Press Release: China Glaze Fight Like A Woman Limited Edition Breast Cancer Awareness Collection
Press Release: China Glaze Awakening Limited Edition Halloween Collection
When you really think about it, Halloween isn’t that far away at all and that’s why China Glaze is coming out with a limited edition collection. This collection will consist of 3 ghoulish shades of nail polish with their signature 3 free formula. It will be available at retailers and Sally Beauty Supply stores. The three nail polishes will come with a free Fast Forward Top Coat. I don’t know about you, but I’m getting super excited about them and I’ll try reviewing them if I can get my hands on them. This entire collection looks really unique because I don’t think China Glaze has ever come out with such colors before. The collection of these three polishes is called Awakening. I don’t think it can get any mysterious than that! I suggest you all call you Sally Beauty Supply stores to ask when they will have it because these will be in limited quantities. Here are shade descriptions and pictures are above to go along with them:
Zombie Zest: A mossy green shade with gold flecks of micro glitter.
Ick-A-Body: A dark green base chock full of orange glitter.
Mummy May I: Vampy, wine colored purple with flecks of hot pink glitter.
Availability: (Will Keep You Updated)
Enjoy!

new China Glaze Vintage Vixen Collection for Fall 2010 Part 3: Review
Hey women! Today I will be reviewing the China Glaze Vintage Vixen collection for fall 2010. I’m not doing my formatted reviews since it’s an entire collection, not just a single polish. Overall, the formula is just like normal China Glaze polishes. It’s not too thick and goopy or too thin and runny. There were a couple of polishes that I found a bit goopy, but not thick in consistency. They are the following: Riveter Rouge, Foxy, and Goin’ My Way. It didn’t bother me that much, but super picky people would mind (and I mean REALLY PICKY PEOPLE). There are no crème shades in this collection which is a good change for the fall since all throughout spring and summer we are used to wearing super crème finished polishes. I hope you enjoy the product pics:http://onegirlspassionformakeup.blogspot.com/2010/06/new-china-glaze-vintage-vixen_21.html and
swatches:http://onegirlspassionformakeup.blogspot.com/2010/06/new-china-glaze-vintage-vixen.html. They are all really dark colors which is a plus for the cold fall months. Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoyed!

Review: China Glaze Poolside Collection for Summer 2010
Hey girls! Today, I’m reviewing the China Glaze Poolside collection which is releasing on April 1st. It will be available from various professional salons, ULTA, and many other e-tailers. I was most excited to review these polishes because they are neon. I love the matteness of them and I don’t get to wear such bright colors. If you think that my description is tempting, don’t forget to check out pictures and swatches. Keep reading to see my review!
Pro(s):
-Very bright and pigmented.
-Wearable.
-Fast drying.
-Thin formula.
-Non streaky!
Con(s):
-No cons!
Overall review: I love these polishes to death. They are everything a girl wants; pigmentation, wearable, dries quickly, and the matteness of them. They’re by far the best neon nail polishes I’ve ever tried. I was originally expecting them to be streaky, but they’re not. It just takes more than 3 coats for the bright yellow color, but since it dries very fast it doesn’t take that long. I love these and they’re the best neon polishes I’ve ever tried. Now, I’m getting a bit redundant so let me get to the point. At just $6.50 a bottle, it’s a hard deal to pass. I just love them to death. My two most favorite wearable colors are Flip Flop Fantasy and Towel Boy Toy. Again though, I still suggest getting everything. Enjoy!

Review: China Glaze Nail Polishes
Hi girls, today I’m reviewing China Glaze nail polishes. It’s not my first time trying them, but a PR representative sent them over so I said, sure why not. The ones I’m reviewing today are called Ginger which is the coppery color with holographic glitter in it. It’s really big which I like. I got my grandma t nail model for me and she wasn’t that bad either. The next color is called Tree Hugger and it’s a medium green with light shimmers where it almost seems like a cream formula, but it’s not. There, I made my friend model for me. Her nails are just 20x better than mine, but it’s okay. These polishes retail for $2-$8 a bottle from many online retails, professional salons, and some other beauty supply stores.
Pros:
-It only takes 2 thin coats to get a nice and opaque color.
-The holographic glitter in Ginger is really awesome, but it’s not too chunky to the point where it’s hard to apply the polish.
-It applies smoothly regardless of whether the nails are sooth or not (like my grandma’s).
-The polish dries very fast compared to other brands.
-The polishes don’t need a top coat after being painted and don’t chip even if you do the dishes or knead dough or anything.
-The polishes give a pro finish without spending $10 at the salon.
Con(s):
-No cons!
Overall review: I rarely say that there are no cons to products but this product amazed me. I’ve always like China glaze because of the formula and now I can proudly say I’m a nail polish addict. More swatches of various nail polish brands will come soon since I fell in love with nail polishes once more. Well, I hope you enjoyed and keep requesting. Also, I apologize that I forget the names of many of my followers, but its okay because you guys never get angry. Thanks for all the support!
Would I purchase it again? : Yes definitely, but in other shades!
Rating: 10/10
Packaging: 10/10
Is it VICKY approved? : Definitely; get a pro manicure right at home!
