Remember when I polled you guys the day before yesterday on which collection you wanted me to post first?
This one won by a landslide.
Blonde Bombshell, Material Girl, Lorelei's Tiara, Marry a Millionaire |
This is the China Glaze Eye Candy Collection (well, 4/6.)
I got my hands on this collection really early. I'm not sure when it is supposed to hit stores but I have heard that it won't be out until December.
For some reason, one of the supply stores here seems to be getting collections in early, and Kayla picked these up for me!
You can't ever have enough glitter, am I right?
(I left behind a red glitter - I do have enough of those. And a gray that I have a dupe for.)
First I decided to swatch these over black on a wheel to see what one coat would be like.
Blonde Bombshell, Material Girl, Marry a Millionaire, Lorelei's Tiara (click to enlarge) |
Now lets get to the swatches!
Blonde Bombshell. This is a mix of gold glitter, a whole bunch of different sizes. There is some very fine bar glitter in there as well
This is three coats but you could get anyway with two. It's sort of a greenish-gold, very pretty. I especially love it over black! I think I'll be wearing that as a full mani soon.
Material Girl. This is my least favorite out of the four I got.
There is a bunch of multiple sizes of pink glitter and some large holographic glitter that doesn't show up very well. 3 coats.
The formula was just... lumpy. I found it really difficult to work with. Not to mention, it is like a less pretty, lumpy version of OPI Teenage Dream.
I bet some thinner could help but I am just not loving it like I love TD.
Also... my bottle appears to be under-filled. I only did one swatch and it is missing that much! (Whereas the OPI has been used several times.)
I think I'm going to be passing this Material Girl on to someone who will love her more than me.
Lorelei's Tiara. This one is just beautiful! Multiple sizes of silver glitter with some blue glitter sprinkled in.
Can't you picture this as a winter mani? With some black stamped snowflakes? Love it!
This is 3 coats.
I've saved my favorite for last.
Marry A Millionaire. I was most exited for this one and it did not let me down!
This is small purple and pink glitter with lots of bar glitter mixed in. It comes off mostly purple. As you can see it is a bit less dense than the others but this is still 3 coats.
I almost feel like the bar glitter is sort of duochromatic... Look:
Straight ahead... gold bars as well as greenish and blue.
Downward angle... No gold? Lots of turquoise and blue? The pink stands out more from certain angles too.
I noticed this on my nails (I've worn this as a manicure layered over dark purple) and then I confirmed it in the bottle. It's pretty awesome.
Fave for sure!
I'm loving these! Are you loving these?
What's your favorite?
