After my day off yesterday I thought I'd ease myself back in with some nice nail varnish swatches. So here are three more from the China Glaze Holiday 2010 collection. I'm starting to notice something a bit special about a lot of these colours. It's almost invisible to the naked eye in most cases but many of the polishes have absolutely minute red, silver and green sparkles, whatever the overall shade is. Its a gorgeous Christmassy touch!
First up is Sugar Plums:
This is a medium-deep red with a lot of teeny glitter in it. It's sadly for me much more beautiful in the bottle than it is on the nail, but its nice enough And here's close up of some blurry shimmer:
Next up is Cheers To You:
It's a pretty but ordinary silver foil. I don't like these on me much but I must say I also have China Glaze Millenium and I'm not sure what the difference is but much prefer the application of this one.
Saving the best till last, Peace On Earth:
The flash brings this up a little brighter than it really is:
I don't think there's much I can say, the pictures speak for themselves, all I can add is that it applies perfectly and I'd be surprised if this doesn't end up my favourite of the whole collection.
Finally, a glorious close up.
Any of these take your fancy? I might have to do more than three per post otherwise we'll be here all year!
These are gorgeous - especially the Peace on Earth, I have a thing for a good green/gold. Get Lippie has just posted about NARS Mash, do you think they are similar at all? This looks slightly more goldy to me. Both lovely though. Thanks for the post and pics. Jan x
ReplyDeletePeace on Earth is a really beautiful color.
ReplyDeletePeace on Earth looks very nice and Jan has broken my thought about whether this is in any way similar to Mash x
ReplyDeletethanks all, I don't know how like Mash it is, I'm sure its close if not a dupe...
ReplyDeleteI would love cg millenium - cant get it anymore if you want to sell?
