A England Saint George

I have A England Saint George on today!

Saint George is a deep dark green/teal holographic polish and it's really absolutely gorgeous! Actual colour in real life is slightly more green than shown in the picture.

I added some holographic silver stripping tape for a french tips effect & I totally love how it turned out! It looks so classy and with so much personality. <3

What do you think?

Polishes Used:

China Glaze Texture Collection 2013

Another swatch post today! Today I have the China Glaze Texture collection!

The texture collection is pretty interesting, many people thinks that it would be like the OPI's sands, but they're actually quite different! The finish for the textured collection is actually glossy and doesn't need top coat at all. It looks exactly like those textured walls IMO.

Even though the colours are rather opaque, would advise at least 2 or more coats for the 'texture' to be more evenly applied across the nail.

China Glaze Of Coarse! is a beautiful bright blue

China Glaze Bump & Grind is a hot pink redish colour. This is really bright and beautiful too!

China Glaze In The Rough is a lime coloured textured polish. Actual colour looks more yellow IRL.

China Glaze Unrefined is a bright barbie doll pink textured polish!

China Glaze Itty, Bitty, Gritty is a melon/coral colour textured polish. This is probably my favourite of the collection, both name and colour-wise. :)

China Glaze Toe-Tally Textured is a bright orange textured polish. The colour is actually quite nice, but Orange really doesn't suit me. :( it makes my skin looks so yellow!

Just a short simple post today.. So what do you think? Is the Textured collection a yay or a nay for you?

Swatch: China Glaze Take A Trek

Finally! The last of the Hologlam 2013 collection! Today I have swatches of China Glaze Take A Trek!

Take A Trek is a cool denim holographic polish from the China Glaze Hologlam 2013 collection and this is absolutely beautiful!!

Application-wise, I used a normal base coat and there was bald spots for the first coat, but the second coat covered them up pretty well.

OMG, I have to say this again & again.. Take A Trek is absolutely gorgeous!! Holo-ness is normal grade but the colour! Who can resist denim?! Denim holo!

I love this! I think it's my favourite of the collection! And to think it's placed at the last! I totally chose to swatch them at random and I think this is fate. Save the best for the last. LOL

Finally I'm done! What do you think of this collection? Love them? or just meh? I totally love them! Holos all the way! Keep them coming please!

I'll be doing a post consolidating all these swatches of the Hologlam collection soon!

Swatch: China Glaze Get Outta My Space

Day 11: Today I have swatches of China Glaze Get Outta My Space!

Get Outta Of My Space is a light powered violet holograhic polish from the China Glaze Hologlam 2013 collection. Beautiful soft colour with power holos!

Application-wise, I used a normal base coat and there was bald spots for the first coat, but the second coat covered them up pretty well.

One of the more common shades from the collection. From the bottle, it's rather similar to Colour Club Cloud Nine.

Super holo! The holo shone even under dim lights!

What do you think? Would you get this soft feminine beauty?
