NOTD: China Glaze - For Audrey

Audrey Hepburn? Possibly! This is a total Tiffany's blue nail polish and I am sure China Glaze was dying to call this "Tiffany Blue" but unfortunately Tiffany & Co holds the trademark for this color. Regardless it's a beautiful turquoise color which is one of my favorite colors EVER. Turquoise gives me sense of peace and reminds me of the Mediterranean Sea and summer...ahh bliss!

China Glaze makes good nail polishes and I love the colors they come up with but I'm not really crazy about their brushes. They need learn to master the art of brush making from OPI! I think CG brushes are too long and thin. Long brushes make applying the polish evenly so difficult. If they make shorter brushes with more bristles like OPI does, then really all you need to do is dip the brush in nail polish and in one "swipe" you can coat your nails, or at least this is how it is in my case. I'm not even putting up a picture of how this polish looked with only 1 coat, you really can't get away with 1 coat with this baby! I suggest 2, but if you can do 3 even better!

For Audrey is definitely not your everyday color (I guess it depends on what you do/work) it's in the fun polish for weekend category. I think it would be a fun idea to use this color on toes for your "Something Blue" in your wedding if you wanna spice things up a bit or if you're having a Breakfast at Tiffany's themed party etc.

Here I have my nail hardener as my base coat, 2 coats of polish and top coat.

    Thank you ladies!

    @ShoppingAddict ~ I totally know what you mean, I used to bite my nails BIG TIME, and thought getting acrylics would help me stop this bad habit and it did! I had them for years before I could stop, I would take them off every now and then to see if I will go back to biting, I'm happy that I stopped biting them and I hope you can too :)

    Thank you! I love it too :) I just checked because I had no clue if Essie had a color close to For Audrey and saw that a color named Greenport is pretty similar, a tad darker than For Audrey. If you haven't tried China Glaze before, I highly recommend it. I love Essie as well, but enjoy the way China Glaze polishes apply better. They also have a better brush in my opinion.
