Happy Tuesday everyone! Sorry that I’ve been a tad bit absent for the last few days. Me and my boyfriend are apartment hunting right now and I can’t even tell you how stressful its been. While I absolutely love my boyfriend and plan on having a (hopefully long) future with him, we cannot agree on where to live! In his eyes, the cheaper the better. In mine, I’m willing to spend an extra $25 a month on some creature comforts.
I had every intention on blogging Sunday and Monday but at the last minute a few apartments called us back to view them. Needless to say, both of those were a big fat no! Now back to the drawing board. And today I have for you another bright, fun summer color!
China Glaze “Turned Up Turquoise” is an almost neon turquoise creme with a very slight silver shimmer. The shimmer is so slight that its almost non-existent unless you look really close. And since my little hand held camera can’t handle any sort of neon polish, there was no hope at trying to capture it!
I have a major love-hate relationship with this formula. On one hand I LOVE the opacity and dry time. This is practically a 1 coater. You could get away with 1 thick coat but I’m wearing 2 coats in all of the pictures. The dry time is incredible as well, almost like an insta-dry formula! It dries to a matte finish, which I left untouched for the pictures. However, this polish chips worse than any other polish I’ve ever tried … EVER! I get chipping with this polish within an hour or 2, even when I wear a top coat. So while I love the color and the formula, this is strictly going to be a layering polish for glitters from here on out.
What do you guys think? Do any of you have this polish? Do any of you have a polish that chips almost instantly?

Gorgeous colour for summer!
agreed! i wish it didn’t chip so bad because i would wear it all the time
Gorgeous color! I’ve found that all of my China Glaze polishes chip within a day or so. I try to avoid buying them unless I see an absolute must have color that no other brand has.
i’m finding that with all my bright china glazes. i wore “i’m with the lifeguard” today and it chipped within a few hours. my darker ones are fine tho
It seems like every China Glaze cream/neon chips horribly for me. I hate that!
agreed! i wore “i’m with the lifeguard” today which is a neon lime green and it chipped within a few hours. grr!
Beautiful color!
I want to live in a “turquoise” world!!!!
hahaha i do too!
I love this one so much! Even though I no longer buy ChG, it’s the color I’m always drawn to when I’m at Ulta or Sally’s. I have only 6 Chanel polishes (another brand I no longer buy…) and they all chip on me within hours of applying. :-\ Sorry y’all are having such a time finding a place – and I agree with you about spending the extra money for the extra comforts! ♥
i need to show your comment to my boyfriend! because he just doesn’t get it!
Beautiful color, I think! I do not own any china glaze nail polish, unfortunately. I used to use a cheap Sally Hansen top coat and every one of my manicures would start chipping just hours later! Invested in a bottle of Seche Vite and I no longer have that problem, thankfully, but anyway, does the “Turned Up Turquoise” still chip like that with a top coat or is that without a top coat?
the pictures were without a top coat, but it chipped with and without one within a few hours. i tried it a few times thinking that maybe it was a 1 time problem. but no, every time i tried it it chipped
I Would never wear a polish that is going to chip after a couple of hours! Even though the color payoff is great….. it would be a waste of time.
true! normally i only wear a polish for a day so it doesn’t bother me as much but it is annoying
Such a shame… It’s one of my favorite colors, but I just can’t handle the chipping… I did layer China Glaze Atlantis over it and that stayed put as normal and was absolutely beautifull!
i’m going to try it with some glitters and see how it works. i wish i had atlantis!
It looks perfect on you! 🙂
thanks girl!
