Hey y'all! Today I have the Holiday collection to show you from China Glaze. While I know my post is a little late, hopefully this will serve as a reminder or suggestions for last minute gifts!
There's a good mixture of finishes & shades with this collection. I definitely have a few favorites! As usual, I used Seche Vite as my top coat. There's a TON of pics, so lets get to it.....
Mix and Mingle - 3 coats - Vivid deep purple creme. This acts more like a crelly (creamy jelly) and almost reminds me of Barney purple.
Son Of A Nutcracker - 2 coats - Fiery red-orange pearl. This almost looks a more pink toned coral. It's one of my fav's...and the name cracks me up too.
Wine Down For What? - 2 coats - Rich red creme. Definitely a wine/merlot/oxblood type shade & another of my fav's. Of course the name on this one is #winning too.
Peppermint To Be - 2 coats - Glittering Ruby shimmer. While I didn't compare this to Ruby Pumps, I think this is more pink/red than the true red that Ruby Pumps is. I also think the shimmer on this one is smaller.
Don't Get Elfed Up - 2 coats - Glistening deep emerald shimmer. In the pictures, this appears to be a blackened blue base with a blue/teal shifty shimmer. In the bottle it looks blue/purple, but the purple only appears on the nail when it's not being hit by direct light. So, it does show up, just not in any pictures I could capture it in.
Ugly Sweater Party - 3 coats - Multi-dimensional red glitter. This seemed more red than pink to me, and the base to this was pink tinged as well. I couldn't quite tell if the larger glitters were purple or holo. On my laptop monitor(as I'm typing this) they look blue. So, I'm guessing holo?
I Soiree I Didn't Do It - 3 coats - Bright and cheery green glitter. It looks more teal to me & was super difficult to photograph, almost like it's pixelated. Some of the glitters in this look holo, but they're all too small to tell for sure.
Better Not Pout - 2 coats - Merry berry pearl. It's like a deep pink berry metallic.
Brand Spankin' New Year - 1 coat over Mix And Mingle - Deep prismatic purple glitter. Purple jelly base with purple & holo glitters.
Coal Hands, Warm Heart - 1 coat layered & sponged over Peppermint To Be - Midnight blue holographic glitter. I didn't, and kinda still don't, see "blue" in this....I see more black with holo & purple glitter.
Bring On The Bubbly - 1 coat over Better Not Pout - Gleaming gold glitter. Gold & holo glitters in a clear base. No issues with application of these.
Break The Ice - 1 coat over Don't Get Elfed Up - Icy prismatic silver glitter. This is a clear base with holo glitters and shards.
Bonus: I Soiree I Didn't Do It sponged over Wine Down For What? I had to do this color combo as soon as I saw these 2 shades. I would've done this as a separate post, but thought I'd throw it on here as a bonus!
I had zero issues with any of these polishes. Though, I'd definitely suggest layering for ALL of the glitters. Otherwise you're just going to end up with several layers for opacity. Make sure to check below for more info on this collection! :D
