All the polishes I have shown you so far are pretty recent releases. But then there are always those Oldies but Goldies from a couple of years back that I still love and use. Today I want to show you one of them: China Glaze Sky High Top from their Kicks Collection released for summer 2009:
Both pictures taken indoors in artificial light. While in the above picture you can just get a glimpse at its beautiful aqua shimmer this blue gem changes its appearance depending on how light falls onto the nails. In the photo below it looks leans towards a cornflower blue.
Sky High Top has a great formula. It glided evenly on the nail and hardly left bald spots. However drying time is on the slow side and most certainly not my pick for a quick mani ;-) Still this is one of my true Oldies but Goldies and having swatched it for this post just reminded me how much I love it and I am wearing it not often enough :-(.
Do you have an Oldie but Goldie that you wear not often enough? If so, which one?
I order my China Glaze polishes with Head2Toe and Transdesign.
I look forward to reading your comments - thanks for visiting!!!

I'm glad you are showing an oldie. We get so wrapped up in the new releases that it's hard to wear the old ones. I have a bunch that I love that just get lost in the shuffle. Recently I thought about wearing Chanel Peridot again...the polish that is responsible for me having a blog in the first place:)
ReplyDeleteHi Essie, thank you so much, I am so happy you liked my dive into the polish past :-)!!!! How appropriate for Peridot to have been the ignition to start your Blog - I will be ever grateful to it, since I am such a fan of your Blog!!!! xxx
Deleteahhh, thanks so much. You really know how to make a girl feel good:)
DeleteOh, I have a lot of oldies and goodies! I should wear them more often!! I don't have this one but I should :D
ReplyDeleteHi Ina, I would love to see your stash, I am sure you have real treasures in your chest ;-)!!! And thank you xxx
DeleteHi love!
ReplyDeleteI absolutly love this one! It's sooo beautiful!!
I've looked at it so many times but never bought it... I must get it some day!!
Does it dry slow even with a speedy top coat on? Like Seche Vite or such.

Hi doll!! Thank you xxx!!!! I always wait until the polish is just dry to the touch before applying ANY Top Coat. I find while I need some patience during application it hardens through a lot quicker (read bed sheet marks - LOL). I waited about 10 minutes in- between applying coats. xxx
DeleteHi Christine! An awesome colour you're showing us! This looks so well on you, I do not own it, but I could not possibly pull out a colour like this. I have several oldies that I do not wear as much as I'd like! I'm thinking of OPI Jade is the new black right now.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the lovely swatch! xx
Salut dear Nati, as always xxx for your lovely comment!!! Oh of course JITNB!!! I totally forgot about this one, poor thing lives a neglected life in my Helmer :-(!! I also felt s bit guilty for having had Sky High Top hidden for so long - we simply don't have enough hands for all this polish ;-)!!! Have a lovely day - bisous
DeleteI seriously need to check this one out on Ebay!! Looks very gorgeous on you! My most neglected polish is a Chanel actually: Ciel de nuit, it's gorgeous yet somewhere in the back of my stash :(
ReplyDeleteThank you xxx!!! Oh Chanel Ciel de nuit is incredibly beautiful. Sky High Top is also available on Head2Toe for USD 3.25 - just in case ;-).
