China Glaze Happy HoliGlaze collection review!



Hi girls!
So how's your weekend so far? Have you been watching the Super Bowl? I'm not that much into Football myself *hides* but if you are I hope you've had a great time!


Sooo today I have the China Glaze Happy HoliGlaze collection to share with you! I wish I'd been able to post this review earlier but I only got them very recently because of some postal "hiccups" and I figured you'd still want to see them, right?






Santa Red My List is a magenta metallic shimmer with lots of sparkle. This is 2 thin coats, no topcoat.




Be Merry, Be Bright is a mix of magenta and purple glitters in a clear base. Nice glitter pay off and easy to apply. I used 1 dabbed coat over Santa Red My List.




Put A Bow On It is a very fine pink/purple glitter. I wasn't sure if it could reach full opacity on its own but it did with 3 thin coats, which is what I used here.




So Blue Without You is a bright blue metallic shimmer. Application was just as nice and easy as the previous shimmers. This is 2 coats and no topcoat.




Bells Will Be Blinging is a fine blue glitter mixed with light gold hexes and bars with excellent glitter pay off. I used 1 coat over So Blue Without You.




All Wrapped Up is a fine blurple glitter in a clear base. Same coverage and application as Put A Bow On It, I used 3 thin coats and no topcoat.




Elfin’ Around is an orange/rusty red metallic shimmer. I wan't really sure about this one but I ended up loving it on my skin tone. 2 coats and no topcoat here.




Mingle With Kringle is a gold metallic shimmer encrusted with some some really sparkly bits. I also used 2 coats and no topcoat in the picture below.




Your Present Required is a multicolored glitter mix in a clear base : white, gold, pink, copper, blue,... I used 1 good dabbed coat over Mingle With Kringle.




This is Tree-mendous is another fine glitter in a clear base, green and gold this time, and a 3 coater just like the previous ones.




There’s Snow One Like You is a coarse white textured polish with larger white glitter pieces. I was certain application was going to be difficult from the previous reviews I've read and truth be told it is, but it wasn't that horrid. Application tips : use thin coats and don't hesitate to slightly "press it down" a couple of minutes after the second coat for a flatter look. This is 2 coats and no topcoat.




And finally Just Be-Claws is a super sparkly metallic shimmer red. It's my absolute favorite, it offers lots of control and is almost a one coater! I used 2 thin coats and no topcoat here for macro purposes.



And one last pic Just Be-Claws with matte topcoat, or how I've been wearing it last week. Look at that depth! 1 coat, no cleanup!




So what do you think? Have you grabbed any of these? Which one's your favorite?
