Pink Wednesday: China Glaze Electra Magenta (Tronica)

China Glaze - Electra Magenta

This is going to be quick. For today's Pink Wednesday I chose Electra Magenta from China Glaze (Tronica Collection).  Since I liked High Def so much, I felt compeled to try another.  Just like High Def, Electra Magenta was also thick and goopy.  I must remember to add thinner next time.  In these photos I am weating 2 coats. However it was opaque with just one coat.  I still love the Tronica collection.  The scatter holo is beautiful!  I went and got my first Spring/Summer pedi today and now my POTD is also Electra Magenta...I know, matchy, matchy!!!

Grace and Peace.

NOTD: China Glaze High Def - Autism Awareness

China Glaze-High Def (Tronica)

As fate would have it, 2 days before my new camera is due to arrive, I experienced a nail crack on my right, middle nail, just at the smile line, UGH!!!  But I am prepared.  Based on My Simple Little Pleasures’ You Tube video on How to Apply a Silk Wrap, I had all the necessary tools to repair my nail.  So I have patched my nail and shall proceed.  This week for Autism Awareness  - Light It Up Blue, I have chosen one of my newest from the China Glaze Tronica collection – High Def.

I thought this would be a quick post, take the picture and post it. So many others have already blogged about the Tronica collection so what more could I say that hasn’t already been said?  But once I applied the High Def, I saw that I just had to speak on it also.  It is beautiful!  I have mentioned more than once that I love the dark blues.  High Def is my first lighter blue but won’t be my last.  I thought that with my darker skin tone, I wouldn’t like it, but I was wrong.  As has already been discussed, China Glaze High Def, of the 2011 Tronica Collection is a light to medium, almost faded denim blue.  As with all the Tronica Collection, it is a scattered holographic polish. 

Review:

The application was a bit tricky.  I found my bottle to be a bit thick and thereby goopy.  I will add some thinner before the next application.  As pictured, it is opaque with two coats.  I am happy to say that I am even more excited to try the other Tronica polishes that I own (10 of the 12).  I hope that the polish manufacturers come out with other similar shades.  China Glaze High Def is a great spring blue!

Grace and Peace.
