Hey guys! I have another polish for you from the China Glaze China Glaze City Flourish Peonies & Park Ave portion of the set. Going to be swatching these all individually for you and letting you know my thoughts.

| China Glaze - Spring In My Step |
This is three thick coats of Spring In My Step and one thick coat of HK Girl topcoat. Unfortunately this one had the same troublesome formula I encountered with At Vase Value. In fact the formula on this one was even more difficult to work with and I found with three coats and the topcoat it didn't look as even as At Vase Value.

All three coats were on the thicker side and I let it sit for at least five minutes between each coat and I still had issues. The polish refused to self-level and without topcoat looked much streakier than in the swatches. On my middle finger there is a visible spot where the polish looks patchy. It's still "wearable" in my opinion and a beautiful colour, but unless I absolutely felt I "needed" to wear this colour, I'd probably reach for other polishes in my collection. Just a note regarding the colour, on the bottle-shot it leans a bit less bright and more "peachy". The photo without the bottle is more colour accurate.
I do like the colour of this baby pink, but from reading other blogs it seems that formula issues with pastels is pretty common. I've yet to come across a perfect baby or bubblegum pink that applies streak-free in two coats. Italian Love Affair from OPI comes pretty close with two coats but it's still a bit tricky to apply and leans a smidge darker than what I'd call bubblegum pink.
What do you think, would you still pick this polish up even with a tricky formula? Let me know in the comments and thanks for reading!
