China Glaze Heli-Yum

I was pretty excited to try this color in the Up And Away 2010 Spring Collection - China Glaze Heli-Yum.  China Glaze describes this color as "raspberry", so I'm interested in swatching it next to both Raspberry Festival from the Summer Days 2009 Summer Collection, and Sneaker Head from the Kicks Collection (also released in 2009).  But first, let's look at Heli-Yum!


This is another one coater!  I used a base coat of Seche Natural, one coat of Heli-Yum, and then one coat of Seche Vite top coat.

  2. Aw, so pretty! May I ask, did China Glaze contact you or did you have to contact them to get a PR sample? By the time I get my hands on something cool from the shops, everyone else has already blogged about it! :D

  5. Asami & MissMarlboro: For this particular collection, China Glaze did contact me but this was only after several previous correspondence back and forth through Twitter. I have purchased well over 160 bottles of China Glaze to date, and have shared my obsession through both Twitter and Facebook - uploading NOTD, reviews, and then of course this blog.

    My best advice is to contact the companies personally starting through something like Twitter. There are several polish companies already tweeting (China Glaze, Zoya, Essie). The worst a company can tell you is "no" but remember that it's not personal, it's business.
