China Glaze Hologlam

Last July, I had this super awesome opportunity to sit down with the ladies behind China Glaze and I was told "You're going to be so excited." and she showed me this.

And I was so excited that I immediately asked if I could take a photo for Instagram, and she said yes and I was so excited that I SPELLED CHINA GLAZE WRONG. Yes, I fan girled out and ruined my one moment.  It's still my most liked photo on Instagram and I'm really grateful for the opportunity.

So the press release came out and moreso, the polishes are out! I have them here on my desk but I'm almost been afraid to touch them, partly because there has been some controversy about "how holo are they?"

NCLA As If!

Press Sample

So NCLA came out with their "Life's a Beach" pastel spring collection and I immediately grabbed the purple As If! to wear.  Yes, that is purple up there. The absence of color makes it hard to tell but wait until it's on my nails.  I used a base of Cult Nails Get It On, 2 coats of polish and a top coat of Cult Nails Wicked Fast.  Formula was super creamy, opaque, and perfect.

Look how awesome this is. I know that several companies did a pastel purple this spring but I love this one.

In the shade, this color looks a little more blue that purple but it's purple, I promise.

I'm especially partial to this indoor shot - I love how soft and delicate this color is.

Finally in some indirect light. Beautiful and perfect.

NCLA [Website] [Facebook] [Twitter] [Tumblr] [Pinterest] [Instagram] is available on the website for $16.00 a bottle and in a variety of stores.

Disclosure: The product[s] in this post was [were] provided to me by the company for consideration.  For more information, please read this post.
