Hi lovelies,
It has been crazy busy my side so I do apologise for the lack of posts. I realised the other day that I haven’t really shown you much of my China Glaze polishes so I thought I would share some of them with you today.
China Glaze – Bump in the Night
Bump in the night is a black texture from the Monsters Ball halloween 2013 collection. This is 2 coats with no topcoat. I have been lusting after this one for ages and I am so glad I finally got it. It’s stunning and the possibilities are endless.
China Glaze – Electra Magenta
Electra Magenta is from the Tronica collection. It’s a purple/pink magenta colour with a scattered holo. Absolutely gorgeous. This is 2 coats with no topcoat. The holo didn’t pick up as beautifully in the light box so it is a little more obvious than it appears here.
China Glaze – Techno Teal
Techno Teal is the teal version of Electra Magenta. Also from the Tronica collection. I absolutely adore the colour and the holo is just a huge bonus. Again, the holo didn’t show up too much on these photos but it’s stunning! This is 2 coats with no topcoat.
China Glaze – Jungle Queen
Jungle queen is a dusty purple/grey with a subtle purple shimmer. Absolutely stunning. This is 2 coats with no topcoat and from the On Safari collection. I loved this one much much more than I thought I would.
China Glaze – Purr-fect Plum
Purr-fect Plum is also from the On Safari collection. It’s a deep plum creme. This is 2 coats with no topcoat. I think this is the perfect autumn/winter colour but I also know I could easily wear this all year round.
China Glaze – Some like it Haute
Some like it Haute is from the Eye Candy collection. It’s a grey / black base with tons of glitter. Small black and silver glitter with a larger holo glitter. It looks amazing! It’s super shiny and blingy. This is 3 coats with no topcoat.
China Glaze – Material Girl
Material Girl is a little more pink than it appears on the photos. Also from the Eye Candy collection. This is a dense pink glitter bomb. Absolutely gorgeous and it doesn’t need undies at all. This is 2 coats with no topcoat. I am not sure if a third coat would have made the colour appear a little more pink but in real life it almost has a rose gold tinge to it. Which is why I suspect the camera struggled a little with it.
China Glaze – L8R G8R
L8R G8R is from the OMG collection. It’s a green – almost lime green – holo. It’s a stunning polish that looks gorgeous for summer. The holo looks really subtle in these photos in the light box but it is definitely still noticeable. This is 2 coats with no topcoat. I can say that topcoat did not affect the holo at all. Here is a photo of it in the sun.
China Glaze – Stone Cold
Stone Cold is from the Capitol Colors (Hunger Games) collection. It’s a grey matte with a stack of silver shimmer. This might be my favourite polish of all time. Application is amazing and it is smooth and easy to work with. Love love love. This is 2 coats with no topcoat. With topcoat the base appears darker so it will look more charcoal / black with shimmer.
What do you think of these? Any of them making it onto your wish list? Let me know what you think and which you love.
Thanks for reading!
Wow! Those glitters are perfect! I am absolutely in love with it!!! Material Girl? Yes, please!!
Material Girl is now one of my absolute favourites. It is just perfect. I love that it doesn’t need undies or to be layered. Thanks Imka! xx
What can I say except… WOW! I love how Electra Magenta and Techno Teal have this built in ombre effect which appears when light hits nails. Great post and watches, too!
Thank you so much. I absolutely agree with you. I also have High Definition from the same collection and it is just as gorgeous!
Ooooh, I’m absolutely loving the textured and glitter ranges from China Glaze. I just wish they were more widely distributed in Joburg, I can’t find them anywhere.
I agree, I wish they were more accessible. I would love to just be able to walk into a store and see them for myself and choose that way. I guess I should just be grateful I can order them at all. 🙂
Electra Magenta and Techno Teal look amazing – wow!
And a holo!? I love holographic polishes, they’re so special!
I am so in love with holo polishes at the moment. I just want them all. It’s why I am so happy an SA brand like Ice Box has some holo shades as well.
Love em all but the texture one….ooooh!!!!!!I WANT it!
hahahaha I have been after that black texture since I saw it the first time. SO happy to have it.
Ahh you’ve shown some of my favourites! I haven’t been able to find Some like it Haute, but I neeeed it! Haha
I was surprised by how much I actually loved Some like it Haute. It is so gorgeous. You definitely need it! 😉 thanks
Oh my goodness! Some Like it Haute and Stone Cold are just gorgeous!!
Stone Cold is just amazing. I can’t get over it.
I cannot resist something called Bump In The night : )))
LOL I hear you! 😉
Dude! DUDE! L8R G8R! Stone Cold! Material Girl! The shiz! The mother freaking shiz! Well, actually all of them are but ya! They needed to have special mentions…STOOONE COOOLD!
Also, I forgot to ask. would it be possible to do a comparison post between Jungle Queen and No Plain Jane? I know the are quite different but I think it would be really interesting to see them next to each other! Please and Thank you!
Will do for sure!! Added to the list 😛
LOL!!! You sound like me when I open my package, or my polish cupboard, or my spreadsheet 😛
Oh my gosh! I want all of them!!!
Thanks! They’re all so gorgeous. 🙂
Whoo, boy! What a fun post!
I was never a huge fan of Bump in the Night, but everyone likes it, so I must be wrong, haha.
Electro Magenta and Material Girl look amazing on you!!!
On Safari is one of my favorite collections ever!
GAH! I can’t believe you have at least 2 OMGs!!! I said this before, but that collection is highly coveted and highly difficult to find!
I love texture and I’ve always thought a black one would be great so it was a win for me.
Thank you so much. It helps that they are pink family polishes 😛
On Safari is such a beautiful collection. I am lusting after Kalahari Kiss and Elephant walk so bad.
I know I can’t believe it either. I wish I could get my hands on more. They are so gorgeous!!!
I LOVE CHINA GLAZE! If I could, I would want to own the entire range with all the different collections! haha! Some Like It Haute looks gorgeous! 🙂
ME TOO!!!! I am slowly working my way to owning it all. LOL
I am super jealous of electra magneta and techno teal!
Hahaha thanks!
