China Glaze Exotic Encounters Nail Lacquer ($3.00 to $7.00 for 0.50 fl. oz.) is described as a "lush green creme with blue undertones." It reads as a dusty green-teal with a cream finish on me. Not a dupe, but reminiscent in the kind of color family, Rescue Beauty Lounge Jack has...

China Glaze Orange You Hot? Nail Lacquer ($3.00 for 0.50 fl. oz.) is described as a "bright orange with attention-grabbing gold glimmer." It's a bright tangerine orange with very fine gold shimmer. Honestly, that shimmer is nearly imperceptible under most lighting...
