China Glaze Flying Dragon and Black Eyed Susans

A few weeks ago I purchased China Glaze Flying Dragon.  This is a purpleish base with pink and blue shimmer.  Loved it in the bottle but was purplexed with it on my nails.  It went on weird and dried super quick.  Needed three coats to even out the color because the shimmer seemed to stick in certain places.  I didn't absolutely love the color as much as I like it in the bottle.  I decided to paint over it with some basic flowers using a dotting tool.  Might as well go bright, so I went with one of my favs....black eyed susans.  Love this for summer.

    I'm so sad to hear that you had trouble with Flying Dragon! It is one of my favorite polishes. Maybe you got a bad formula?!?! I know it dries fast and matte but I didn't have the trouble you did. :( Your design is beautiful! :)

    So summery. Love the color combinations. The pink and blue shimmer on purple is seen so well. Many of the Essie polishes have blue shimmers but they are hardly seen when applied on nail.

    I have heard a lot about flying dragon but i never actually saw a picture of it... thank you, i think i love it! :) Though you're not that happy and that's understandable because you were expecting a specific thing due to the bottle :| The flowers add something quite awesome to this manicure :)***
