![]() But once I saw that all of the polishes were glitters, I was really thinking that this was going to be the redemption China Glaze needed after several disappointing collections (Vain Villans and Don’t Give A Sip). As someone who in general doesn’t like holiday releases, that was a big shock. I was SO excited and pumped about this holiday collection. ![]() I am torn on how I feel about this collection. My photos show Queen Of Bling in 3 coats plus 2 coats of top coat. If you want 0 visible nail, sponging this on would be the route to go. I will note, this is the type of “full coverage” glitter where you can see your nail in between the space of the glitters. Texture wise, nothing in here is super textured but the glitters do seem a little top coat hungry.įor full coverage, this polish will be a solid 3 coater.Coverage is sparse enough in 1 coat that this will work well as a topper. I think there are also some small metallic gold flakes in here. The glitters in here are pretty small in comparison to the other polishes in this release (with the exception of Get Your Glitter On). This was the polish that I thought was going to be my favorite just based on colors. This polish is incredibly sparkly and looks really beautiful on the nail. I didn’t have any application issues outside of needing thinner. Queen Of Bling had a good formula, once I added some thinner to it. If It Sparkles It’s Mineĭescription: a clear base with metallic gold glitters in a few sizes with (maybe?) gold metallic flakes My photos show I Speak Glitter in 3 coats plus 2 coats of top coat. With the exception of a spot where I had a glitter hanging off the side of my nail, that smoothed this out nicely. So I did pair this one with a glitter smoothing top coat before my quick dry top coat. This polish dries down pretty textured due to the sheer amount of glitters in this polish. I wish they came out easier and/or there were more of them. I just feel that you have to be looking really closely at the nails to see the star glitters. My only complaint about this polish is I thought the star glitters get kind of lost in the mix of bar and hex glitters. ![]() I was able to get a few out on then ail without doing any fishing but I did find that stars get kind of lost after 3 coats. The hex and bar glitters come out pretty easily but the star glitters are a bit more shy. I Speak Glitter had a good formula, once I added some thinner to it. I Speak Glitterĭescription: a clear base with metallic turquoise hex glitter, silver holo bar glitters and silver holo star shaped glitter I did end up doing some glitter placement as I had to push the glitters around with my brush to even out coverage. My photos show Glitter Is The New Black in 3 coats coats. When built up like in my photos, a glitter smoothing top coat (I use KBShimmer’s Smooth Moves) is going to be your best friend. You get a lot of texture with this one due to the glitter shreds. I realized when recording my live swatch that this looks really cool in 1 coat as a topper. I think this would have been a cool addition to a Halloween collection tbh. I love that China Glaze added holo to this polish as this is the only one in this release that doesn’t scream ‘holiday’ to me. On the negative side, I did have a few times where I had to wipe my brush off on a paper towel to clear my brush off a glob of glitter shreds. So on the positive side, I didn’t need to do any glitter fishing. I found application a little tricky as the black shreds had a tendency to glob together and make for well chunks on the nail. Glitter Is The New Black had a not great but not terrible formula, once I added some thinner. Description: a clear base with black glitter sheds, holographic bar glitter and silver hexes
