Here is Part II of the China Glaze Anchors Away swatches! I admit that the colors from Part I are mostly my favoritees from this collection. The following colors are a bit too sheer or too light for my taste, with the exception of Below Deck, Pelican Gray and Sea Spray.
White Cap
White Cap is described as a whimsical and sparkling multi-dimensional white. I can see lots of gold tones to it. I don't remember if this is a 3 or 4-coater, but it still is a bit too sheer for my taste. I like the nuances in this color, though.
Pelican Gray
Pelican Gray is gorgeous, one of my faves. It is a high-shine, cool-toned grey creme that doesn't look washed out. It looks quite chic and high end.
Sea Spray
Sea Spray is a pretty calming pale blue creme that looks similar to Pelican Gray in the shade. Like Pelican Gray, it looks simple but chic on the nails.
Below Deck
Below Deck I believe is one of the stars of this collection. It's the grey-purple shade that is very popular right now. I love these kinds of shades, and the fact that this applies so smoothly and easily on the nail makes this a top choice for me.
Sunset Sail
Sunset Sail is a high-shine, orange creamsicle smoothie color that applies smoothly, but I don't think it complements my skintone really well. I like the shiny finish and the cream formula, however.
Knotty
Knotty is a micro-particle beige shimmer that is the perfect neutral if not for the fact that it has micro-shimmer. This is great to wear if you need to wear neutrals but don't like the usual boring stuff. Looks very clean and chic on the nails.
All in all, this is a strong collection featuring a variety of colors and formulas that you don't often find in spring collections. My favorites are Below Deck, Pelican Grey, First Mate, Ahoy! and Starboard. In Part I, I have discussed my views on the formulas and ease in application. Check it out!
