Twinsie Tuesday: China Glaze Too Yacht To Handle

I have to say I was pretty stumped for this week's Twinsie Tuesday theme: beach-inspired. I wasn't really sure what direction to go with this one and I'm sure my fellow Twinsies will get much more creative than I did. But neon polish always makes me think of lying out in the sun at the beach, so I went with a neon for my beach mani--specifically, China Glaze Too Yacht To Handle from the new Sunsational Collection. It's a bright aqua creme that is absolutely to die for! I fell hard for this beautifully vivid and cheerful shade of blue!

The color may be amazing, but unfortunately I can't say the same about the formula. I've read a lot of mixed reviews about the formulas in this collection and Too Yacht To Handle was a bit of a problem child for me. It has a ton of drag to it, in addition to being fairly streaky. It was opaque in three coats, but I wound up doing four to touch up some brushstroke marks and even out areas where the polish didn't self-level. However, I'm willing to overlook the cruddy formula though, because I love this gorgeous color so freaking much! But be warned that Too Yacht To Handle is as temperamental as she is beautiful.

So there you have it: my rather uninspired beach mani. I hope my Twinsies will forgive me for not being very imaginative with this one. :) What colors do you like to wear for a lazy day at the beach?
