I saw this color online and I fell in love with it right away. I even thought about ordering 5 bottles of it since it was limited edition and I was afraid it would sell out. Good thing I didn't because once I received it in the mail, I was extremely disappointed. The color is far from the true Tiffany blue- I know it's not suppose to be the exact same color, just an inspired version, but from what I saw online, it looked almost exactly like the true Tiffany blue. Even in swatches provided by bloggers, it looked a lot like Tiffany blue. I'm starting to think I received a bad/wrong bottle of it because the "For Audrey" bottle I have next to me and swatched on my nails look very different than the swatches I've seen online. The bottle I have is just a light sky blue/baby blue color. A typical, plain, crayon baby blue.

for the color alone it would be 5 lippies but the consistency of it brand new is too thick, i will add thinner next time. Also had to take off another lippie for the horribly thin china glaze brush, i wish they would redesign their brushes. but the color is so unique, and i would repurchase

i love this nailpolish! it was my first experience with china glaze, and it will not be my last :). the color is beautiful, exact tiffany blue. however, i couldnt see myself using up the whole bottle. its a fun polish to have & it looks beautiful on my toes.. but i rarely go through polishes. the only complaint i have is about the consistency - i too had to add a thinner.

I loved this color when I first got it. It was aodrable on my toes. Ppl either loved it or hated it on me. But they did all agree that it's a unique color. My boss said it reminded him of the 70's. It was fun to wear during the summer but it's kind of novelty-ish so I probably won't repurchase. It was also thick and kind of hard to apply..I had to add thinner.

I got this nailpolish in a swap from a GREAT swapper. I love this color, it's spot-on Tiffany's blue which I love. The name is so creative too, really nice.
Application: I did however notice the brush picked up A LOT of product when coming out of the bottle. In two coats I had Tiffany's Blue.
Wear: I put on OPI top coat but no base coat. I wore it to work yesterday and today and got tons of compliments on it. At the end of the day today I did notice a bit of thinning to the color. I work at makeup counter so I spray alcohol and fragrance on my hands all day...and I usually don't experience this. No chips though.

I had a little trouble applying For Audrey. It was thick and streaky. I used a polish thinner, and that helped a little. It took 3 coats to make it opaque, which is fine because I usually do 3 coats of color. For Audrey had great staying power on my toes (I haven't tried it for a mani). I wore it for a week, and there were no chips when I removed it. All in all, I like this color. I think it probably would look better on someone with a darker/tanned skin tone. I doubt I will wear this during the winter when I am pale, but I did enjoy wearing it this summer. If I run out of this, I will buying it again.

I love this polish. It applied well, and looked great on me. My friend immediately noticed and complemented me. She said I should wear it more often. Plus, it was very opaque, almost in one coat. I put two on anyway. Sally's now carries this and so it is readily available. If you like blue polish get this. You'll love it. Go out and get this one. It's a keeper!

Great color. Very unique in my small town WV, lol. Looks more blue in direct light and a little green in shadow. This polish was a little thick when I was applying it and kinda scared me, but it actually did well and hasn't chipped or worn on the tips after a full SAHM day including doing dishes. Very pleased!

I thought it was pretty easy to apply. First layer looks pretty streaky but after two layers (and base) the color was even and opaque. It dried quickly too.The staying power was fantastic. I've used this on my toe nails and if it wasn't for growth I wouldn't have had to redo them when I eventually did. No chipping whatsoever.

After removing I did notice a slight staining of my cuticles that lasted for one or two showers but nothing major. It did come off very easily when it was time.

It does separate but I didn't have a problem getting it to come together before using.

Absolutely adore this Tiffany inspired color. It's a must have for summer.

For Audrey was one of my first forays into the world of polish that wasn't a shade of red or pink. I found the formula to be rather thick, but it really applied well to my nails. Two coats covered well. I received many nice compliments on my nails, it was pretty exciting. Then I put it away to experiment with many, many, other colors.

Last week I pulled it out of the drawer again. It had separated. I carefully rolled it for what seemed like an hour until it resembled its original color. I wore it for a week without chipping, but some shrinkage on the tips do to the fast dry top coat.

I usually buy my polish at 8y8 so it is rather inexpensive. I would have giving this a 4 for the overall rating if it hadn't separated.

The consistency of the polish seemed quite thick on application, but it did level out OK and the had a hi-gloss finish for the 4 days I wore it.

No chips or wear over the 4 days, I took it off as I wanted a change of colour, Was easy to remove and didn't leave my skined stained blue as some have.

I think the colour is quite unique and it is what I think of as a 'true turquoise' - like the turquoise stone. A real summer colour for me - want to put it on my toes next.

1 coat of Nailtek II Foundation as base + 2 layers of For Audrey + 1 coat of Nailtek II Replenishing

I'm going to start off by saying that I reallllly wanted to love this, but I just couldn't (so far). The color in the bottle is beautiful and perfect, but on my nails it was a completely different color. I'll try using only 1 coat next time, but I used 2 coats over my HG clear base coat and the color was almost light teal, more greenish than Tiffany baby blue.

Also, the color kept separating in the bottle no matter how much I shook it, which then showed up as alternating light teal and dark teal streaks in the first coat, necessitating a second coat which made it too dark.

It does last well and dries to a glossy creme finish, so it's still nice, just not the color that it is in the bottle. I'll definitely try again, but for now, I'm disappointed in this color which got so many raves.

China Glaze is my HG polish brand and I am in love with their consistency, ease of application, and many of their colors, so I know it's this specific polish that I do not enjoy. If anyone is hesistant to try other CG polishes after 'For Audrey', don't be! The other ones are way more awesome than this one and apply like a dream!

I got this from Head2ToeBeauty for $2.99, but apparently it's cheaper at 8ty8Beauty, which I'll be trying next.

I love this color. Ever since I saw it in a magazine 6 months ago I've been looking for it in stores. I finally saw it at Sally today and I just put it on. The only other China Glaze polish I've used it a top coat and it was fine. Unfortunately while the color for this polish is awesome, the application is not. I agree with the reviewers who say the application is streaky, uneven, gloppy, and suchlike. It took a lot of coats to get it mostly opaque and it looked really bad between the coats. O prefer a more even application like OPI and even the NYC nail polishes. I'll gave this another try before I see if I can return it though/

This is a great summer polish for someone who may be a little neon shy. It's a fun robin's egg blue with just a touch of green. It's a China Glaze so the formula's pretty reliable. I just wish their brush was a little more conducive to painting my nails. Overall though, I recommend this polish to anyone who's looking for some color without trying to shout.

For Audrey is my first China Glaze nail polish, and it has far exceeded my expectations! I saw swatches of this robin egg blue color and I knew I immediately had to order it. It is a Tiffany's inspired blue, and I just have to say that the color is so beautiful! In fact, I love it so much that I went ahead and ordered 2 bottles. I don't know if any other company will ever come out with such a perfect pale aqua color, so I never want to run out!
The application was amazing, and probably the best when compared to OPI and Essie. The first coat went on super smoothly and was opaque. I added a second one because I wanted to truly bring the color to life. I topped it off with Qtica Extended Wear Topcoat and the result was a *shiny* Tiffany's blue nail color. My sister, who is into nudes and sheers absolutely hates bright nail colors, however this is the first time she actually commented positively on my nail polish.
I would definetly purchase For Audrey again if China Glaze were to make it a core line color. I am very pleased with the results and I will be ordering more ChG's in the future as they seem to have really unique color selections.

All in all, if you're like me and turquoise and aqua are your favorite colors, then run out to get For Audrey while it's still available. It is extremely wearable, chic, unique and definetly a color that will suit most skintones.
Two thumbs up!

I was so excited when I purchased this polish but after application the only thing I like about this nail polish is the color. It's a very nice Tiffany blue but I had problems with application. Even with 2 coats, it's still streaky and I found the polish to be runny but at the same time too gloppy thick. The thin brush didn't help with the streakyness. I also noticed bubbles when the polish dried. I thought that maybe it was too hot out and that was the cause of the bubbles and gloppiness. I applied it again a second time during cooler weather and had the same problem. This is the first time I've tried CG and I don't think I'll try it again if all of their polishes are of this quality. Maybe I got a bad batch or it's an old bottle? Otherwise, I will stick to Essie or OPI.

Wow! You get a bottle true color with 1 coat with FOR AUDREY; a solid, crème color the almost-exact shade of a Tiffany & CO box. You can wear this color all year round & it looks great with my nw15 coloring. It’s very different from my usual shades, but I’m loving it.


CHINA GLAZE is smooth to apply, leaving no bubbles or streaks. I was impressed with the drying time; 5 minutes after application it was touch dry & 10 minutes after application I was rummaging through drawers, there were no chips or smudges. I hadn’t applied a top coat at that point. This is includes nail hardening ingredients; color & care in one!!
