China Glaze Fairy Dust

Nothing To Disclose
As you can see, China Glaze changed everything about their bottles. The logo is now a 3D design in the glass, featuring a tapered lid with the finish printed on the neck. The brush has also changed to the flat paddle brush for good. I haven't been to Ulta to see their exclusives but I was at Sally's recently and grabbed this bottle of Fairy Dust, their OG rainbow microglitter. (Note: My bottle says "glossy" but online, I've seen that the bottles of Fairy Dust say "sheer".)

So I thought I was grabbing the second half of the Zoya Fall 2024 collection called "Luxe Noir" but I actually grabbed the Spring 2025 Naturel Sparkles collection. Today I have Nadine, a tempting deep berry pink infused with specks of pink and golden glitter. This reminds me so much of the glass fleck collections that Zoya was known for.

Chill Zone Coconut Cream Tart

One really good thing about cleaning out my Helmers was that I found polishes I had completely forgotten about. For the next few days, I have one such brand. This is Chill Zone - a brand created by 2 brothers, Mike and Victor Homma. One is a chemical engineer and the other is a nail technician. They originally started with their Premium Top Coat but they also came out with a bunch of colors. Today I have Coconut Cream Tart, a white cream.
