China Glaze: Dripping Wet

Last month I won a contest hosted by Mary over at Body & Soul and one of the two polished I received was China Glaze's Dripping wet.

This polish is a gorgeous chocolate raspberry jelly (doesn't that sound yum?). The jelly formula is gorgeous. I adore jellies. While jellies are on the sheer side and I hate sheers there is something about the finish I can't get enough of. Jellies in deep shades like this one have that "wet" look quality. The photos below are 3 coats, and as you can see it's still a touch see through but I really love the look. Dark but not. Opaque but not quite.

China Glaze is my favorite company. I love their formulas and brush and this one was no exception. The brush is the perfect size for easy application. This one streaked a bit but that's just the jelly nature. The first coat is like a sheer stain of raspberry, the second coat deepens a bit to a squishy burgandy and the third coat results in the color pictured. I imagine one more coat would bring out the deepness of the color, because as you can see in the bottle it really is quite dark.

I am pretty positive this is an old discontinued color, but if you like jellies and can find this one pick it up, it's a fun vampy color!
