China Glaze New Birth

I was browsing through my stash yesterday, trying to pick a polish to wear, but I didn't feel like any of the colors I pulled out. It seemed like I wore them all recently and I just wasn't feeling it. So I thought it was time for something to cleanse the palette. I usually go for white or a nude when I'm in this kind of mood, but as I just picked up a few of the polishes from The Giver collection that China Glaze just released, I thought this would do the trick.

China Glaze New Birth is a gorgeous super light blue cream. It almost looks white, but they did add a few drops of blue. It actually never looks white on the nail, but you'd have to hold the bottle next to a true white to see a big difference.

The formula was nice, it flowed on the nail with ease, but it was a tad bit patchy. It did level nicely on the nail though and dried quick enough. I did 2 thin coats, but I should have added a third, because I do have some bold spots on my nails. I just couldn't be bothered yesterday...

I really love this color, it's so nice and fresh and it's just what I wanted. My nails look like a blanc canvas, ready for some colorful paint next time I paint my nails, which will probably be tonight or tomorrow, because I change my polish that often.

I love these types of polishes because I wear so much color and bling on my nails, every now and then I need something a bit less... well... colorful and this is perfect for that! I know it looks pretty much white, but it really is blue, trust me!

What polishes do you tend to reach for when you need a break from all the color, glitter or other craziness on your nails?
