China Glaze Strike Up A Cosmo

Press Sample

I'm back with another China Glaze polish. This is Strike Up A Cosmo, a rose pink foil/metallic/shimmer from the 2013 Autumn Nights collection. I was really excited about this collection because I got to see it up close and personal at Cosmoprof North America. This was a 12 piece collection that had lots of beautiful jewel tones.

Great Lakes Lacquer Love Times Five

Nothing To Disclose
In the same Helmer as my rouge China Glaze, I have my Great Lakes Lacquer polish. I decided to pull all the ones I haven't worn before and I was surprised there was only 4 bottles. I have been selling and trading some of these which is why I only have 10 now in my collection. One thing I love about GLL is that they have done a lot with flakies. Today I have Love Times Five, which was a PolishCon Minneapolis VIP Bag Exclusive. This is a teal blue polish with multicolored flakies and blue microglitter/shimmer.

China Glaze Ho! Ho! No.

Press Sample
Nearly 10% of my collection is China Glaze, and yet I've only worn about a quarter of them so I'm going through those drawers next. If you've been following my blog for awhile, you'll know that China Glaze was my first polish love and I was able to actually work with the brand for several years before they changed their PR and ultimately, their entire brand. Today I have Ho! Ho! No. from "The Grinch" Holiday 2018 collection. This was a collaboration with the animated Grinch movie that came out that year with Benedict Cumberbatch as the Grinch and Pharrell Williams as the Narrator.  This is a red based polish with gold microglitter.

Finally at the last polish in the cuccio Fall/Winter 2022 Speakeasy collection and this is Giggle Water, a blue/grey duochrome metallic. This is a color you've seen before by several different brands.

I only have two more polishes in the cuccio Fall/Winter 2022 Speakeasy collection and this is The Cat's Pajamas, a blurple duochrome. Now cuccio says this is blurple but to me, this is more purple-black.
