China Glaze 'Flying Dragon'

Ah beautiful purple color ♥
Purple always makes me happy, and when I wear this on my nails, I am even happier!






Flying Dragon
A medium toned purple with slight pink undertones and really cool blue and red/pink glitter.



Formula

China Glaze could have made this an amazing polish. But, noooo, they screwed it up. In the bottle it looks simply amaziiiing! Then, when you put the first coat on your nails, you will be very disappointed. The first coat is really sheer and kind of gross looking. That is because this is a matte polish. 3 coats will deliver the best results. The glitter is really amazing, but the matte finish really minimizes the effect of the glitters. That is why, I prefer to add two coats of a top coat. The top coat will make the polish shiny, and it will also make the glitter more prominent. This polish would have been so much better if it was not matte.

Swatches



Overall, I love this color. I just wished that it wasn't matte.

What do you guys think?
