coats. This polish is actually quite pretty . I liked it, but again, nothing special. The formula was great.

Seahorsin' Around. 2 coats. I thought this polish was going to stain my nails but it didn't. I really like this polish, especially the green flakies. I wish I would have captured it better but I couldn't. I think I would like this polish more if it was not textured, still, its so pretty!

Overall, I definitely liked this collection. The textured polishes were definitely unique, not all of them, but most were. I totally recommend this collection, which one did you guys like?

Thanks for reading, have a great night!

  2. Love your swatches! I check your blog all the time - there aren't too many blogs with tanned skinned ladies, like myself, I'm latina so it definitely makes a difference being able to see it on a similar skin type. Thanks :)
