This polish is a treat! I have been trying to do this post now for a couple of days. It's Chels Marie's Pretty & Polished- Pool Party. When I first put this polish on, I saw this subtle blue shimmer I had never seen before. It's amazing! This one really does look like a party on your nails. I used China Glaze-Bahamian Escape as underwear, but it's not necessary. It would have been a fully opaque polish in 3 coats.
China Glaze-Bahamian Escape is a polish I purchased b/c I wanted OPI-What's with the Cattitude and couldn't find it anywhere for a fair price. This one was closest when I compared swatches and I love it. It applies like butter, dries fast, etc. I love China Glaze the most out of all of the mainstream polish brands. IMO, it's just as good as OPI and a bit less expensive. They also have awesome color choices. I use both brands, but I can run to Sally's and get a discount on China Glaze and I can't do that with OPI polishes :(.
Pool Party also dried super fast, applied easily and no fishing required to get a ton of glitter on your brush. The only thing someone may find to be a negative is the slight curve in the bar metallic colored glitter (see my pinky). The white bar glitter in it did not start curving at all. I don't mind when the glitter curves up a little, I think it adds character. There isn't that much of the colored bars in there either way. Like I said, I don't mind the glitter changing shape a little, it does not affect how great the polish is and looks! Another great one, Chels Marie! You can now purchase Pretty & Polished Polish on llarowe's website. I will post the link to Chels Pretty & Polished Etsy store and llarowe below. I just checked and there are still some Pool Party left in stock. Get it while you can, you won't regret it!

YEP, you should have lol! Honestly I've had it for about a month now and hadn't tried it til I did this post. I love it more now that I put it on. Like I said, it has that blue subtle shimmer I just love. I love when polish has that little treat :).
