China Glaze Capacity To See Beyond

Press Sample

Today I have a throwback from 2014. This is China Glaze Capacity To See Beyond from the Limited Edition "The Giver" collection. This 12 piece collection was released in tandem with the book-turned-movie "The Giver" featuring Jeff Bridges and Meryl Streep. I didn't read the book or watch the movie but after reading a little about it, I think I'd at least catch it on Netflix one day. This is a sky blue creme.

Today I have ella + mila one way ticket from the Elite collection, which is listed as a summertime teal matte. I think maybe my bottle has faded, which happens sometimes with neon teals.

Zoya Venus

This is the final color in the trio from the February Color of the Month, Kismet. This is Venus, and on the website, it says it's a sparkling rose red. However my bottle was very much purple.

Zoya Ono

I'm jumping back to the February Color of the Month, Kismet. This is Ono, and it's a dark berry magenta creme with a tiny hit of berry undertone. I feel like this is more fall than spring.

Zoya Maxine

I'm jumping back to the February Color of the Month, Kismet. This is Maxine, and it's a rich red creme with a tiny hit of berry undertone. It reminds me of a raspberry almost. This is such a bold creme.

I have another Zoya creme from the trio from the January Color of the Month, Yuki. This is Emerson, and it's a pale blue creme. To me, this is the perfect wedding color.

Zoya Madison

I decided to clear off my desk (again) and I needed to post the trio from the January Color of the Month, Yuki. This is Madison, and it's a very pale pink nude crelly. This is the pink I think of when I think about a French manicure.

I remember when the Rescue Beauty Lounge Bloggers 2.0 collection came out and I fell in love with Liberty, a mint-green with blue shimmer. It was created with Pammy from Polish Police.

It's time for Zoya's Color of the Month! This is Kismet, a deep-blushed berry. It came as part of a 4-set with Ono, Maxine, and Venus, or you can just buy it on its own. Don't wait though, it disappears at the end of the month.
