No, China Glaze put out a color before called Channelesque, and it has been discontinued, but still very popular. They have even said that this new color is the closest they can get to reproducing that color.

So pretty! I love the bold colors… I think I want to get Hey Sailor, Pelican Grey and possibly Below Deck. Hopefully Ulta has buy 2, get 1 free with these! 😉

I want to love China Glaze but it just doesn`t work well for me! I only have two of their polishes but they are pretty streaky and kind of thick : (. I might give them another chance though haha.

I know what you mean – I had that problem with some of the Pool Side collection colors but the rest of them work lovely – I have 30+ bottles of China Glaze and I really love them. I’ve been wearing Mistletoe Kisses ( W/O base or top coat) for close to a month now and even though my nails have grown and thus some chipping has occurred the polish still looks pretty and I still get compliments!

I was pretty pumped about this collection since ALU’s swatches and descriptions but now I’m kinda thinking I only want Sea Spray, Life Preserver, Ahoy! and possibly Below Deck or Sunset Sail. I guess I’m already ready for the brights of summer to come out!

Is it just me or does the second set seem rather gloomy for spring? Gray, grayed out purple, and brownish colors just aren’t spring. However that pink color in the first set is rather pretty, but looks a lot like strawberry fields from summer before last.

CG’s spring collections are always pitch-perfect in terms of the color line-ups and themes. So fun and attractive…I can’t stop looking. That said, I’m very curious about Lighthouse!

I love that China Glaze comes out with so many different colors in their collections. I’ll definitely be trying to get my hands on as many of these as I can. I can’t wait to see your swatches!

I think I’ll get starboard, but the other ones are a bit dupe-y.. I’m not a big fan of light colored polish, so half of the collection isn’t interesting for me from the start! And the other half isn’t that special:( Too bad, China Glaze is my favorite polish brand.

Starboard, Lighthouse, and Pelican Gray are looking faaaaAABulous! This just might be the one spring collection I’m excited about! Gotta love the cute sailor theme.

I am liking some of the colors. The three on the right of the second one I like a lot. The whole first one has really nice colors too!

I’m finding myself looking at the muted colors and drooling. Especially if they’re muted blues and greys!! (I guess after going on a fiendish polish-collection spree last year, and concentrating on the darker and more jeweltone shades, I feel the need to balance things out.)

I’m looking at White Cap, Sea Spray, Knotty, and Sunset Sail. I think I’m one of the few bloggers who’s not aflutter over Below Deck 😀
