![]() The jelly base is packed to the veritable GILLS with sparkle so intense, so IMMENSE, it glitters from across the room. If a finer sparkly green polish exists in the world, I haven't found it. Finally, this week proved to be too much temptation, and I slicked it onto my nails. I let it sit on my vanity for TWO YEARS, taunting me every time I snuck a glance its way. You would think, given my intense feelings, that I would have immediately worn it, wouldn't you? You would be wrong. I fell passionately, madly, deeply in love with this aptly named emerald green before I even had the bottle in my possession - a love affair that quickly deepened once I held it in my hands. I bought this polish back during the holiday season of 2008 when it was part of China Glaze's Sleigh Ride trio. I mention this because my influx of nail polishes has meant that, as much as I've been wanting to paint my nails with the gorgeousness that is China Glaze Emerald Sparkle for just about two years now, I never got around to it. And that's not counting the 200+ bottles I've already tried, approved and put into my color-coded bins for safekeeping! ![]() Right now I've got at least 200 unused bottles in my stash, just waiting to be broken out and tested. ![]() The perfect red, an essential in everyone’s collection… but I suspect most people already have it since it really isn’t that unique.Do you ever feel like there are so many nail polishes, so little time? I definitely feel like that. Even OPI’s Pepe’s Purple Passion is similarish. OPI’s Bring on the Bling is similar but with a more pinky hue.Ī deep maroon red creme, not a hard shade to dupe! Try OPI’s Sariguite or even a light coat of OPI’s Black Cherry Chutney. A few more coats and this would look amazing, very christmasy. Even tho I wouldn’t deem my description as unique, I wasn’t able to find any dupes to this! And I actually really loved it, it’s edgy yet girly.Ī mixture of antique gold, red and green glitters. Or check out OPI’s Happy Anniversary which has even finer micro shimmers.Ī gunmetal shimmer shade, packed with a ton of large and medium sized silver glitters. Color Club’s Snowflakes and Color Club’s Starry Temptress are much finer versions of this polish with a smoother finish. ![]() Red glitter with large chunky red glitter, not my favourite of the collection and it leaves a rough finish.Ĭhunky light hologram glitters, a bit too gritty for my own taste but I do have a number of very similar dupes I can talk about. Surprisingly I found Face of Australia’s Titanium to be a pretty spot on dupe!Ī chilli red crème, I thought Zoya’s Sooki and Tamsen was a pretty close dupe to this. But if you like this without the flecks try China Glaze’s Jolly Holly.Īn emerald crème shade, Essie’s Going in Incognito has more of a bluer tinge to it.Ī metallic silver shade, China Glaze’s Cheers to you is a more metallic version. Shimmery canary yellow gold with silver glitters, I would’ve never thought silver glitters would work well with yellow gold, but now that I see it, it isn’t half bad!Ī rich moss green with duo chrome gold and green flecks, I absolutely love this! It is gorgeous, I am such a fan of anything with duo chrome and the finish on this is very smooth. I find the shade to have a very decadent feel. As always 2 coats with no top coat.Ī shimmery royal blue, despite appearances the finish is really smooth. Overall it’s a solid collection for more festive occasions, depending on your work I can’t see many of these being overly neutral or work appropriate. Another holiday 2011 collection! I think this may be the last one, yay! Luckily you can still purchase these shades if you feel so inclined □ I liked that this collection had a good mixture of crèmes and glitters. ![]()
