Manicure Monday: China Glaze "Avant Garden Pastel Petals"


This is the China Glaze "Avant Garden Pastel Petals" collection.  It consists of 6 soft pastel colors, perfect for Spring.  I used 2 coats on all of these, with no topcoat.  Here are each of the colors:


"Pink-ie Promise" is a light baby pink, with just a little shimmer.


"Life is Rosy" is a gorgeous rose-pink creme.  This is my new favorite dark pink polish.


"Tart-y for the Party" is the prettiest lilac creme.  I love purples and this soft shade is perfect!  This is the one I chose to wear for the week and it's my favorite from this collection.


"Fade into Hue" is a pretty periwinkle creme.  I really like the color periwinkle...I have another polish in this color, but I can't remember it off the top of my head.  I'll have to go check when I get home and see if they are close to the same shade.


"Keep Calm Paint On" is a slightly shimmery seafoam green color.  I love the color, but I think I would prefer this one without the shimmer...which is weird, because I am obsessed with sparkle. 


"Dandy Lyin' Around" is a white shimmer.  This was my least favorite in the collection, simply because it wasn't very opaque.  I used two coats, but it definitely needed a third.  The color itself is great though!

The "Avant Garden Pastel Petals" collection can be found beginning in March and will retail for $7 each.  You can purchase them at salons and beauty stores nationwide, as well as Ulta.com.

Which color is your favorite?

  6. I love the periwinkle and I like the white as well, but could totally see you'd need more coats. I am looking for a spring/summer color like that one, and I've seen a few on pinterest. But the periwinkle is my fave!! I'll definitely keep an eye out for these!
