China Glaze Red Satin

I hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving and Black Friday. I really enjoyed my days off but now it's back to the regular schedule. This is China Glaze Red Satin from the Holiday Joy collection. China Glaze describes it as a "silky blue-based red creme". That's the exact reason I wanted it, because it is a blue-based red. Although I think it is better defined as a crelly. I needed 3 coats to not have a VNL.

China Glaze Winter Holly

I went back and forth on whether or not I wanted to add this green to my collection. It ended up coming in a set so that cleared it up. This is China Glaze Winter Holly from the Holiday Joy collection. The press release described this as a "gold-flecked dazzling green glitter". It applies nicely but dries with a gritty matte finish (as shown in my pictures). After thinking that China Glaze couldn't top Glittering Garland from last year's collection, I was surprised that I liked Winter Holly a lot.

China Glaze Merry Berry and Glitter All the Way

 So I was able to get to Sally's and pick up a few polishes. This is actually a rare occurrence for me because usually I buy my China Glaze polishes online. I was a bit disappointed they didn't have the Cirque de Soleil collection yet but that's to be expected. I did however pick up a few polishes from the Holiday Joy collection. Here's the first two I will be sharing.

I'm wearing 2 coats of  Merry Berry with 1 coat of Glitter all the Way as my accent. Merry Berry is of course a berry red creme. In the bottle it seems a bit lighter than Velvet Bow from last year's collection. Glitter all the Way is an exciting multi-color glitter I couldn't resist with red, green, gold and purple glitters.
