Following the Let it Snow Collection, up next is another Limited Edition Set from China Glaze called Eye Candy 3-D Glitters. This collection offers 6 gorgeous glitter polishes that are opaque to wear alone or be used for layering. Let's get started! :)
Blonde Bombshell: A fabulous combination of golden yellow micro glitters, small golden hex glitters, and yellow stringy/bar glitters. The bar glitters are not as apparent as the other two glitters, but it definitely is a unique combination. This was perfect in 2 coats.
Marry a Millionaire: This is definitely the most interesting combination of glitters in this entire collection. It is a mixture of small purple and pink hex glitters and tealish/yellow/blue stringy bar glitters (depending on certain angles) suspended in a clear base. I fell in love with this polish in the PR photos and in the bottle, but not so much on my nails alone. I'll probably be using this for layering. Nonetheless, the color combo is awesome! :) This was 2 coats, but 3 would have probably eliminated any bald spots.
Lorelei's Tiara: Ahhh, the favorite child! ;) This is a GORGEOUS combination of fine, silver micro glitters and small teal/aqua hex glitters. I'm wearing this one right now and I've gotten plenty of compliments! ;) Perfection in 2 coats.
Material Girl: A combination of small dusty rose micro glitters, small pink hex glitters, and medium sized holo pink hex glitters, suspended in a clear base. Whew, that was a mouth full! Unfortunately, this was my least favorite from this collection. I'm not a huge fan of light pink glitters- it doesn't really flatter my nails :( This was probably the most, "blah" color from this collection. Application was effortless tho, and was opaque in 2 coats.
Love Marilyn: A combination of cherry red glitter and small round silver & red glitters. I love the combination in this one too; it screams Holiday! Not much to say about this polish, but it really is a beauty! :) This was 2 coats.
Some Like it Haute: This one is a total gem! :) It has a combination of fine silver, charcoal, and black micro glitters and small hex holo glitters suspended in a clear base. I love how the glitters pop, regardless of how smokey this polish looks. This was 2 coats and was a breeze to apply.
My Top 3 Must Haves: Blonde Bombshell, Lorelei's Tiara, and Some Like it Haute.
This collection is an all around winner in my book! They were all very easy to work with, but like most glitters, they are a pain to remove. Click here to see how I deal with removing glitter nail polish. Application on these polishes were absolutely effortless. The formula was perfect- not too thick not too thin, perfect. :) I highly reccomend using a top coat as these all leave a very gritty behind. A topcoat will also enhance the true beauty of these polishes.
As stated above, this is a Limited Edition Collection, so if you see something you like, I urge you to pick them up immediately. China Glaze is available through salons and professional beauty supply stores nationwide.

ReplyDeleteI thought I would love Marry a Millionaire, but for some reason none of the swatches I saw of it are screaming my name. Maybe I just need to see it layered over something?
oohh, they're all so pretty : )

ReplyDeleteHi Carla, I nominated you for the versatile blogger award!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the swatches! I have Marry a Millionaire and Some Like It Haute, but haven't had a chance to wear them yet (I'm kind of only wearing super-festive, overtly Christmasy manis these days). I kind of agree about Marry a Millionaire though, I think I'll be trying it layered, since the swatches I've seen of it on its own haven't been as amazing as I was expecting.
ReplyDeleteConnie: Thank you, so much!
ReplyDeletetriceratops: You are very welcome! Such a shame about Marry a Millionaire! I was looking forward to this one the most! Nonetheless, it's fab. for layering! thanks for dropping by! :)
