China Glaze Thinks We Should Let It Snow

October 17th, 2011 by Karen 56 Comments

china glaze let it snow

Oh, the weather outside is frightful, but China Glaze is so delightful. And since we’ve no place to go, Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow! 🙂

You’ll have to set down that Halloween candy corn for a minute, though, but don’t worry. I have a holiday candy cane and a cup of eggnog for you instead. Yes, it’s time for another holiday collection, and this one’s from China Glaze.

Even though winter is still months away, I say Let It Snow — as in the new 12-piece collection of festive polishes coming soon from China Glaze (about $6 each).

I’m wearing two layers in each of the swatches below. Have a quick look, and let me know if any of the colors ring your bell.

The China Glaze Let It Snow Collection

  • Poinsettia — A creamy ruby red
  • Ring In The Red — The holidays wouldn’t be complete without at least one glittering red polish
  • Winter Berry — A creamy cranberry red (perfect for sipping hot cocoa by the fire)
  • Velvet Bow — A rich, creamy red inspired by red wine
  • Glittering Garland — A dazzling glittery green the color of pine trees and mistletoe
  • Holly-Day — A rich hunter green sans sparkle
  • Champagne Bubbles — A sophisticated metallic gold with golden shimmer
  • Twinkle Lights — A mix of glittery shades that twinkle like tree lights
  • Snow Globe — A frosty white with flecks of snow
  • Icicle — A shimmery silver with a flash of ice
  • Tinsel Town — A metallic silver glitter perfect for a night on the town
  • Blue Year’s Eve — A lustrous, shimmering blue to ring in the new year

China Glaze makes some of my favorite blues and greens, and I think they’re on to something here with Holly-Day and Blue Years Eve. The glitter shades, too, like Ring in the Red, Snow Globe and Twinkle Lights, caught my eye.

What do ya think? Is it too early in the year, or should we say, “Let It Snow”? 🙂

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

    I agree with Arianne. Tinsel Town looks pretty amazing. So does Blue Years Eve.

    And apparently my mom thinks it’s Christmas time. I came back from my weekend in the South Bay to our Christmas tree being put up in the living room. O.O

    I am such a sucker for glitter polish! I would probably wear it all the time, except removal is usually so much trouble and kills my nails 🙁 Was it difficult for these ones?

      October 17th, 2011 at 9:08 pm

      Hi Alanna,

      No harder than usual. I usually soak a cotton pad, hold it down with some pressure for a minute or two and then it usually slips right off. It’s not difficult when I do it that way, but it does take time.

        Thanks Karen! I’ll have to try it that way – I think I’m just too impatient to take the time to do it properly!

        I’m the same as you Alanna. I ended up soaking my nails in a bowl of accetone remover the last time and then taking it off with a cotton pad. Similar to Karen’s idea and it does take time too.

      Hi Jessi,

      You can never have enough China Glaze. 😀 It really is one of the best polishes out there (doesn’t chip and sooo affordable).

      How have you been? Hope your week is off to a good start!

      Haha! I know the feeling! But Christmas collections always get me…and also fall collections, too. Seems like that’s when nail-polish companies really bring out the stunners of the year.

      I’m looking forward to wearing Snow Globe, Twinkle Lights, Glittering Garland, Ring in the Red, and Blue Year’s Eve.

      Karen, I like how you swatch a different colour on each nail. It helps me see how the collection looks like as a whole.

    The glitters in Twinkle Lights and Snow Globe look much finer than Deborah Lippmann’s Happy Birthday which are quite big and applies sparsely.

    Squee on Icicle! Actually Velvet Bow is really pretty, too. It’s odd that with all the glitter, I’d take a shine to the sort of basic maroon. They’re actually all lovely and very holiday-ish. 🙂 How was the dry time?

    Just when I thought I could curb my polish budget and then the holiday sets come out. :S

    China Glaze always makes fantastic glitters and Snow Globe and Twinkle Lights are no different. I definitely agree with you about the blues and greens. While I might skip out of Blue Year’s Eve (it’s right up my alley but it looks too similar to OPI’s Swimsuit…Nailed It and Orly Sweet Peacock), Glittering Garland and Holly-Green and fantastic. 😀

    Thanks for great swatches and awesome review, as always!
