China Glaze iPhone/iPad App

iPhone apps are awesome. I've been spending a lot of quality time with Skee-Ball 2 lately, but for my nail polish needs, China Glaze came out with their own app last month.  Not only do they have the normal "try on the color" and "recent collections" but they have this "Match a Color" picker where you can take a photo with your iPhone camera or pick from your camera roll and then press on the photo where you want to pick from and the app will give you a China Glaze color in that range.  And the best part? It's free. Please enjoy the following.

Users can determine which shade looks best on them by adjusting the nail length and skin tone to match their own hand, and save desired shades to the device’s camera roll for easy reference.

Sharing is caring, and in the colorful world of China Glaze®, “What’s Haute” is the place to see what’s hot. Connect here with the brand to see real-time updates of new collections, nail trends and “how-to” video feeds from the official China Glaze® YouTube Channel.  All features on the China Glaze® App allows users to share their favorite shades with their social media networks including Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and Instagram.

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?"
