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.

ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing these gorgeous swatches, I need to buy more of them now than I did first LOL
ReplyDeleteOh my I love all the colors! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteAnother 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
ReplyDeleteI like Man Hunt and Exotic Encounters best but overall this collection did not overly impress me. Gorgeous swatches as always, love your nails!
ReplyDeleteThe swatches look so pretty :) I have the glitter ones from the safari collection
ReplyDeleteI 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!
ReplyDeleteLove that blue! So tempting... great swatches, thanks!
ReplyDeleteThis half of the collection is definitely my favourite.
ReplyDeleteHow does Exotic Encounters compare to OPI Jade Is The New Black? Trying to decide if I need both :)
ReplyDeleteI'm in love with Exotic Encounters and Purrr-fect!
ReplyDelete@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
