Ermahgerd it’s Friday! So it’s almost Saturday since I’m posting this so late, but I’m just super excited to have my weekend again. I can’t tell you enough how beat down I have felt this week, but today after work I went to get a haircut and it’s waaaaay short again which I love. That was so relaxing because I love having my hair cut. Then I came home and just vegged out while I did my nails for tomorrow’s Stamping Saturdays. Have you joined us for Stamping Saturdays yet? No?! Why not? You better get on that because I’d love to see your mani. So what should I say about the polishes I have for you today: China Glaze The Giver Collection? The Giver? What’s that? Oh, another YA novel. *yawn* Ok, so I haven’t actually read it and haven’t seen the movie yet, but Meryl Streep is in it so I’m in! Let me show you this collection, and then you can tell me what you think.
China Glaze Friends Forever, Right?
China Glaze New Birth
China Glaze Five Rules
China Glaze Intelligence Integrity & Courage
China Glaze Release
China Glaze Capacity To See Beyond
China Glaze The Outer Edge

China Glaze Givers Theme

China Glaze Boundary Of Memory
This shit just got real, yo! This collection came out before the Fall All Aboard Collection and China Glaze is definitely on a roll. Man, this collections is awesome. I know they are mostly cremes, but that is my favorite finish. The colors are so classy and have this very classic and serene look to them. The formula on all of them was absolutely perfect and I don’t have any complaints. I know everyone is going gaga over Boundary Of Memory and rightly so because it’s fantastically gorgeous. This type of full coverage glitter reminds me of I Herd That and I’m Not Lion from the On Safari Collection. What do you think of this collection? I have heard that people are having a hard time finding all of the polishes in this collection because it’s sold out everywhere so I guess I was lucky to find them all.
So what do you have planned for this weekend? I have a bunch of cleaning to do because I am planning to throw out tons of junk that I don’t need anymore. In a way I am the opposite of a hoarder because I tend to throw everything away–except when it comes to polish, of course. I hope you enjoy your upcoming weekend, and I will talk to you soon!
P.S. Sadly, this collection is up on my blog sale. I overspent by A LOT on polish recently so I can’t keep these. Hopefully they will find a nice new home.
Great swatches of this collection. Very nice.

Man, I really love this collection. I think if I had these i would wear the light neutrals all the time. Especially as bases for nail art. I feel like I use my vampire is buff too much and I need new options.
Great swatches!

Unfortunately I have all the ones I wanted already, but I agree this collection was a standout for me.
I was so sure I’d buy at least six of these, but as of now I’ve settled on Capacity To See Beyond, Five Rules and Community, just because it turned out that a few of these where pretty close to shades I already own (i.e. Essie Parka Perfect and Intelligence, Integrity & Courage). However I’m SO FRIGGIN PLEASED that China Glaze seems to be back on track and maybe now on they’ll stay away from the brain fart collections such as that Crinkled Crap Collection or whatever the hell they were called.

Nothing unusual here, really, but the colors are gorgeous.
Love your swatches! Was wondering if you know how “release” would compare to zoya “normani”?
Thank you! I don’t have Normani, actually, so I can’t compare.
*Sigh* Cynthia…you just make everything look phenomenal. I was super “EH” on this collection (except for MAYBE the glitter) and now they all just look fantastic, lol. I really like New Birth on you, but a lot of them stand out. Such good news that it’s looking like ChG is back on track!
I am legit excited about China Glaze again. Like…OMGTHECURSEOFSHITTYFORMULASISLIFTED!!! Praise the Lord Jesus Christ Our Savior. In all seriousness, this collection is so gorgeous. Too bad I overspent like a dumbass and decided not to keep them.
That is such a sleek & clean collection in my opinion. Totally appropriate for anyone who works in the office landscape and has a serious type of job.
