There's nothing better than coming home and seeing that your long awaited package of nail polishes has arrived! That's what happened to me yesterday, and it totally made my day :D I'd like to show you now what I ordered for myself as a late Christmas treat. They are quite a few!
China Glaze - Running In Circles
Running In Circles is part of this year's Cirque du Soleil: Worlds Away Collection. It's a bright emerald green glitter polish, almost a glass fleck, and it flashes gold at some angles. It's super stunning, I used 3 coats for the swatches. Formula seems to be great. I think this is perfect for a St. Patty's Day mani, don't you think?
China Glaze - Water You Waiting For
Water You Waiting For is also part of this year's Cirque du Soleil: Worlds Away Collection. It's a clear base packed with lots of blue and less green glitter. It's very opaque, I only needed 2 coats for these swatches, and the formula was also great.
It's A Trap-eze is another polish from the Cirque du Soleil: Worlds Away Collection. It's a super interesting polish: it consists of a sheer milky base and is packed with tons of multi-colored glitter. The particles are gold, green, pink, blue and so on. When you use more than 1 coat, it looks like a jelly-glitter-sandwich. Here I've done 3 coats, but 2 were already enough for opacity.
China Glaze - Whirled Away
Whirled Away is the last shade I got from the Cirque du Soleil: Worlds Away Collection. It's another clear base packed with black string and hex glitter as well as with white big hex glitter. This one is a little hard to apply, because you have to fish around to catch the white glitter. But I don't mind too much, it's still really great! Here I have 3 coats.
China Glaze - Champagne Kisses
Champagne Kisses was part of the Holiday 2012 Holiday Joy Collection. It's a champagne golden shade with glitter in it, looking a little holographic. It's very delicate and pretty. Here we have 3 coats.
China Glaze - Light As Air
Light As Air was part of the Spring 2010 Up & Away Collection. It's a light slightly muted lilac shade, very pastelly and pretty. It has great coverage, these are 2 coats, and is super pretty for spring, that's also why I bought it :)
China Glaze - Something Sweet
The last China Glaze polish here is Something Sweet, also from the Spring 2010 Up & Away Collection. It's another pastelly spring shade, a cool-toned light pink this time. A creme, 2 coats shown here. Super pretty, I think it'll go well with my skin tone :)
Essie - Marshmallow
In addition to that I got one basic Essie shade, called Marshmallow. This is a semi-opaque white shade, very shiny and jelly-like, but it doesn't look patchy. Here I did 3 coats. I got this for jelly sandwiches and layerings and stuff, and it's great for that :)
What do you think of my new nail polishes? I'm super happy with each of them, they're all gorgeous :) Can't wait to use them!
