China Glaze Phat Santa

Hey it's another China Glaze 2010 Winter Collection red!  I was a tiny bit overwhelmed by having 4 reds but at the same time, they are all different.  Phat Santa is listed as a red creme, but it applied really nice and squishy like a jelly.  Good formula, but there was some VNL.


I used a base of Seche Natural, 2 coats of Phat Santa, and a top of Seche Vite.  Squishy red coming up!

In the sun you can see my smile line (the white part of my nail) on my middle finger and pinkie.  My pinkie had a trama so I had a little bit of blood seeped under my smile line, which you can see here.  You can eliminate VNL by using a nude base color for your nails, or for a bright pop, a coat of white underneath.

SQUISH!  In the shade, this color isn't as jelly like but still very smooth.  I did not receive Ruby Deer to review, but will be purchasing one, but apparently Phat Santa is a shade darker.  -squishy-  Heh.

China Glaze Mommy Kissing Santa

Mmmm reds.  I do love reds.  I didn't think I loved reds until I started wearing reds.  There's something about red.  Mommy Kissing Santa is one of a few reds from the new 'Tis the Season, also called "Naughty or Nice" China Glaze 2010 Winter Collection.  It reminds me of a big shiny red Christmas ornament.  I have to stop taking my pictures so late in the day - check out that 5 o'clock shadow.


I used a base coat of Seche Natural, 2 coats of Mommy Kissing Santa, and a top of Seche Vite.  It's a very nice dark red shimmer.  Very nice formula - not runny or thick.

In the sun you can see that it almost looks two toned but that's just my sun fading away.  It was such a pleasant color to apply - very smooth formula.

In the shade it has such a smooth finish as well - like velvet or something.  I really think this is a great color to wear for your Holiday Party or just even in the spring.  Very happy with this one.  I know it's not terrible original, but I can't think off hand of its dupe right now.
