China Glaze Spring 2015 Road Trip Collection Swatches & Review

Press Sample

Today I have the China Glaze Road Trip Collection for Spring 2015 and I am actually really happy with this collection.  The colors are vibrant and the shades with warm coppery shimmer are just beautiful.  I am so ready for Spring colors and it’s nice to start seeing pops of bright shades after months of deep vampy ones.  Don’t get me wrong, I still love my vampy lacquers, but the sun is coming out and I’m ready for Spring!

This is a 12 piece collection full of creme shades that look great alone, or will make beautiful base colors for fun glitters.

Trip Of A Lime Time

Trip Of A Lime Time is a yellow leaning lime creme.  I had a little issue with application for Trip of a Lime Time and it was streaky for me.  I used 3 coats for these photos and on the third coat it seemed to cover the streaks.

My Way Or The Highway

My Way Or The Highway is a vibrant turquoise creme.  I used 2 coats for these photos and did not experience any staining with this shade.

License & Registration Pls

License & Registration Pls is a marine blue creme.  I used 2 coats for these photos and I did not experience any staining with this shade either.

Boho Blues

This is my favorite shade in the collection. I loved the shimmers you will see in a moment, but this color is just amazing.  Boho Blues is a soft indigo creme.  I used 2 coats for these photos.

More To Explore

More To Explore is a bright, yet soft coral creme.  I was rather impressed that the formula for this was so easy to work with, I have similar shades that were streaky but this was spot on.  I used 2 coats for these photos.

Pinking Out The Window

Pinking Out The Window is a pink salmon creme.  Again, beautiful formula and easy to work with.  I used 2 coats for these photos.

I Brake For Colour

I Brake For Colour is another favorite of mine.  This is a vibrant pink leaning red creme.  I used 2 coats for these photos.

Pop The Trunk

Pop The Trunk is a bright orange creme.  When I saw the bottles of Pop The Trunk and I Brake For Colour side by side, they looked really close together, but on the nail there is an obvious difference.  Both are really pretty though and a perfect formula.

These photos have 2 coats.

Sun’s Up, Top Down

I saved the shimmery shades for last!

Sun’s Up, Top Down is a bright, sunny yellow with copper shimmer.  The shimmer isn’t a loud shimmer, but when lighting hits it just right, it’s amazing.  I used 3 thin coats for these photos.  I did notice that my bottle of Sun’s Up, Top Down was a little on the thick side which made application tricky, but it was also not tightened all the way when it arrived, so I don’t know if it thickened a little in transit or if that’s just how it is.

Dashboard Dreamer

Dashboard Dreamer is a complete Cinderella like color.  This is a beautiful powder blue with fine coppery shimmer.  I used 3 thin coats for these photos.

Wanderlust

Wanderlust is a beautiful light lilac with coppery shimmer.  I used 3 thin coats for these photos.

Pack Lightly

Pack Lightly is a light peach creme with fine copper shimmer.  I used 3 thin coats for these photos.

Overview

I am really happy with this collection for Spring.  I love the route China Glaze went with the 4 shimmery shades and a small part of me wishes all 12 shades had that same shimmer.  Overall application wasn’t bad at all for these shades, I only had issues with Trip of a Lime Time and Sun’s Up Top Down, the rest applied smooth and creamy.
