Somehow, a beauty supply store here already put out the display and gift sets for the China Glaze Let It Snow Collection.
At first I was going to get one of the gift sets (with fingerless gloves!) but then I realized that I needed the glitters and not another blue or silver polish.
Last year, I sadly missed Party Hearty, the Christmas glitter. I was not about to do that again. So I got two of the glitters!
China Glaze Twinkle Lights, China Glaze Snow Globe |
China Glaze Twinkle Lights |
This glitter is comparable to the OPI Alice In Wonderland or Burlesque glitters. It's also the same consistency as China Glaze CG In The City.
Gold, green, and red glitter. Super Christmas-y. Very lovely!
The above picture is just 2 coats. It builds nicely and remains thin enough to wear even after 4 coats.
From a distance it has a bit of a greenish-gold overall look.
For those of you who prefer to layer your glitters, I've swatched Twinkle Lights over black and red on a wheel!
Look how gorgeous it is over black!
It's not as nice over red but still good.
I'm so happy I got this one! Now I won't regret not getting it in a few months like I did with Party Hearty.
Now for Snow Globe! This glitter is not something you could wear alone so I've swatched it over white to show the pretty iridescent colors and for the best snowy look!
China Glaze Snow Globe |
The formula on this one is a bit thick.
I love all the pretty iridescent colors! There are small and large pieces in this glitter and it really looks snowy and pretty!
And here it is at 2 coats! This was a bit too thick for my liking, but the result is so pretty!
If you look closely you'll notice that there is some sort of shimmery clear glitter as well as the iridescent glitter. It's just so pretty. Good times.
That's how it looks on a natural nail. Not very pretty.
I've also swatched this over some other colors on a wheel!
Over other colors, the sheer iridescent glitter looks totally different and you always get a different look. And then over black it is just amazing!
Two awesome additions to my glitter stash. I totally recommend getting these!
These should be popping up in stores everywhere soon.
If you want to see the rest of the collection (yes, all 12 colors!) check out Kayla Shevonne's swatches here!
I think I'm on a roll! 2 awesome sets of swatches in 2 days. And I have 3 Color Club collections swatched and ready to show you too! Keep your eyes peeled for those :)
The moment I laid my eyes on Twinkle Lights in the promo photos,

ReplyDeleteI love China Glaze Snow Globe! So glad I got this one!
ReplyDeleteI like Twinkle Lights better than Party Harty. PH is really limited to JUST the few days or the week of Xmas or you look like a goof ball. But I could see wearing TL a little longer through the season and putting it over other shades - it's more subtle than Party Harty. I just ordered a Snow Globe and thought odd - I knew it was on a lot of folks wish list - thought I just got lucky - now I know, someone picked it up early as you did! Had no idea these were out and about. But then I don't get out an about that much.
ReplyDeleteI really like them both, especially Snow Globe over black.
ReplyDeleteI love these!! thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteTwinkle Lights is SO MUCH MORE gorgeous than I thought it would be! Thanks so much for the swatch, I was waiting for one!
ReplyDeleteHi, I just wanted to tell you that Party Hearty is still available online if anyone is looking for it. I always buy from the online store victoriasnailsupply dot com and it is currently in stock and for sale for only $2.95, as well as many other polishes that are hard to find. Just thought I would pass this along to anyone who might want those limited items without paying the hefty prices on ebay!! Great blog!
