 This light pink leaning purple is perfect for spring a spring mani. It is a shimmer and applies easily. This is 2 coats with no top coat. I had no balding issues with this color. It applied smoothly and dried quickly. The shimmers though were hard to clean up after as it likes to leave your skin shimmery no mater how much you scrub which is the other shimmers in this collection do the same.

Crushed Rose

Crushed Rose is a gorgeous dusty pink that is a dream to apply. I used 2 coats with no topcoat. I had no issues with dragging or balding and its almost completely opaque in 1 coat. With it being so opaque this polish would be great for stamping over other light colors opening the door for lots of spring nail art. 

Wisteria Haze
CND Wisteria Haze

This color is a hard one for me to capture. It is one of my favorite pastel lavender purples I own. I used 2 coats of this on its own no topcoat. Formula on this one is great and doesn't leave you wanting. Another very opaque polishes in this collection. Dry time is super fast and does best when you don't blob it on. If I could only get one of this whole collection this would be the one I would pick.

At first coat this polish had me fooled. It was super sheer and liked to pull in spots. I noticed for each nail I was having to do multiple trips to the bottle to cover an entire nail. It was runny and hard to apply. I doubted this would be opaque with under 4 coats but I was able to get desired look with only 2. Out of this collection I would say the formula was the worst...But even with all of that I love the sea colored glory that this is in the end. I would recommend using a loaded brush but spread it evenly. Be sure to work quickly because if you go over the same spot it drags and pulls. Also let this completely dry between coats because if you don't the 2nd coat won't dry even after more than 30 mins. 

Reflecting Pool

I have a weakness for blue, to the point I would say at least 30% of my collection is blue. I have tried to spread myself out to other colors but I always find myself drawn to blues and this one is no exception. The formula is just as fantastic as the one on Wisteria Haze but with one draw back... It stains like crazy. I had some issues with getting it off of my skin as it just wanted to meld into my skin. While it did not stain my natural nails ( because I used double coat of base) it did still manage to stain my patches. (Made with Orly nail rescue) on my middle and pointer finger. I ended up having to remove and re patch my nails because the staining was so bad. This is definitely a color you do not want to use without a basecoat.

You didn't think you would get through this collection without any glitter did you? Glitter is just what spring needs! Bring on the sparkles. I love that CND used a rose colored jelly base for this instead of clear. It allows it to be more than just a topper. This is 3 coats by itself with no topcoat. If you aren't a fan of textures you will need to topcoat this baby as the glitter texture is able to be seen and felt through its jelly base. I did have some skin staining issues with this color but no issues with staining of the nail. The polish requires medium work to remove.

Hot Pop Pink

The final color of the collection. This bright vibrant pink makes me think of flowers and the hints of summer soon to come. Close to a neon but not a neon this color is great for those impatient people who want to skip the pastel but not go full on neon yet. Application was great and applied smoothly. Dry time is quick by the time I got the other nails done I was able to do my 2nd coat.

So here is the question you must be asking yourself. How do these stamp? Well I have some paper swatches for you and A live stamping video.
