Part 2 of China Glaze’s Holiday 2010 collection, you can view Part 1 here.
I quite like the darker shades from this collection, there is certainly a sense of richness to them. All swatches only required 2 coats, except for Jingle Bells that needed 3. And as usual, no top coat.
Jolly Holly
A lovely rich forest green shimmer, I don’t think this photo has given this colour enough justice as it is gorgeous and applied so wonderfully.
Sugar Plums
A deep maroon shimmer with silver flecks, unfortunately these flecks seem to be rather chunky and as a result have caused the finish of this polish to be off very gritty 🙁 You’d need an extra thick layer of top coat to smooth tis out, or you could just opt for a similar shade else where as I’m sure this shade is dupable.
Little Drummer Boy
A dark navy blue polish with very fine shimmer, it’s like the blue counterpart of Jolly Holly, very rich and applies wonderfully.
Jingle Bells
Out of all the polishes, this applied the best! A light champagne gold with fine shimmer, absolutely gorgeous. Look how well it photographs! (Or maybe this is a lucky shot for me?) Either way, my favourite from this entire post~
I’m very sad I missed out on Peace on Earth, another moss green that seems lovely! So if you have a chance to pick that up, don’t miss it!
Love Jolly Holly!
Would suit a wicked witch look too.
Oh yes it would! Hmmm! Gives me ideas for future costumes hehe.
You’ll need evil pointy nails, though!
Ahah! I’ll have to think about that, I’m do unco with long nails, I kept poking myself when I wore fakes once XDD;;
