Up and away/balloons is a bit weird for a collection but...ok! The super creamy pastel colours are amazing and so pigmented, only a few of them even needed 2 coats (!) rare for polishes in my experience. My absolute fave is Grape Pop, it is so eye catching and gorgeous. The polish dries so quickly and it doesn't take forever to do your manicure which I love.
I didn't get all the colours, just my four faves.
Bright, Barbie, candy pink. I think this is just about as bright as pink can get
before it looks silly. I love this colour it is beautiful.
Hands down my favourite, a more blue toned purple, or true purple.
I have nothing like this in my collection and I adore it. Looove!
This is a very bright coral, its a lot more red than I had thought really but very flattering and pretty
It's sort of blue, but in real life it can also look a bit teal green.
I really like this shade and it will look amazing with a tan, fake or real.
Surprisingly I didn't get Peachy Keen, but that's because I already have Models Own fuzzy peach and a Gosh peach so I didn't see the point in three peaches.
I think they are amazing for the price although it's a pain they only sell these in a few outlets in the UK or you have to buy online.
What are your thoughts on this collection?
And China Glaze in general?

Nice post. Thanks for the swatches. Ive got Peachykeen on order. I do have Fuzzy Peach too but it goes orange on my nails. I'm hoping Peachykeen won't do that. It prob will though as all peaches do that on me.
xoxox

You are totally right about Grape Pop, its my favourite polish at the moment, the perfect purple! Think I will definitely have a look at some of the other colours too.

Gorgeous colours! Where did you buy yours from if you don't mind me asking? I would like more China Glaze polishes but I don't know where the best place to order them from is?
@legseleven7 -Peachykeen does look lovely, if yours go orange you could use on of those ridge fillers that are whitish as a basecoat or just a white coat underneath the peach.s orange on my nails. I'm hoping
@Nooberella thanks hun, the colour grape pop is lush, love it!

@Laura - Emerald Green 88 I got mine from Ebay, the reason I didn't mention the seller is because they were very weird, they refused to combine shipping etc and have now dissapeared from ebay!
i love this collection! i have high hopes (current nail color), re-fresh mint and heli-yum. But I really want peachy keen and grape pop! I haven't used man China Glaze polishes but I like them so far.

I got all the colors from the up & away collection apart from grape pop actually, and now I'm regretting it! Sugar High is just awesomely gorgeous - amazing as a pedi color in the summer. Peachykeen is really nice, and I strangely love the lavender one - Light As Air.
I've been dithering aout ordering these bus once i saw your favourites vid with flying high, i just knew i had to get it! That and grape pop are beautiful! Thanks for the fantastic pictures and swatches
OMG Those colors are hott!!
High hopes is clearly what i need in my life. I much prefer the china glaze formula to OPI which i find peels off almost instantly!
