China Glaze - Strawberry Fields

Hi guys! This is my first "real" post, and today I wanted to share with you my newest China Glaze. Strawberry Fields was a shade I had been looking for a while, but didn't want to order online. The other day it appeared on a sale bin in my favorite makeup store, and for $2, I just had to have it :D



Strawberry Fields is a pink glassfleck (with a cool tone) packed with gold sparkles. It originally came out on 2009's summer collection "Summer Days".



This polish has a great formula, it was very easy to work with and opaque in 2 coats. I love the texture of the jelly base with the gold sparkles :) In the swatch above I used Essence's Quick Dry Topcoat, but it's really shiny on its own.

I love that the gold shine is noticeable, but not in-your-face. Is visible in most lights, but subtle.



Overall, it's a pretty nice polish and I loved it. I'm looking forward to trying more of China Glaze's glassflecked beauties.
So, there it is. My first "real" nail polish review. Thanks for reading!


Hola chicas! Hoy en mi primer post les quiero enseñar mi última adquisición de China Glaze. Strawberry Fields es un color que estaba buscando desde hace tiempo, pero no quería pedirlo por internet. De suerte, el otro día lo encontré en oferta en mi tienda DBS, y me lo llevé por $990, tenía que tenerlo! :D


Strawberry Fields es un esmalte de color rosado intenso, tirado un poco al morado, con una pizca de brillo dorado, a medio camino entre el "shimmer" y el "glitter" (lo que se conoce como "glassfleck"). Fue originalmente lanzado en verano del 2009 como parte de la colección "Summer Days".


Este esmalte tiene una excelente fórmula, es muy fácil de aplicar y es totalmente opaco en 2 capas. Me encanta la textura de la base "jelly" (semi-translúcida) con el brillo dorado. En la foto utilicé la capa de secado rápido Essence para mayor brillo.


Me gusto mucho que el brillo dorada fuera bastante visible, pero no exageradamente. Se le puede ver en la mayoría de condiciones de luz, sin dejar de ser sutil.


En conclusión, es un esmalte muy bonito y fácil de usar, me encantó. Ahora no hallo la hora de usar otros glassflecks de China Glaze.


Y bueno, este ha sido mi primer review "real". Espero les haya gustado, gracias por leerme!
