Turquoise is my favorite color above all other colors and especially bright turquoise leaning towards blue. This polish tics all those boxes - meet China Glaze's Towel Boy Toy!
Towel Boy Toy is a fusion of neon and shimmer and it was released the summer of 2010 as part of the Poolside Collection.

GOOD TO KNOW:
Type of polish: Neon/shimmer.
Color: A turquoise leaning towards blue packed with bright turquoise shimmer.
Number of coats: Three. You can still see a bit of VNL so perhaps you need four coats.
Formula: A nice formula. The first coat is pretty streaky but after that it gets much better. Easy to control.
Brush: Nice brush. No complaints.
Top Coat: Yes. Due to the neon qualities it dries matte so a top coat is a must if you want it shiny.
Color accuracy in pictures: Fairly accurate, perhaps a bit less blue and more turquoise looking live. This polish was extremely hard to capture!! In most pictures it turned out just plain light blue. It drove me crazy for a while!!
Grade: 5++++/5
I love the color of this polish!! To me it's the perfect turquoise! I normally don't like polishes that requires too many coats but this polish is an exception. I'd apply ten coats if I'd have to to wear this beauty!

Really love this older (first ChG neon grouping as I recall) lovely blue...it was hard to find when it sold out pretty fast - I had to do some digging to get my bottle. After last summer and the rash of neon polishes released - I had to stake stock in how many I did have and how I did not wear them all that much so I would not go nuts this summer when again neons were a big hit...I was temped to buy a couple...but left 'em at the store! I think I have 42 already and that's plenty of neons!
ReplyDeleteWow! That is a lot of neons!! But neons are so gorgeous!! You want them all!! So glad you checked our my post and left a comment!! :D
DeleteThis is a GORGEOUS color! Could stare at this whole day ;)
ReplyDeleteMe too! And I did when wearing it! ;)
DeleteÅhh sååå vackert, underbar färg verkligen. :-)
ReplyDeleteDet är en fantastisk färg och finish!
DeleteI have this color too! Its pretty :)
ReplyDeleteIt sure is!! :D
DeleteSince you love turquoise how do you like ChG Turned Up Turquoise? I love that one! This reminds me of an old CoverGirl NailSlicks I have called Cosmic Blue. It's a super duper dusty. I'm going to be purging it from my stash soon. ;) This looks great on you!
ReplyDeleteI like CG Turned Up Turquiose too! But I love Towel Boy Toy more! It's slightly more blue and that's why I love it more I think. I also love the name of this polish! It's fun and witty! I'd love to see that Cosmic Blue!
DeleteLovely, lovely, lovely! My favourite color is BLUE, but also turquoise is very appreciate in my heart. <3 It's perfect for summer. I have this jewel in my Helmer, and I love it soooo much. Baci!
ReplyDeleteI love blue too and I agree with you, this polish is a perfect summer polish!! Baci!
DeleteDenna är underbar! :D Har den själv och den är så fin så fin.. har själv funderat på att skaffa dupe på den! :) Jag tycker tom att den är fin matte! :D
ReplyDeleteJaaa! En dupe vore nice! Säg till om du hittar någon!
DeleteJag måste lära mig att gilla denna matt också ;) Har haft svårt för det :P
