China Glaze 2013 Happy HoliGlaze Collection Swatches & Review

by Lisa Heath

I get so excited for all of the holiday collections coming out!  China Glaze has released their 2013 Happy HoliGlaze Collection and there are several polishes in it that I adore!

This collection consists of  13 shades, and I have 12 of those 13 shades to show you tonight.  Once I pick up the final one, I will add it in as well!

Check out the China Glaze 2013 Happy HoliGlaze Collection!

So Blue Without You

So Blue Without You

So Blue Without You is a gorgeous Blue with an aluminum-like mirror finish.  One of my favorites!  This was almost a one coater, but I did use 2 for this photo.

Your Present Required

Your Present Required

Your Present Required is a multi-sized and multi-colored glitter.  I used 1 coat over So Blue Without You and I adore this combo!

Elfin’ Around

Elfin Around

Elfin Around is a red rust with an aluminum-like mirror finish.  Another almost one coater, but I used 2 for this photo.

Be Merry Be Bright

Be Merry Be Bright

Be Merry Be Bright is a clear base with magenta and purple hex glitter in different sizes.  I used 1 coat over Elfin’ Around.

Mingle with Kringle

Mingle With Kringle

Mingle with Kringle is a fierce gold with aluminum-like mirror finish.  One of my favorites from the collection!  I used 2 coats for this photo.

Just Be-Claws

Just Be-Claws

Just Be Claws is a red with an aluminum-like mirror finish.  I used 2 coats for this photo.

Travel in Colour

Travel In Colour

Travel In Colour is an iridescent effect top coat.  I used 1 coat over Just Be-Claws.  It transforms shades into a snowy opal effect.  Really gorgeous.

Put A Bow On It

Put A Bow On It

Put A Bow On It is densely packed magenta micro glitter in a clear base.  I used 2 easy coats for this photo and 1 coat of top coat to smooth it out.

All Wrapped Up

All Wrapped Up

All Wrapped Up is densely packed midnight purple and blue glitter in a clear base.  I used 2 coats and a glossy top coat for this photo.

This is Tree-Mendous

This Is Tree-mendous

This is Tree-Mendous is green and gold glitter densely packed into a clear base.  I used 2 coats and a glossy top coat for this photo.

Bells Will Be Blinging

Bells Will Be Blinging

Bells will be Blinging is a clear base with blue and gold small hex glitters and silver holographic bar glitter.  I used 2 coats for full coverage and a glossy top coat.  This can easily be used as 1 coat over another color as well.

There’s Snow One Like You

There's Snow One Like You

There’s Snow One Like You is an interesting texture polish.  I don’t think I would wear it on it’s own as a full mani, but if you are into nail art – this would be perfect for snowy accents.  My boyfriend saw it and said it looked like I sprayed the fake snow onto my fingers.  I used 2 coats for this photo.

There's Snow One Like You side

I did a side view to show the texture as well.  Definitely different and very wintery!

I am missing one of the shades in this collection which is Santa Red My List.  I plan on picking it up this weekend and as soon as I do I will have it up to show you!

I couldn’t wear it again as a full mani, but I will have to try it out in a design!

Great swatches, Lisa! That white texture is so terrible as a nail polish, but it really does look like fake snow!! I think I might need it…
