After some weeks, I'm finally back with the rest of my glittery picks from the
China Glaze Holiday Joy Collection.
First up is
Glitter All The Way:

Glitter All The Way is an amazing mix of fine gold, purple and red glitter and larger green hex glitter in a clear base. It's so festive and screams party time! I feel like it'd be great for New Years and Mardi Gras too. Application was really good. I used 3 thin coats which gave complete coverage and the glitter lays very flat to the nail. I think I still used 2 layers of NYC GCS top coat to smooth it out, but it's not gritty at all.
China Glaze Winter Holly

Winter Holly is a mix of ultra-fine milled forest green, purple and holographic gold glitter. I didn't actually realise that it contained the purple glitter until I saw he photographs buy I can see that that's what makes Winter Holly so rich and pretty! This has a similar application to all the other same styled glitters ChG has released this year. I applied 3 thin coats for full coverage and a couple layers of Glitter Tamer to make it smooth and shiny.
China Glaze Champagne Kisses

Champagne Kisses is a mix of ultra-fine golden and pale pink glitters. I didn't really notice any holo glitter in CK but there seems to be a very sparse smattering of them in the macro shot. Overall, it does look to be a champagne shade, but I don't love it. Maybe it's just a bit blah compared to the others? Application is the same as Winter Holly and you need at least 2 layers of viscous top coat to make it smooth and shiny.
Now Champagne Kisses may look very similar to the
I'm Not Lion and
I Herd That glitters from
On Safari (Fall 2012), but it looks quite different in person. I'm compiling a list of comparisons I need to swatch this year (because I NEVER do those posts) and CK will definitely feature in one!
So I only picked up glitters this year, and I'm pretty pleased with all of them. Did anyone buy the creme and shimmers from Holiday Joy? If so, which ones and would you recommend them?

ReplyDeleteGlitter all the way is amazing!!! :)
ReplyDeleteI love Winter Holly...Haven't used Glitter All The Way, yet, but I like it because it's versatile enough for any time of year!
ReplyDeleteBought A couple of these because of GATW, but ended up liking Winter Holly more.
