The first time I read the name on the bottom of the pastel yellow bottle in China Glaze’s Up and Away Spring 2010 collection, I was TOTALLY SURE it said Lemon Liz — named, I assumed, after Tina Fey’s character on 30 Rock.
I thought, “How cool,” smiling gleefully. 
“They watch 30 Rock!”
And then I looked again: “Lemon Fizz”
Oh, how ’bout that… Lemon Fizz. Yeah, I guess someone needs to get her eyes checked, LOL!
The shiny-happy mix of creamy brights and pastels in China Glaze’s new collection look like the colors from a Deee-Lite video.
So playful and girly!
Most of the 12 apply smooth with full coverage. The two that didn’t for me (the lighter shades) — Something Sweet and Light as Air — gave me some trubs in the streaking department, but I still like the colors.
Like all China Glaze lacquers, these are free of DBP, toluene and formaldehyde, and they’re expected to grace Sally Beauty Supply stores this spring. As soon as I see them available anywhere online, I’ll let you know.
What do you think? Are these tres Deee Lite or what?

Hi Karen! I wrote about this collection a few day ago on my blog and I was really curious about the swatches
I have to say my favorite shade is Re-Fresh Mint. Two of my nail polishes by Kinetics Nail Colors have exactly the same color like Flyin’ High and Four-Leaf Clover and when I will do a review on them next week I will link to this post of yours because I find those 2 shades very similar.

usually I’m into brights, but the pastels are what I want from this collection! Lemon Fizz, Re-Fresh Mint, Light as Air and Something Sweet. I think Lemon Fizz is probably my favorite!
My favourite is Flying High but I love all these colours because they look so yummy! Looks like I would have to buy these online because I have no idea where to get China Glaze in Canadian Northwest coast

thanks for the swatches Karen. Do you know how close Lemon Fizz is to OPI’s Banana Bandanna which came out this past summer?

Ohhhh man!!!! refresh mint could totally be a dupe for my most beloved “HG” nailpolish!!……. Peppermint patti by MAC!!! Karen are they similar or totally the same? They look exactly alike from your swatch!

they’re really jumping the gun trying to psyche people up for this collection. I saw these swatches and went “wow why is this coming out in the winter? this collection screams spring…must be some new trend” haha! Four leaf clover looks pretty nice whatever the season!

Thanks for the swatches. Four-Leaf Clover looks gorgeous but all the others are very pretty too!

Thank you Karen!!! I love China Glaze colors, and when these come out it looks like I’ll be burning a hole in my Sally card to get them all!
Goooorgeous – I think I’ll get the entire collection come January.
I’m definietly going to get something sweet and light as air
Oh my Gosh ! these are All so pretty ! I *Love* Light As Air. It reminds me of Essie’s Body Language [my fav], but purple and not grey . I also love Lemon “liz” andPeachy Keen and all the green/blue shades .
My favorite mint green though will probably always be Essie’s Mint Candy Apple .. It looks so Tiffany’s, but sweeter . Love <3 !
Being a pink freak I like the “something sweet” but all the colors are awesome!

I actually like refresh mint and grape pop but voted for the mint one. I think I will definitely get this, esp now that my local Ulta carries China glaze now
The name and colors remind me of the balloons in Pixar’s Up!
But Lemon Liz is such a way better name. Haha. I think I love the last 3 colors.

Love the Yellows! It’s kind of a big deal to have a yellow that has good coverage, isn’t it? (Pipe up, nail polish gurus!)
Karen, How funny was 30 Rock this week? When Liz stepped in front of the high-def camera I just about died laughing!

OMG!
I can’t WAIT for this collection!
I have always loved cremes for their simplicity and this collection is gorgeous!
BTW Karen, I’ve been lurking around your blog for a few months and I have to say it is a bright spot in my stay-at-home mom day. So thank you for your tips, reviews and, most importantly, your spunk!
Love them all, but Grape Pop looks like a must have!

I stay away from yellow polishes but i love Tina Fey so much that I would buy a polish if it was called ‘Liz Lemon’ – the four leaf clover is my favorite right now.
Something Sweet is my favorite, but I also think that the entire collection is really pretty. I especially like both of the yellow colors.
My vote goes to peachy keen and sugar high. Yum!
Flyin’ High and the grape one are my faves. I can’t believe that the Spring colors are already coming out. It just feels like winter is starting in the Bay Area.
