China Glaze Crystal Ball

Nothing To Disclose
Today is another oldie by China Glaze called Crystal Ball from the 2001 Platinum Series and was re-released in the 2005 Urban Chic. I'm pretty sure this is the 2005 bottle. This is a red polish that originally had micro-holographic glitter but my bottle just has gold shimmer at this point.

China Glaze On The Rocks

Nothing To Disclose
I have another oldie China Glaze today! This is On The Rocks, a sheer seafoam aqua/green nail with aqua micro-shimmer. This was from the 2006 Tequila Toes collection. Talk about a throwback.

China Glaze Nickel Ice

Nothing To Disclose
Here's a real throwback today! I have China Glaze Nickel Ice, a grey iridescent pearl shimmer. The pearl leans pink. This is a pre-2000, original core-line polish. I don't have the exact year it came out but with all the talk about the China Glaze rebrand (I'm writing this prior to the big release news on April 20), I thought it would be fun to revisit my oldies.

China Glaze Fall From Grace

Nothing To Disclose
If you're an OG to the blog, you know that I was originally addicted to China Glaze and was fortunate enough to receive press samples from them for years. Unfortunately, I haven't seen much of them in the last few years and they haven't put out a collection since Spring 2014. Today I have China Glaze Fall From Grace from the Halloween 2023 "Serpentine" collection. This is a navy jelly with tons of blue and purple sparkles.

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.

China Glaze Silver Lining

Nothing To Disclose
I was obsessed with the Specialty Colors collection that China Glaze came out with back in 2009. Today I have China Glaze Silver Lining, a silver glitter in a clear base. This polish was repromoted in 2013 for the Shades of Gray nail kit.

China Glaze Metropolitan

Nothing To Disclose
Why did I have this beauty locked away? I found this bottle of China Glaze Metropolitan in a box behind my desk so I thought it was time to wear it. This is a deep burgundy red with brown undertones and bronze gold micro-shimmer from the 2005 Urban Chic collection. I also have Rapture and Crystal Ball from this collection. 

China Glaze Combat Blue-TS

Press Sample
I was moving polishes from one drawer to another when I came across this beauty from China Glaze - Combat Blue-TS from the Rebel Fall 2016 collection. This is such a rich blue matte and I could not WAIT to wear it.

China Glaze Dat Color Dough

Press Sample

China Glaze is playing with my heart. So I'm almost finished with the "You Do Hue" 2019 collection with Sesame Street. When I wore Free To Be Sesame, I was so excited. So when I saw Dat Color Dough, which is a blue glitter in a clear base, I thought it was going to be the same pay off.

China Glaze Free To Be Sesame

Okay China Glaze, you're finally getting my attention with the "You Do Hue" 2019 collection with Sesame Street.

China Glaze Fur Real Though

Press Sample
It is wild that I started this blog almost 13 years ago. Today I have the brand that started it all for me - China Glaze. This is Fur Real Though from the "You Do Hue" 2019 collection, a celebration collaboration with Sesame Street's 50th Anniversary. I loved Sesame Street as a kid, but my three boys were not interested. This is a squishy fuschia pink polish that is not quite a jelly but leans that way.
