Hello from Vegas! It has been a great first day here at Cosmoprof North America Las Vegas and while I have tons to show you, first I'm going to start with the brand that started ME off - China Glaze!
China Glaze had their display of On Safari, the fall 2012 collection up first. However, I will be posting the official press release and my own swatches of that in the coming weeks.
Next was the Bohemian Collection, which you may have see the press release on other blogs. These will be launching in August 2012 and yes, you do see a dupe to Chanel Peridot! This was really a metallic duochrome collection, which I can see being something I'd love to wear during the fall and into the winter months.
China Glaze has also decided to bring out another round magnetic polish called Magnetix II launching in September 2012. Along with the new colors is a new magnet that can great a bullseye, 3 parallel lines or a "Bingo grid" as I'm calling it.
For the Halloween season, we have Wicked, a 6 piece launching in October. Also for you fans of glow-in-the-dark, Gholish Glow will be sold in the 4 pack only. The green glitter is a bit like last year's but less dark. The grey has beautiful blue microglitter. The blue has this awesome vampy purple tone to it. The glitter is fantastic! Orange with micro-rainbow-glitter. The red is a bit orange based. The final glitter is a lot like the Capitol Colours Luxe and Lush except instead of flakies/shards of glitter, it's all glitter.
The Holiday Joy collection is a 12 piece launching in November/December which includes 13 new gift sets. Five of the polishes will be going into the core line but I can't tell you which ones. I was asked not to photograph those yet, so they are not available for PolishGalore at this time.
2013
Coming out in Spring 2013 is Avant Garden, a pretty 12 piece collection that is both sweet and slightly pastel.
Also launching as a Sally Beauty Supply Exclusive are real nail polish strips. Just like others that are out on the market, they are easy to apply and remove with normal nail polish remover. I did get a couple of sets to take home so I can try them out myself.
And now, what you have ALL been waiting for. So, back in the day was China Glaze OMG (Holographic) collection. It consisted of strong linear holographics with great wear time. Then the actual holographic particles was removed from the US market and polish lovers cried. China Glaze attempted with Tronica to bring back this beloved product, but it just wasn't quite there. Well, China Glaze loves you as much as you love China Glaze, and they were able to get their hands on actual holographic material for nail polish. This stuff is not cheap. There will be a price increase on this collection. Launching in Summer 2013 - it's Hologlam!!!!
Yes, 12 colors. The formula, from what I'm told, is even better than the original. Drool away.
There were four other collections that China Glaze is coming out with that unfortunately, I'm not able to photograph or talk about but I think I can say that China Glaze has definitely been listening to their fans. They are really stepping up the level of creativity in their line, and I, as always, am SUPER happy about it.
Please do not take my pictures without expressed permission. Sharing is caring - stealing is not.
I love the Avant Garden colors...
ReplyDeleteSuper excited about holos but a little sad that they will be called the Hologlam collection because that's what my husband named the holographic polish that I frankened... Oh well, I "used it first" so I don't have to rename it, right? =P
What's in a name? That which we call a rose. By any other name would smell as sweet. <3
DeleteAs far as collection names, it depends on whether or not you acquired a legal trademark. I'm sure China Glaze did.
DeleteThanks so much for this awesome post! I will have to say that I'm most excited to see Hologlam come out but I'm intrigued about the upcoming Holiday collection too!
ReplyDeleteI'll see if I can get a picture of the polishes tomorrow. Something tells me that I just forgot to take that picture? Not 100% sure now, hah!
Deleteoooh! that would be lovely! glad i subscribed to your rss feed! i love getting a glimpse of all the action at cosmoprof!
DeleteI wasn't able to get more pictures but will post them when the official press release goes out
Deleteomg. i think i just pooped a rainbow!!!!!
ReplyDeleteAre you a unicorn?!
Deletei think i am after seeing all these holos!!
Deleteomg im so excited for hologlam and the wicked collex and the new magnetix II...actually all of them..and the ones you can talk about have me even more intrigued!
ReplyDeleteYay! It was such a thrill to see them in person. I was literally speechless - and that doesn't happen often.
DeleteI want them all. ALL. haha! I love China Glaze so hard. And I'm jealous- I would love to go to a CosmoProf event!

Wow, so excited about ALL of these collections, I live in Las Vegas, I would have loved to go the event! Could I please share your pictures and information on my blog?
ReplyDeleteYes :)
DeleteThank you very much :)
DeleteOH MY! Love them all =) Thanks for covering CosmoProf for those of us not lucky enough to be there! Can't wait to hear about everything else!!! =)
ReplyDeleteOf course! <3
Deletegood gracious i am so excited!! i will be getting every single one of the Hologlams, and i don't care what they cost!
ReplyDeleteIt won't absolutely kill your wallet, but I know people will be wincing a bit at the price.
Deletethey'll wince, but they'll buy them anyway, lol.
DeleteYES HOLO!!!! I can't wait! I hope they make enough for everyone cause I KNOW I am getting that whole set!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely get them when they come out. Some Sally's Beauty Supplies will even let you know what day they are putting them out so you can be the first one in the store to get your copy!
DeleteAhh. I can't believe I thought any other nail polish brand was superior to China Glaze; they clearly are setting the standard nowadays. I am most excited for the Bohemian collection! Such amazing colors! I'm so glad they came out with some different color for the magnet collections; the current magnet polishes on the market, in all brands, have been extremely underwhelming for me color wise so it's nice to see something different. Also really excited for the Holiday Joy collection, anything Christmas-y has got to be amazing.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing, definitely made my night!
There are a lot of nail polish brands out there but I keep going back to the one that started it all for me - China Glaze!
DeleteThe new Magnetix 2 has such beautiful colors that you can wear them alone and they are still amazing!
I'll see if I can get a picture of Holiday Joy before I leave.
This has been one of the more exciting polish news this year so far! 12!! I'm going to faint! Time to save up!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing this great piece of news ^_^
Avant Garden looks great, but I NEED HOLOGLAM NOW!
ReplyDeleteRIGHT?! A whole year away...
Deletethis is why I love China Glaze so much more than OPI always something so exciting coming from them! I love that I can get CGs for like 4.50 a bottle too! :)
ReplyDeleteVery true!
DeleteThanks for this post, China Glaze probably just made my year, omg.
ReplyDeleteAww yay!
DeleteI'm glad China Glaze doesn't think the world ends in December, these are going to be insane!
ReplyDeleteSomething about exploding into awesomeness?
DeleteI'm literally bouncing in my seat over the Hologlam collection!! I think I need just about every one of them.
ReplyDeleteYAY for bouncing! <3
DeleteOh my goodness, these are all incredible! Thanks a lot, China Glaze! You're gonna make me go BROKE!
ReplyDeleteHaha!
DeleteOmg so sorry I had already downloaded a pic to keep so I can remember about the Hologlam but I deleted it when I seen ur last sentence! Lol
ReplyDeleteIf you're keeping for your own use, that's okay. I just ask that people don't pass it off as their (removing my logo) or just posting the content as their own. Keep the picture on your computer and look at it often!
DeleteAhhh ok there's a lot of stealing going on especially with big companies smh. I can't wait for Hologlam!
DeleteYep! There were a lot of "do not photograph" items because they didn't want them leaked and other companies getting their hands on the idea faster/throwing it out there.
DeleteThose holos are a-maz-ing.
ReplyDeleteLike the spring pastels as well.
Magnetic, well, not all of them are going to be winners. I think that ship has sailed.
I'm going to be posting a new twist of magnetics tomorrow - maybe that will change your mind a bit?
DeleteI'm excited about the Bohemian colors...I love nail polish that looks like a beetles shell. Also the magnetix in new colors is great since I thought the other colors were a little dull?
ReplyDeleteI missed out on the OMG collection holo's so I'm glad I get a chance at some again! :) And Halloween is my favorite holiday so I want to see those in real life too.
YES. I'm all about duochrome, multichrome polishes. Also loving the vibrancy of Magnetix. Yay for the others as well!!!
DeleteWow!! Lots of really pretty polsihes!!! :-)
ReplyDeleteVery much so.
DeleteOMG HOLOOOOOOOS. <3 I'm from Australia so there's no way I'll be able to get my hands on them when they come out (in stores - CG isn't sold retail here) but I'd gladly pay an arm & a leg online for those. ;) haha!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for your post, this made me so excited for the upcoming collections!
Aww - yeah Australia has a hard time, I've heard. I know there were some Australian vendors here (I heard their accents) so I'll see if I can find any information on it! And thank you for reading!
DeleteBetween Bohemian and Wicked I'll probably only get a few shades but I can't wait to get my hands on all of the Hologlam collex. You can't ever have too many holos.
ReplyDeleteAgreed!
DeleteOkay, my wishlist as follows:
ReplyDelete-A few of the Bohemian colors, including that one the shifts purple to goldish-green (though I have OPI Just Spotted the Lizard, so I'm okay not having the Chanel dupe)
-The Wicked gift pack because I need me some Ghoulish Glow, and those just happen to be the three colors I want! (Thank God I work across from a Sally Beauty around Halloween time!)
-Maybe a couple of the new Magnetix colors, though I'm honestly okay with using my old magnet.
-EVERY HOLOGLAM COLOR!
Haha yay!!!
DeleteI don't particularly like China Glaze because they have formaldehyde :( but they make it soooooo hard to stay away!
ReplyDeleteNo no no! China Glaze is big-3 free. Unless you're talking about Formaldehyde Resin, which I do believe China Glaze does still have.
DeleteNo, Formaldehyde Resin is not at all the same as Formaldehyde. I've read it on loodieloodieloodie's blog. She's a chemist and explained and I did my own research too. Hurray for China Glaze!
DeleteThanks for sharing this with us! I feel like I should just give all my money to China Glaze now!
ReplyDeleteI felt like saying "Just take my credit card now"
DeleteSUPER exited for all of these, especially the halloween and holo collections! Better start saving my pennies now! :D x
ReplyDeleteYes, yes you should!
DeleteI'm buying all the holo's...nuff said! :)
ReplyDeleteMe too!
DeleteWow, all of these collections look amazing! I'm definitely going to go broke getting my hands on a ton of these! :D
ReplyDeleteHaha aww. <3
DeleteI can't wait for the Hologlam collection and the Bohemian collection. So happppppy that China Glaze made some real holos like the OMG collection :)
ReplyDeleteIt's very awesome to see!
DeleteThanks so much for posting this, I'm so excited for Avant Garde, Hologlam and the mysterious holiday collection! Would they at least let you tell us what colors were in the collection?
ReplyDeleteI ordered the second round of the magnetics last night. So excited! Hubby may be ashamed of me, but it's been awhile since I've ordered a collection!
Yay! Unfortunately I cannot even begin to tell you what colors were in the other collections because it's that highly guarded. Can't jeopardize my relationship with them!
DeleteI'm in love with the holos. I should start saving now because I need them ALL! Thanks for the information!
ReplyDeleteThank you for reading!
DeleteI love China Glaze so hard. I am CRYING over the holo collection. So jealous of everyone at Cosmoprof but you are awesome for sharing all of this with us!
ReplyDeleteChina Glaze has definitely been my first love.
Deletewoa amazing! wanna have them all! :) can't wait to see real swatches of New Bohemian!
ReplyDeleteI will try to get them posted as soon as possible. :]
DeleteI'll just go ahead and set a calendar reminder for Summer 2013 now because I am NOT missing another CG holographic collection.
ReplyDeleteThere will be more holographics from 2 other companies coming as well. ;]
DeleteQuestion!
ReplyDelete1) How much will the Holos cost?
And China glaze NEEDS to make a Collection for 'Catching Fire'!! Capitol Colors part 1!!
Hi Mimi! The final price has not been finalized - I was just informed that it would be more expensive than the normal core line.
DeleteWhile they did not discuss anything about Catching Fire, I agree with you!
They ALL look amazing, and the collections that you can't talk about must be EVEN BETTER if the ones you CAN talk about are anything to go by!
ReplyDeleteI better get saving!!! I want them ALL!
:] Thank you for reading!
DeleteAlways so exciting to see the previews of collections to come from this convention. I can see folks are going to need track shoes and inside connections to get hold of Hologram bottles next year. I knew it was expensive to get the chemical material to produce good holo, but did not know there was a time when it was withdrawn off the US market. Hope you did not roast while in LV! I so don't do heat!
ReplyDeleteThankfully the heat wasn't bad for me since I live in Texas. Having a dry heat was amazing because I'm used to a humid climate which I HATE.
DeleteHaha, track shoes and inside connections! :] Love it!
Ahhh! I missed out on the last holo collection by China Glaze because I wasn't quite as obsessed with nail polish as I am now.. I do not want to miss out on it. 'So Fly By' 'Retro Hot' and 'Cosmic Dust' are the three standouts on first glance. Do you know how much of a price increase there will be? I doubt I'll be able to afford all of them, so I was just wondering! Thanks for posting all these pictures! :)
ReplyDeleteThe price increase hasn't been finalized just yet.
DeleteOMG! I CAN'T EVEN TELL YOU HOW HARD I FLIPPED OUT WHEN I SAW THOSE HOLO POLISHES BY CHINA GLAZE!! I actually squealed! lol I never got a chance to get the holo collection cause I was still a kid in school and didn't know to much about the polish community or collections back then. I'm 20 now and did manage to buy a few from the old collection on ebay but now..I actually get to buy the new full set! Your'er so freaking lucky to have those collections out already! ugh now I have something to looking forward in 2013..ugh hurry up 2012! lol I feel like people need to know this, we've been wanting more holo from china glaze ever OMG and will people find out they will freak. I'm loving the avant collection, bohemian still has my heart but they can keep wicked. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI was literally speechless - that's why they let me take a picture... I literally couldn't talk for a moment and then I squealed.
DeleteI don't have any samples (press or otherwise) of the Hologlam collection... I just got to look at them. I didn't even get to hold it! (Probably because they know I'd be willing to shove it down my shirt and run away screaming...)
You're welcome!
New holographics are amazing!! 2013...It means I have around 9 months to save up for them!
ReplyDeleteIt's like waiting for a baby!
DeleteI'm so excited about the China Glaze. Those are just beautiful. I know I'll want OPI Bohemian too.
ReplyDeleteI just got Bohemian - the duochrome isn't as strong as I had hoped but they are still lovely
DeleteGirl, I can't remember which ones we are not supposed to talk about. Can you list them? ;P
ReplyDeleteThey better make a crap load of those holos!!! Probably will be their best collection ever!!!
Hah no!
DeleteAnd I hope so too - people are too excited for holos, self included
Hi! I loved your article and I just want to ask if it's OK to borrow your photos for an article (I will link back and mention your blog as a source of course). Thank you!
ReplyDeleteYes - thank you!
DeleteTHANK YOU FOR POSTING!!!!
ReplyDeleteI will be looking solo forward to hologlam in 2013!!! (Hope the price incl postage to EU will be =or less than $13 (so I can have it shipped to Denmark without having to pay an extra $27 for nothing else but a customs fee X-P
Good luck!
DeleteOh my goodness! Pastel Petals! I. Cannot. Wait. :D
ReplyDeleteI am so HAPPY I love Holographic nail polish and china glaze and I was upset I missed the last Holographic collection the OMG one but now I get to get this one I even can get the whole set. I have the patience to wait till this comes out because one bottle from the OMG collection costs $40-$50 I am not spending that type of money on one bottle. However I would spend that money on two or three. THANK YOU for informing us on the release of this new collection. I might just keep it a secret till I get my own so I get the first stab at them. I am probably gonna get the whole set since I LOVE THEM ALL!
ReplyDeleteI love me some holos
DeleteI saw swatches on instagram of the new holos. They don't seem very nice. Hope they are better in person.
ReplyDeleteInteresting!
