Hey there! Welcome back. Apparently this will be “Fall Week” on Of Life and Lacquer because today I have the China Glaze The Great Outdoors Collection for Fall 2015. When I first saw pictures of this collection, I wasn’t SUPER excited. I wasn’t On Safari excited, if you know what I mean. Still, I felt there were quite a few shades that looked interesting so I was still looking forward to trying out all of them. What else can a polish addict say? I am kind of in a better mood because the weather has decided to cool down a bit which I am eternally grateful for. I hate getting the heat rages so you know that I’ve been much more mellow as of late. One thing that has come up is that my car is on the outs again. I bought this car 2 years ago and have logged like 16,000 miles. Two months ago my transmission crapped out so it was repaired under my warranty and now I’m sensing the same issue again where my car does not shift out of first gear. Seriously? I am going to have the biggest fit if this is just going to be a revolving door of issues. I bought a brand new car so I shouldn’t have to deal with these issues so early on, right? Anyway, enough complaining about my car and let me show you my swatches.

I think this collection is weird, but weird in a good way. Isn’t S’More Fun like the weirdest color to make an appearance in a fall collection??? If you like yellow/green polishes, you’re going to love this one regardless of how much it sticks out like a sore thumb. I am absolutely in love with My Lodge or Yours? and Change Your Altitude–they are such gorgeous neutrals but again, they seem to be more spring appropriate. This whole collection has a little bit of everything: delicious cremes, glitter, foils and duochromes. I had ZERO issues with the formula of these which is always such a wonderful thing to say because you know that if the formulation sucks, nothing will save it. The China Glaze The Great Outdoors Collection is available NOW at all the usual places where you can purchase the brand such as Ulta and Sally Beauty Supply. So which shades will you be picking up (or have already picked up)? Let me know what you think! Thanks for the visit today, and I will catch up with you soon.
I’m loving Sleeping Under the Stars. I’m going to have to get that one!

Mmm, me too! I really like the neutrals too, but Sleeping Under the Stars is #1 for me!
I love the muted shades, My Lodge or Yours? and Change Your Altitude.
Totally agree with you that this collection looks a bit weird for fall but there are some nice colors in here 🙂

Hmm… Loving those duochromes. How many coats did you need for them?

These don’t seem like typical fall colors but yeah, I think they’ll work. I actually like that weird yellow green. I wasn’t too wowed by these at first but the more I see them, the more I am liking the set. Your photos make me want them all!
That sucks about your car. I would be really upset. This is a weird collection. I really love the shifts of the duochromes, but they seem really brush strokey so that puts me off 🙁
I only buy opi but lately i have been disappointed with the reruns and the upcoming collections. Halloween s gonna be reruns with changed names but the colours and colour codes of previous polishes. Not a fan of Venice and and, next yr is starting with hello kitty. Goodbye, opi. But this fall collection is what i need!!! Yes! It gives mes the same vibes as opi nordic and san francisco together like something on point for the fall. I see seven takers so far! Prolly will end up getting all of them. Thanks for the post! Would love to see Venice from your perspective too! :):):)
I love most of these…so buy them all, right? Hope your car starts behaving itself soon x
About My Lodge Or Yours… Do your pics show its real colour? I’ve ordered it and now I’m worried it’s too dark IRL. If it’s like your pics show, I’ll be happy.
It’s a gorgeous collection. I hope I’ll receive it from my PR 😀
These all look amazing on you….its not fair. FALSE ADVERTISING!! 😉
