Alright... This is my Under The Boardwalk. You can see its a pinkish, slightly leaning purple jelly... Apparently there's two formulas of this polish floating around. There is also a very purple version. If you want to see both of them side by side you can check out this post by The Polishaholic. She found both of them and compared them. It's a shame China Glaze didn't make sure they were the same. I don't mind having the pinkish version because it's gorgeous, but I also wish there weren't two versions floating around.

Application for this one was great for me. All the photos here are two coats without top coat. Although it was great for me, some people may not like to apply it. Since it is a jelly it does have a thin consistency and I know a lot of people hate polishes like that. I love them! I don't know what it is about jelly polishes, but they are just my love. Even though it does have that thin consistency I didn't feel like it was too runny or impossible to apply. You do need to make sure your brush isn't loaded full of polish or you will get running and pooling at your cuticles. No one wants that! This one dried weird. In some spots it was shiny, and in others it was slightly matte. I don't really know what was up with that, but I'm not going to lie it looked pretty cool! Unfortunately, you can't see that in the photos.
