China Glaze | Chic Physique Swatches

Press Sample

Hello and Happy Weekend although I'll be honest I'm not thrilled about it being the weekend. It just means Spring break is about over, not that I get one but for others in the house soooo. Kind of bummed about that but on the bright side Easter is this weekend which mean beach sunrise! Woohoo!! Anywayyyy, today I have the new China Glaze Chic Physique collect to show you and spoiler, I love it! I have swatched of all 12 plus a video so let go!

Bodysuit Yourself!

2 coat(s)

 A berry tones pink with a slight shimmer. 

This one has a fabulous formula. So nice and creamy, and very pigmented. Its also such a nice berry shade. I think the photos came out a bit brighter that it appears in real life which is slightly annoying but its a beauty of a color. I was a bit nervous this type of highly pigmented color would stain so I doubled up on base coat to avoid it so I don't really know if it does stain, but I can say with 2 base coats it did not. :)

Athletic Chic

2 coat(s)

 A red/corally orange creme. 

Again another great creamy formula that I was super impressed with. I think this whole collection was filled with great formulas so be prepared, I will start to sound like a broken record! This shade is showing to be quite orange on camera but I feel like there was a hint more coral out in the "elements: lol! I am not an orange fan but this one I did enjoy. Its more of a warm red orange you would see in a sunset and I'm ok with that for sure! :)

Pilates Please

2 coat(s)

 A light peachy/orange creme. 

I've actually been wanting a nice more pastel toned orange with a good formula so I can use it for gradations and I think this one will do the trick. It had a great formula and I was overall just pleased with it. :)

Activewear, Don't Care

2 coat(s)

 A emerald/teal green creme. 

I love this type of emerald that has a teal feel in it. Its s super pigmented one that is obviously pretty. Most colors like this that I have stain so I was cautious and did 2 base coats again just being safe rather than sorry! :) This one was the only one that had a different formula. This one way a bit more crelly liked but it still covered well in 2 coats.

Glamletics

2 coat(s)

 A periwinkle blue creme with a pink shimmer. 

This is such a nice periwinkle! I love that it has a shimmer in it as you can see in the bottle but I am a lil bummed that you can't see it on the nails. Either way tho, the polish is a lovely shade and has a great formula!

Barre Hopping

2 coat(s)

 A  pink toned lavender creme. 

So impressed with this one and well all of these cremes. I am thinking China Glaze did some formula revamping because these are so much better than their past shades similar to these. This covered so well in 2 coats and had a nice shiny "plump" finish even pre top coat.

Girl on the Glo

2 coat(s)

 A metallic like bronze with scattered micro glitters. 

This is the only "metallic" in the collection and its a nice accent nail, it does have a nice easy to work with formula however it can be brush strokey. The lil micro glitters in it are nice because it makes it a bit different for this type of polish which was nice. Overall this one wasn't my favorite, but it was still a good polish, with good performance.

Get It Right, Get it Bright

2 coat(s)

 A light lavender with a magenta shimmer running through out. 

Yesss, this is pretty! I love the shimmer in this one. That magenta flash you get from the shimmer makes this lavender just pop! I would love to see China Glaze do more polishes just like this!

Low-Maintenance

2 coat(s)

 A pale pink creme. 

I did not expect to like this one in all honesty, however I did. Its formula was sooo nice and creamy which made the application a dream, and it was actually a nice shade on my skin tone. It might help that the tan is returning but still! I was quite impressed.

Pretty Fit

2 coat(s)

 A dusty/rosey pink creme. 

Another great one that I really enjoyed. Its a neat dusty rose pink that looks really nice on and has such a nice formula that I was most pleased with.

Werk it Honey

2 coat(s)

 A light pastel neon like yellow creme. 

I have never liked a yellow polish enough to wear it on its own, nor to really even get excited about it as a accent nail. Its never been "me". Well things have changed, I LOVE this yellow. It was just amazing from the shade to the formula and ahh, I just love it. Its not too in your face, nor too light, its just right! Plus I mean its also the PERFECT lemon yellow, pineapple yellow, and you know I LOVE those!

At Your Athleisure 

2 coat(s)

 A light blue/mint sky blue 

Another fave! Oh yes, I just love these types of shades and this is nothing new, its just such a nice blue with a minty feel. I just love it so much, China Glaze has always been good at colors like this and now with this new formula its near perfection! So yeah its a new fave!

WATCH NOW

Overall you can probably tell I was/am a big fan of this collection, they all had really nice formulas and all of the colors are nice for spring and even summer! Which those are my fave polish seasons so of course I am happy about that. These are all available now! You can find then at Select Sallys Beauty, Ultas, and of course online retailers that sell China Glaze. Hope you enjoyed these! What was your favorite? Are you going to be sporting any of these? Also who wants to see some of these used for art? ;)

Happy Painting!
