Customer reviews
Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings, help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyses reviews to verify trustworthiness.
Learn more how customers reviews work on AmazonCustomers say
Customers find the nail polish highly pigmented, with one mentioning it's a perfect match for accessories, and they appreciate its shinny finish and smooth application. Moreover, the polish lasts a long time, with one customer noting it stays on for over 12 days without chipping. However, the chip resistance and drying time receive mixed feedback - while some say it chips very easily after three coats and takes a while to dry, others report it lasts without chipping and dries quickly. Additionally, opinions on value for money are divided, with some finding it excellent while others consider it a waste of money.

- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 December 2024Colour Name: High MaintenanceVerified PurchaseBeautiful nail polish. Goes on well and looks beautiful. Removes easily if used over a clear base coat. Fairly durable. Nail polish tends not to last too long on finger nails. It's a good consistency and easy to apply. Value for money.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 August 2024Colour Name: PinkVerified PurchaseAt first I thought it was quite runny, and although it is compared to some nail varnishes, it goes on really well and it didn't leave any brush lines.
I had to use 3 coats, it has a great depth of colour and dries to a matt finish so I put a glossy clear top coat. Love the finish and colour.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 9 April 2012This colour is very bright to say the least - but I'm the sort of person who likes it loud :)
It's a very neon colour, especially in sunlight. It's also a slightly pinker coral in my opinion, less orange than the picture looks. I've uploaded my own image for comparison but it's a tad low quality I'm afraid. The polish needs a few coats to get a solid, even colour, and leaves an odd matte finish. To get a nice long-lasting gloss, I always use a topcoat, and heartily recommend seche vite as my miracle product!
I do really like this polish for it's unique colour, and can't wait to wear it on my holidays with a tan.

- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 30 January 2016Colour Name: AhoyVerified PurchaseThis is a wonderful colour and varnish! Fast becoming a convert of China Glaze after purchasing two other colours previously; I've bought most polishes from Rimmel to Elizabeth Arden and all in between but this brand has got to be up there close to perfection.
Consistency depth ease of applying and taking off.. and the richness of the polishes are magical.
I have natural long nails this colour suits them well my skintone is olive but I think it would suit most skintones and due to the subtle sparkles would be ideal on acrylic nails if you wanted to experiment with nail art.
I find myself admiring my nails thanks to this polish!
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 April 2024Colour Name: party pinkVerified PurchaseYou do have to work the formula not as smooth as others and brush in China Glaze bit thin for me but this is years old now and o believe C.G do a better wider brush now. Perfect shade for summer/holidays.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 25 August 2024Colour Name: SilverVerified PurchaseLove this, have been looking for an alternative to the INM Northern Lights top coat, and this is just lovely.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 November 2024Colour Name: Purple PanicVerified PurchaseVery disappointed, this does not resemble the colour in the photo. It is a dull pink/red not a vibrant pink.
Waste of money. Do not recommend.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 9 July 2016Colour Name: Iris NeonVerified PurchaseThis was delivered much quicker than I expected and packed well.
The colour is just stunning, a really bright purple that is very unique. I don't know of any shade like it. To make it really 'pop' apply on top of a white nail polish.
As I've found with all China Glaze polishes it has a great formula, no streaks and long lasting without chipping. A brilliant price for such a quality brand

5.0 out of 5 stars A beautiful accident
Colour Name: SilverVerified PurchaseI meant to order the gel version of this, but I didn't read the description properly. I was initially disappointed when I opened it, but I didn't realize China Glaze has added hardeners to their products, so they now dry within a minute! I was so impressed by this realization that I bought a couple more of the products, and now my nails take less time than my gel nails and last just as long.
- Lisa FullerReviewed in Canada on 27 April 2020
