China Glaze Sally Beauty Supply Exclusive 2015

Nothing To Disclose
A couple of weeks ago on Facebook, someone posted about finding new glitters at Sally Beauty Supply so of course, I had to find out more! So last year, you may remember that China Glaze quietly released a set of 6 polishes that were Ulta exclusive: Ultra-Violet, Be Bright Back, Sweet Talk To Me, Cons-Ulta my Manicurist, Diamond In The Rough, and Golden Seal. 

This year, China Glaze has released a set of 8 glitters that are Sally Beauty Supply exclusive! They were quietly added into the China Glaze core line when Sally Beauty Supply remodeled their nails section into the "Nail Studio". They are not limited edition, so feel free to snatch them when you can.

The colors are:

You're Too Sweet

Light pink microglitter in a clear base with rainbow reflective microglitter.

Turn Up The Heat

Magenta, light pink and purple small glitter in a slightly tinted base.

Counting Carats

Gold microglitter with small gold glitter and rainbow reflective microglitter in a clear base.

Pick Me Up Purple

Small lilac glitter with rainbow reflective microglitter in a clear base.

Can You Sea Me?

Light blue microglitter with small rainbow reflective glitter in a slightly tinted base.

Give Me The Green Light!

Aqua and grass green microglitter in a slightly tinted base. Dries matte. Swatch stick has top coat but this is a hungry glitter that eats top coat.

Star Hopping

Dark navy blue and silver microglitter with rainbow reflective microglitter in slightly dark tinted base.

Silver of Sorts

Small and medium silver glitter in a clear base.

Obviously, these aren't the official polish descriptions and rather what I just see with my eyes. I also swatched all polishes on sticks for my Cup O Sticks - 2 coats each with a top coat. I'm still not sure how I want to wear some of these - with a pretty nude undie? By themselves? All polishes were pretty much opaque in just 2 coats, so you can wear them alone but removal might not be as much fun.

What colors stand out to you the most? I really liked You're Too Sweet, Give Me The Green Light! and Silver of Sorts.

China Glaze [Website] [Facebook] [Twitter] can be found online through several etailers, however, this collection is exclusive to Sally's Beauty Supply.

NCLA An L.A. Fairtytale

This Spring, NCLA launched a new 4 piece collection of matte glitters called An L.A. Fairytale.

LVX Winter-Resort 2015

LVX has a soft spot in my heart since the day I met them at Cosmoprof North America. On top of always being fashion forward, it's been fun to watch their brand grow!

KBShimmer Funky Cold Patina

Press Sample 
The last polish that I was given to review from the 2015 Spring collection by KBShimmer was Funky Cold Patina. This is another crelly with a turquoise base and glitter in metallic copper, blue and purple ranging from small to large sized.

I used a base coat of Duri Rejuvacote, 2 coats of polish and finished with KBShimmer Clearly On Top. I inverted my bottle 30 minutes before application to help the glitters float around. Application was easy, no pooling or dragging.

In my light box, you can see the nice mix of glitters suspended in the polish. This is a very good representation of a crelly - it's not a creme, it's not a jelly, it has glitter... It's all here! 

Same goes in the sun. Despite how it may look, I really didn't have any issues with glitter sticking up or curling. That can be an issue with curved nails and large glitter, but I didn't have any issues.

In the shade, you can really see the purple glitter popping out where the blue stays more muted.

Finally in indirect light, you can see a build up of glitter, especially in my pinkie finger but again, I didn't have any issues. Also, in my bottle, you can see a bit of white build up near the bottom. This is normal and does not affect application. 

Overall, this is probably my least favorite shade in terms of color. I've never been the largest fan of turquoise polishes to begin with - I really have to be in the mood to want to wear them. That being said, it is a unique and pretty polish and I really didn't have any issues with application so if funky is your color, the Funky Cold Patina is your polish!
