China Glaze On Safari Collection Swatches & Review Part I : Native

This Fall China Glaze is releasing a Safari inspired collection : deep, earthly and greyed out shades along with 2 glitters.

Today I have for you the first set, Native, that includes :
Man Hunt, Exotic Encounters, Elephant Walk, Jungle Queen, Purr-fect Plum and Prey Tell.




Man Hunt : vivid dark blue creme with hints of purple depending on the lighting. Perfect coverage in two easy coats.




Exotic Encounters : dusty light teal green. Great formula and two coats coverage. Probably my favorite color from the entire collection.




Elephant Walk : medium grey with fine silver shimmer and green undertones. Great opacity but formula was a bit on the thick side. Two coats here.




Jungle Queen : dusty purple with a fine bright purple shimmer. Very similar to Chanel Paradoxal. Again, perfect formula and two coats coverage.




Purr-fect : dark plum creme. Rich and beautiful but somewhat these shades fall flat on me. Great formula though, this is two coats.




Prey Tell : very dark blood red creme with maroon hints. As vampy as vampy could get. 2 coats coverage and nice formula but make sure to wait a good couple of minutes between coats to avoid patchiness.




Overall :
I'm really loving Man Hunt, Exotic Encounters, Elephant Walk and Jungle Queen even though they aren't the most unique colors. I love Fall collections!

Stay tuned for the second part of the collection : Tourist.



The China Glaze® On Safari collection is already available at fine salons and beauty supply stores nationwide. Individual polishes retail for $7 MSRP; the 6-piece sets retail for $42 MSRP.
China Glaze is free of DBP, toluene, and added formaldehyde.

  11. Another collection that I wasn't bothered about until I saw your swatches! Strangely I really like purr-fect it reminds me of Dior Orchid and I'm still after that :P

  14. I need all these polishes. And all the Tourist ones. I haven't bought many recently (ahem...) so maybe I could treat myself. Ooh! I can totally buy them for myself as a graduation present!

  17. How does Exotic Encounters compare to OPI Jade Is The New Black? Trying to decide if I need both :)

  18. I'm in love with Exotic Encounters and Purrr-fect!

  19. @Joanna King Hi Joanna! I'm afraid Jade is the new Black is much greener than Exotic Encounters. This is much more greyed out and also almost teal, it has a strong blue hue. I hope this helps! xx
