China Glaze Holiday Joy Collection 2012: ANGEL WINGS & GLISTENING SNOW

Pin It

Hey ladies!

I worked for (almost) a whole day standing by a photocopier scanning documents...
Yet I'm surprisingly upbeat, go figure!

It might be because so many polishes are on their way to my doorstep, eeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!

Before I bit my nails to the quick, I managed to swatch the gold and silver super fine holo glitters from China Glaze's holiday collection. As soon as I saw the publicity still, with a Christmas puppy I knew I had to have as many of these as possible. Half the set is glitter, epic win ChG!!!!!!

Angel Wings is a devine super fine milled holo gold glitter in a clear base. It's a dupe for last year's Ulta Exclusive ULTAmate Holiday. On me I see a distinct chartreuse leaning in the shade, which I love!!! The coverage is great, wearable at 2 coats but I think it looks best after 3 like above. You may choose to thin it, because these fine glitters are low on base thus quite thick. She's a thirsty b**** too so I recommend at least 2 layers of thick top coat.

China Glaze Glistening Snow

Glistening Snow is a super bling-y ultra-fine silver holo glitter. A pure white-silver! Exact same formula as AW but somehow it is even more holo-tastic!!!! Some peeps don't seem too into GS and I have no idea why?!!!! It's too perfect and bonus, flattering on my warm toned skin. Not many (if any) silvers are as kind to me.

Angel Wings and Glistening Snow are much more holo in person, and made my camera freak out a lot (so please excuse the blurry pics). Try to let each coat dry fully to avoid any glitter dragging, cos these glitters are prone to a bit of movement.

I hope to bring you swatches of 3 more Holiday Joy glitters soon. Please grow back nails. I just want you long enough to squoval!!!!
