Hello and happy lazy Monday! Well, it’s lazy for me because I have a 4 day weekend, and I am enjoying it to the max by being lazy. I had planned so much stuff like Kondo-ing my nail polish stash, but that didn’t happen. I started watching a new series on Netflix and that made me lose a big chunk of my weekend. On Saturday I swatched about 25 polishes so now I have the task of editing the pictures which is my least favorite part about running this blog. Part of the polishes I swatched were the 12 that make up the China Glaze The Arrangement Collection, so let me get down to it. Continue reading “China Glaze The Arrangement Collection”

China Glaze Paint It Black Collection – Halloween 2018
I don’t know what’s going on with me lately, but I feel like I’ve been obnoxiously grumpy. I don’t know if it’s work, personal stuff or just me being a little extra. This past weekend was pretty chill and I took some time to do some cleaning because it’s been crazy dusty due to some work that is being done outside. Maybe that’s the culprit! All the constant noise outside has really been driving me nuts. Anyway, I hope I can improve my mindset pronto. Today I have the China Glaze Paint It Black Collection to share with you which is their Halloween offering. Let’s take a look below.

China Glaze Ready To Wear Collection Fall 2018
It is a little surreal that Fall collections are starting to pop up when Summer is barely getting underway. Fortunately, it has not been ridiculously hot here lately, but I know that it’s just a matter of time before the heat really gets going. Last week I went looking for polish stuff at some of my usual haunts and lo and behold, I saw some of the new Fall collections. I did one of my usual grabby hands rituals and got way more stuff than I should have. Are you ready to check out the China Glaze Ready to Wear Collection for Fall 2018? Let’s look at my swatches below. Continue reading “China Glaze Ready To Wear Collection Fall 2018”
China Glaze Shades Of Paradise Collection
So last week I was meeting up with my coworkers for dinner after work and by some coincidence, we ended up going to a restaurant that is near some of my favorite nail supply places. Yes, it was a coincidence if a coincidence is that I recommended the restaurant and made everyone go there so I could shop before we ate. Yeah, my coworkers think I’m lovely. Anyway, I was planning to pick up a few shades from the China Glaze Chic Physique collection and when I was searching for them, I noticed a bunch of new polishes that I hadn’t seen before. Luckily, I had semi-charged my phone earlier in the day so I did a quick google search (what did we ever do without google and smartphones??), and it came back that they were from an upcoming collection. That’s all I needed to read and a grabby hands episode ensued. My good friend Lesley, who is also a polish collector, has witnessed this in person and I bet she’d be impressed because it happened in a flash. Let me show you some swatches of the China Glaze Shades Of Paradise Collection for Summer 2018. Are you ready? Continue reading “China Glaze Shades Of Paradise Collection”
China Glaze Channelesque – #vintagepolishfriday
When I first started collecting nail polish, China Glaze was one of the first brands that I focused on. I knew that it would be hard to get some of the more sought after shades like those from the OMG Collection, so I searched out other colors that I came across on makeupalley. Do you guys remember when Sephora by OPI put out Metro Chic? It was pretty much impossible to get for a while, and then I saw people talking about how similar it was to China Glaze Channelesque. Well, that is when it went on my list, and I started looking for it at my beauty supply stores. Imagine my surprise when one day I found multiple bottles in some forgotten corner at one of my favorite beauty supply stores. Let me show you some swatches because I talk more about this polish.

China Glaze Xpress-Ahh! – #vintagepolishfriday
I don’t think that I have ever been a fan of a simple brown color for my nails. The closest I ever came to it was when I became obsessed with Tom Ford Bitter Bitch strictly because of the name. Do you remember when I wrote up my April Fool’s post regarding this polish? Oh boy, that was pretty funny especially the comments. Feel free to check it out here. Now, the reason why I’m talking about brown polish is because I have an interesting polish for Vintage Polish Friday that just happens to be brown: China Glaze Xpress-Ahh! Let me show you what I did with it below. Continue reading “China Glaze Xpress-Ahh! – #vintagepolishfriday”
China Glaze Classic Chromes – #vintagepolishfriday
Hello dear readers, and welcome to another installment of Vintage Polish Friday. I was looking through my melmers trying to decide what polish to use for today, and I really wanted to use one of the many China Glaze Classic Chromes that I picked up a few years ago. I feel very lucky that I seem to have access to a lot of dusties, but I haven’t been to any in a while. When I found these, I picked up quite a few bottles as well as some Aroma Café polishes. I get so excited when I find fun old polishes like these. Unfortunately, sometimes the formula isn’t exactly nice when the polish is this old. Let me show you some swatches below. Continue reading “China Glaze Classic Chromes – #vintagepolishfriday”
China Glaze Too Busy Being Awesome
When I was a kid, my parents didn’t have much money for things that weren’t absolute necessities so I didn’t always get the newest and coolest toys. This is something that can be hard to explain to a kid, but I learned quickly not to ask for things that I knew were expensive. One particular toy that I always wanted was My Little Pony. I must have wanted it badly enough for my mom to remember it years later when she came home from a garage sale with a My Little Pony toy. Although I was already in my late teens, it meant a lot to me and to this day I still remember the look on my mom’s face when she gave it to me. This makes me wonder if I’m spoiling my nephews too much because I buy them EVERYTHING they want–will they appreciate things as much when they basically get new toys all the time? The reason I’m talking about this is because I have a polish from the My Little Pony Collection to share with you today: China Glaze Too Busy Being Awesome. I also used it in a stamped mani so let me show you what I did with it below. Continue reading “China Glaze Too Busy Being Awesome”
China Glaze In The Mood – #vintagepolishfriday
Woot, woot! Friday is here again, and I’m gearing up to have a major lazyfest this weekend since I have 4 days off. Do you have any exciting plans this weekend? Since I will have a couple of extra days, I’m going to do some dusty hunting. Now that I’m committed to doing #vintagepolishfriday on the regular, I want to have a pretty decent stash of oldies. Today I’m going to show you a China Glaze In The Mood polish that I found at one of my dusties. The In The Mood line was allegedly released in 2001, and it’s pretty hard to find reliable information online. The only information that seems somewhat legit is that which I found here. Unfortunately, my bottle did not have a name and it appears that they used to have a sticker on the back of the bottle with the name of the polish. Let me show you some swatches below. Continue reading “China Glaze In The Mood – #vintagepolishfriday”
China Glaze QT – #vintagepolishfriday
Happy Friday! I’m so glad the weekend is almost upon us so I can veg a little, and maybe work on organizing my melmers. I don’t know what to do about my nail polish storage situation, so I guess that’s the reason why I have been shopping my stash lately. Although I see plenty of pretty new polishes being released on a weekly basis, I cringe at the idea of trying to find the space to store the steady stream of polishes that I get. One thing that I haven’t been able to stop doing is checking out destashes and evilbay for old discontinued polishes. Because of this, I wanted to resume doing something: Vintage Polish Friday. Continue reading “China Glaze QT – #vintagepolishfriday”
