With a name like Island Escape, China Glaze’s new nail polish collection could be about bright, tropical colors, but the sugar fiend in me can’t help but see jelly beans in these bottles.
The six-piece summer collection (about $5 per bottle) features a rainbow of tropical candy colors — four shimmers (108 Degrees, Cha Cha Cha, Senorita Bonita and Blue Iguana), which require two coats to reach full opacity, and two creams (Papaya Punch and Electric Pineapple), which take three.
If you were wondering, yes, I did eat these jelly beans :), starting with the popcorn ones first (they’re my fave!).
From the left: 108 Degrees, Papaya Punch and Electric Pineapple
Cha Cha Cha, Blue Iguana and Senorita Bonita
Swatches from the left: 108 Degrees, Papaya Punch and Electric Pineapple

I’ve had excellent luck with China Glaze polishes over the years; they’re some of the sturdiest and most chip-resistant polishes I’ve tried. They get the texture and consistency just right — it’s not too thick nor thin — and they don’t skimp on the pigment.
Loading ...LOVE the bright, happy shades in this release, and I can’t wait to wear these with my favorite Reef flip-flops come summer. 🙂
PRICE: About $5 per bottle
AVAILABILITY: Available now at select salons and beauty supply stores

March 28th, 2011 at 6:00 pmaw man that purple = ♥♥
i was eating jelly bellies earlier too! (the hello kitty pack in da house!)
…. i hate the bubblegum ones. so. much.
Karen says
March 28th, 2011 at 6:04 pmI can’t stand the bubblegum ones! I also don’t like licorice ones, blech.
Sarah says
March 29th, 2011 at 7:34 pmLicorice is the worst! It’s awesome when you meet someone that likes it though because then they can eat all the jelly beans you don’t like 🙂

March 28th, 2011 at 6:55 pmahh I love how you did this photoshoot with jellybeans! Normally, I would gravitate towards Cha Cha Cha, but I’m pretty sure I already have 2 exact dupes for it. I’m eyeing Blue Iguana right now! I love bright/light shimmery blues 🙂

March 28th, 2011 at 7:11 pmAhhh, so pretty! I love your pictures with the jelly beans! I want some Jelly Bellys now! I like the pear, popcorn, grapefruit, and root beer flavors. Not all in one bite though!

March 28th, 2011 at 7:38 pmI loooove these colors! I think your swatches in the last pic may be mixed up…I’m assuming Blue Iguana is the blue polish, not the purple 😛 I’ll definitely be getting at least a few of these.
Ariel says

March 28th, 2011 at 8:03 pmI CAN’T CHOOSE! No, seriously, they’re all so pretty! I finally got around to buying my faves from the Poolside collection, but I might need to pick up these as well 🙂
Sarah says
March 28th, 2011 at 8:43 pmI like them all but the purple and blue ones are my favorite.
Karen – while debating on which to vote for, I was confused. In the voting you have Blue Iguana as the blue, but in the swatches of bottles and fingers you have Blue Iguana as the purple. But I’m torn between Senorita Bonita and Blue Iguana anyway so it doesn’t change much for me.
Now I want jelly beans.
Karen says
March 28th, 2011 at 9:33 pmThanks for letting me know. I accidentally mixed them up, oopsie!
KK says

March 28th, 2011 at 9:06 pmOMG, how do you get your nails painted so perfectly like that?! I try and fail every time.
Kerry says
March 28th, 2011 at 10:12 pmI love the popcorn ones, too! I save them for last. Damn you, Karen – time for a late-night pantry raid to see if I have any Jelly Bellys left over. 😛

March 29th, 2011 at 5:38 amThis is definitely a fun, happy collection of colors! I can picture myself lining up the bottles (ROYGBV order, of course) and just looking at them for a smile. Luckily, I can just look at your pic above instead. 🙂
courtney says
March 29th, 2011 at 6:21 amSOO pretty! And popcorn jelly beans are yucky!
Stef Smith says
March 29th, 2011 at 9:16 amElectric Pineapple, finally an opaque neon lime! I love these colors so much, I’m going to head on over to Sally Beauty Supply tomorrow to see if they’re there! I’m not a jellybean fan at all, I think they are beautiful to look at, but I don’t eat them. My husband likes the popcorn flavor.
Tekoa says
March 29th, 2011 at 9:52 amSame, jelly beans are beautiful to look at but I don’t like the taste. Never had the popcorn flavor….must investigate.
Tekoa says
March 29th, 2011 at 9:36 amI have all of them but Electric Pineapple. So impressed was I by the vibrant colours that I bought a new pair of flip flops. I shouldn’t have done that. The next day we were dumped on by snow that has yet to melt. What can I say, its Alberta. My husband said I caused it to snow by aquiring sandals. 🙂
Karen says
March 29th, 2011 at 9:41 amHey Tekoa,
How are you and the kitties? Have you seen Tabs’ new pics (he’s wearing pearls!):

Tekoa says
March 29th, 2011 at 9:51 amThe kitties are happy and healthy. The Orange One is currently sleeping on my essay papers, preventing me from doing homework. Tabs looks handsome as always, pearls suit him. Is the Shu Uemura lash curler new, or was the old one located?
Karen says
March 29th, 2011 at 10:11 amIt’s a new one that belongs to Tabs (haha). The old one is still MIA! Aww, give The Orange One a snuggle for me. Tabs is currently sitting on my lap with his front paws/girth draped over my right arm. It makes it hard to type.

March 29th, 2011 at 10:46 amOh no, now I want jelly beans! LOL. I am going to make a trip to Queens the second week of April, Would you believe there’s only ONE Sally’s in all of NYC? I have to travel 45 minutes just to buy China Glaze poilshes.

March 29th, 2011 at 1:10 pmI can’t answer your poll, I love Cha-cha and Senorita Bonita – you need to change it so that I can choose two 🙂 Love that these are strong, funky colours!
Perry says
March 29th, 2011 at 1:43 pmMmm, jelly beans. That Electric Pineapple shade is a dead ringer for the Chanel Mimosa shade. Might have to pick that up…
SaBaH says
April 1st, 2011 at 8:53 amSenorita Bonita and Blue Iguana is tempting me.
It’s not related to the topic but i think it’s time for China glaze to come up with some new packaging. These bottles make me feel drowsy!
Jessica says
April 3rd, 2011 at 2:58 pmThe colors are gorgeous and really fun, but has anyone else found China Glaze to chip easily?
