China Glaze You've Got Blackmail

Press Sample

I'm on the back half of the China Glaze Halloween 2019 "Catch a Colour" collection and today I have You've Got Blackmail which is a black based textured polish. 

China Glaze Arrest In Peace

Press Sample

The other glitter topper in the China Glaze "To Catch A Colour" Halloween 2019 collection is called Arrest In Peace. This is a light black (not grey) watery base with black shards, black small and medium hexagonal glitter and just a pinch of copper orange microglitter.

China Glaze Get Off My Cold Case

Press Sample

It turns out I had the entire "To Catch A Colour" Halloween 2019 collection from China Glaze here so I figured let's go ahead and finish off this 6 piece set the next few days. Today I have Get Off My Cold Case, which is orange shreds and microglitter along with black small and medium hexagonal glitter all in a clear base.  However, my base is definitely tinted orange, so it looks like this one is a bleeder.

China Glaze Private Side-Eye

Press Sample

This polish is not black. Today I decided to pull from a pile of China Glaze that I had from 2019. I originally didn't know what color this was but it's Private Side-Eye from the "To Catch A Colour" Halloween collection. This is a super dark purple with rainbow reflective glitter, almost a scattered holo.

China Glaze Take The High Rodeo

Press Sample

So on Friday, I showed you a polish where I was testing a prototype top coat. Unfortunately, my top coat chipped the very next morning and because I can't deal with chipped nail polish, it was time to change my polish the next day. Today I have Take The High Rodeo from the China Glaze Gone West Fall 2019 collection. This is a rose-mauve polish with golden shimmer.

China Glaze Monsterpiece

Press Sample
It's been over two years since I wrote about China Glaze. It's funny how this was MY BRAND when I got into the beauty blog world... so much so that I wanted to call my blog "China Glaze Galore." There's a lot that this brand did for me, and did right. They will always have a place in my heart. Today I'm wearing Monsterpiece from the China Glaze x Sesame Street "You Do Hue" collection that came out in Fall 2019. This is a pink scattered holo with a touch of berry.

China Glaze Teal the Fever

Press Sample
I'm still clearing off my desk and didn't realize that I had China Glaze Teal the Fever sitting here from the 2017 Glam Finale collection. This is a blue/green glitter sitting in a clear base.

China Glaze Pret-A-Potion

Press Sample
Woo it's time! While my oldest is a tad old for Trick or Treating and my youngest is too young, it still means I'm going to eat all the Reeses Peanut Butter Cups I can find. Let's share the final shade of the Paint It Black collection with Pret-A-Potion. This is a black microglitter in a clear base, best worn as a topper.

China Glaze Night And Slay

Press Sample
Happy Halloween! Today I decided to use the Paint It Black China Glaze shade called Night and Slay. This is a glitter bomb filled with holographic and rainbow reflective glitter in a clear base. Who doesn't love an explosion of glitter?

China Glaze Ash & Burn

Press Sample
Next up in the Paint It Black Halloween collection of China Glaze is Ash & Burn, this crazy mix of black and orange glitters in a black base. This reminds me a lot of Smoke & Ashes from the Capitol Colours/Hunger Games collection that came out back in 2012. While the bottle didn't wow me, I was really impressed with the outcome.

China Glaze Maliboo-Boo

Press Sample
After the successful reboot of OMG!, I was really excited to see China Glaze pull out a holographic black for the Paint It Black collection. Maliboo-Boo doesn't look like a huge party in the bottle but just wait until this baby hits the light.

China Glaze Wicked Liquid

Press Sample
The second shade in the Paint It Black collection that I grabbed for was Wicked Liquid, a dark golden green shimmer that almost looks like a metallic. Aptly named!

China Glaze Shadies & Gentlemen

Press Sample
This summer when I got to see the preview of China Glaze's Halloween Collection called "Paint It Black", I was most stoked for this beautiful matte black called Shadies and Gentlemen. It looked just like an untouched chalkboard and I was obsessed.

China Glaze Disco Ball Drop

Press Sample
When I first saw China Glaze Disco Ball Drop from the Glam Finale collection, I was hoping that this was more than just a glitter bomb in a bottle. However, as soon as I opened the bottle, I found out that this was just multiple sizes of rainbow reflective and silver glitters in a clear base so I decided to layer it over my existing China Glaze New Year, New Boo manicure.

China Glaze New Year, New Boo

Press Sample
I love vampy blues on nubbins so I was stoked to try out China Glaze New Year, New Boo from the Glam Finale collection. This is a super dark midnight blue with just a hint of shimmer to make it dance in the light.

China Glaze Sparkle On

Press Sample

When I first saw China Glaze Sparkle On, I was stoked because it's such a pretty red glitter! However, when I opened it up, I was pretty sad. For starters, the formula was thick like glue. I ended up putting TONS of thinner in it to try and make it easier to use. Also, while it is a red glitter in a red tinted base, it just didn't look like it was going to work well for me.

China Glaze Santa's Side Chick

Press Sample
Last week, I realized that somehow my master spreadsheet of nail polish was deleted. I think it had to do with the account that I used on Google Sheets but the end result is that I have a spreadsheet from 2015 and nothing newer. However, this has also made me really want to get through my purge. I'm working hard to push out nail polish and figure out what I really want to keep. Today I'm using China Glaze Santa's Side Chick from the Glam Finale collection.

China Glaze Slay Bells Ring

Press Sample
I'm not sure why I've been reaching for greys lately, but today is another by China Glaze. This is from the Glam Finale collection and it's called Slay Bells Ring. It's a gunmetal grey with some shimmer properties.

China Glaze As Good As It Glitz

Press Sample
Happy Thursday! Today I have another China Glaze polish from the Glam Finale (Winter 2017) called As Good As It Glitz. I thought this was going to be like Toast It Up - all pearl like and watery but I was actually rather surprised!

China Glaze Toast It Up

Press Sample
I have some exciting news coming soon and it requires a clean desk for me so I'm going through some more polishes that are sitting around, waiting to be worn and written about. Today is one that has been here for over 6 months, partially because I've been giving it the side eye. This is China Glaze Toast It Up from the Glam Finale collection.
