China Glaze Electric Lilac

Nothing To Disclose

I was trying to clean out another Helmer and somehow grabbed a bunch of China Glaze polishes - some I had already featured here on my blog. However, I hadn't worn Electric Lilac yet. This is a light purple jelly base with mylar flakies throughout it. This was part of the Specialty Colors collection that came out in 2009.

China Glaze Millennium


Back in 2009, when I started my blog, I purchased the entire fall/winter collection from China Glaze called Khrome. Today I'm sharing Millennium, a steely silver. This applies like liquid metal seriously.

China Glaze Seas and Greetings

 Press Sample

Somehow I pulled another China Glaze purple today. This is Seas and Greetings from the Christmas 2016 collection by the same name. This is a shimmering deep purple with a pink shimmer.

China Glaze You're A Mean One

Nothing To Disclose

Who doesn't love a good deep wine purple shimmer polish? Today I have China Glaze You're a Mean One from the Christmas 2018 "The Grinch" collection. This was a collaboration with the movie that came out that year. This is a gorgeous deep purple with wine/magenta shimmer.

China Glaze Gothic Lolita

Press Sample

My nails haven't been this long in a very long time (lol). I know I'm going to have to shorten them soon since it's getting harder to type and I do use a computer every day between work and home. Today I've pulled China Glaze Gothic Lolita from the Spring 2012 ElectroPop collection. I have to say, 2012 was a great year for me and I remember this collection pretty fondly. This was in the "Lights" 6-piece of the collection and it's a purple polish with a tiny hint of a shimmer flash but you barely see it.

China Glaze December to Remember

Press Sample

So here's an oldie! From the China Glaze 2014 "Twinkle" holiday collection, I have December to Remember, a dark blue polish with pink/purple iridescent shimmer. This was part of a 12 piece collection that also had 5 gift sets and 5 nail art kits. No shot glass in this collection but I do have a couple of them from other years.

China Glaze Good Tide-ings

Press Sample

It's been satisfying going through my drawers and KonMari-ing my way but also the memories of each new collection that I pull. Today from the 2016 Seas and Greetings collection, I have Good Tide-ings, a lilac-blue creme. This was actually their holiday collection - which was definitely a huge departure from the normal reds and greens of the holidays.

China Glaze I'm Not Lion

Press Sample

This polish is an oldie but a goodie! From the 2012 China Glaze On Safari collection, this is I'm Not Lion, a gold glitter in a clear base with holo microglitters. I cannot believe I haven't worn this year. This is such a gorgeous polish. 

China Glaze Custom Kicks


It's time for another 2009 polish from China Glaze. This is Custom Kicks from the Kicks Collection. This was a 12-piece neon collection that paid homage to Sneakerheads everywhere. Custom Kicks was listed as a dusty teal but it really was a beautiful teal with the tiniest of gold shimmer.

China Glaze Stellar


I have another 2009 polish here today from China Glaze. This is Stellar from the Specialty Collection. This is a sandy brown glitter in a light brown base. I was obsessed with this collection - a 50 piece collection of glitters, shimmers, and just beautiful colors. This is the collection that Rose Tea comes from.

China Glaze Short & Sassy


Here's another vampy red shimmer from China Glaze! Today I have Short & Sassy, from the 2009 Retro Diva collection. This is such a pretty color and looks amazing for being 17 years old.

China Glaze Cranberry Splash

Press Sample

I was so proud that I had cleared all the nail polishes off my desk and then bam, I have 30 more sitting here but that's a whole month of content so, yay me? Today I have China Glaze Cranberry Splash, a ruby red shimmer. This came from the 2012 Holiday Joy collection which also had some beautiful glitters in it.

China Glaze Under the Boardwalk

Press Sample

YAY it's neon time! Today I pulled China Glaze Under the Boardwalk from the 2012 Summer Neon collection. When I was looking it up, it said that it was a bright plum jelly so uh... what happened. Did mine fade? No, come to find out, there were two versions of this polish. There was the light purple and then there was a raspberry pink which is the one I received. Fun fact, this polish was repromoted in 2015 in the Make It Rain-Bow brights trio.

China Glaze Water You Waiting For?

Press Sample

China Glaze was really THE company back in the early 2010s and had all the movie brand deals. Today, I have Water You Waiting For? which was part of the Cirque du Soleil "Words Away" movie. This is a turquoise glitter in a darken jelly base.

China Glaze Shut The Front Door!

Press Sample

I have the most random China Glaze polishes. Today I'm sharing Shut The Front Door! from the 2016 House of Colour collection. This is a purple pearl that is almost orchid like. This collection was supposed to be inspired by the eclectic tones of the 1970s.

China Glaze C-C-Courage


Another dark China Glaze polish today! This is China Glaze C-C-Courage, a dusty dark purple with silver glitter. This 2009 polish was a re-release of the 2001 version in the Wizard of Ooh Ahz collection but it wasn't a perfect match. I feel that this one is a bit more gritty and I was told the original had a pink frost to it.

China Glaze Smoke and Ashes


What's with these bottles being impossible to see. This is China Glaze Smoke and Ashes from the Capitol Collection... this was supposed to be District 12 - Coal. This is a super dark base (pretty much black) with green/blue shimmer.

China Glaze Hyper Haute


I will never forget in 2011 when China Glaze said they were releasing their Tronica Collection which was supposed to be the remix of the OMG linear holographic polishes. I couldn't wait to buy every single one of them because I LOVED the OMG collection with all my little heart. Today I'm bringing you Hyper Haute, a raspberry "holo" polish.

China Glaze Teen Spirit


So, this bottle was impossible to photograph. From the China Glaze 2016 Rebel Collection, this is Teen Spirit, a super deep black-blue with metallic blue shimmer. This whole collection was such a vibe. Lots of darken polishes and then some random cremes.

China Glaze What I Like About Blue


I'm not sure how I grabbed so many blues in my China Glaze stash this week but today I have What I Like About Blue, a turquoise neon with pale golden shimmer. This was from the Summer 2016 Lite Brights collection. This was a giant 12 piece collection that had a bunch of really nice polishes in it.
