China Glaze Anchors Away Collection Part 2!

This is the second and final part of my China Glaze Anchors Away swatches, these six are collectively known as the Knotty Nauticals and known by me as The Brights! Some beautiful shades here!

First Life Preserver:

 A warm creamy burnt orange kind of a shade. My surprise second favourite of these 6. It's very sophisticated and it's kinda bright, kinda dusty, and a nice alternative to for a example a bright red. Speaking of which....

Hey, Sailor!

 You girls know I love my reds! This is the brightest red I have and it's glorious. Obviously to anyone not into reds it's just a red creme, but for me this is absolutely stunning! I really need to sort out my red polish...

First Mate:

 A lovely royal blue creme. I didn't think I liked blues on me. I also didn't think I like creme's all that much but I love this. Its a really clean look. Not too bright, just nice. A slightly muted shade. Highly glossy, very nice indeed.

Lighthouse:

 Gotta admit I didn't think I was going to like this at all. I don't own any yellow polishes, never been drawn to them. This is absolutely full of teeny tiny glitter. Indoors with a flash it looked a bit insipid, the second picture shows the true colour. That was two coats, I should think three would make it really amazing.

Starboard:

 Gloriously green. I've recently learned to love these shades of green. It started with Essie's Pretty Edgy, continued with OPI's Don't s With OPI. I love them all but they are all very similar. I ought to do a comparison at some point!

Ahoy!:

Saving my favourite til last, you may have guesssed by the amount of pics I've used. It's a glass flecked hot pink. Words cannot convey just how bright this is. It actually reminds me of Mac's Gulabi lipstick in that it's nearly neon in some lights. The glass flecks are incredibly pretty and although it looked pretty in the bottle, I had no idea i was going to love it this much. Hot pinks aren't very "me" but this one is great!

So that's it, that concludes the entire China Glaze Anchors Away collection. Any of these take your fancy? Do you prefer the brights or the pales? Both sets have winners for me, quite a few winners as it happens!
