Today I have the China Glaze Fall 2015 collection The Great Outdoors on the blog to show you! I previewed these shades at Cosmoprof NA and knew they were pretty, but actually putting them on made me really love them!
Here’s what China Glaze had to say about the collection:
Deadlines to meet. Trains to catch. Speeding cars. Loud sirens. In the hustle and bustle of today’s fast paced world, it is easy to lose sight of the true beauty that surrounds us. It can be a challenge to slow down and appreciate the wondrous world all around. This fall, China Glaze® encourages you to do just that with its The Great Outdoors collection. Continuing on its 2015 Colour Adventure, China Glaze® explores the vast tones and textures of the wilderness. These 12 new nature-inspired shades inspire you to ground yourself, even if for just a moment, and appreciate the treasures of the great outdoors that shimmer, sparkle and wow.

China Glaze Fall 2015 The Great Outdoors Collection Overview
I was actually quite pleased with this collection, especially the 3 duochromes. It’s a really nice Fall collection with very minimal issues as far as application goes. I had some minor streak issues with Gone Glamping and self leveling issues with S’More Fun, otherwise, nothing bad!

OMG, those duo chromes, Gone Glamping and Cabin Fever – I’m going to start looking for them right away. And I love 3 of the cremes too. Very nice
They did a fabulous job on the duochromes! A lot of brands show a shift in the bottle but not on the nail.
I am having such a hard time picking a favorite, these are all the most perfect fall colors! I think Take a Hike could be my fave. Sooo pretty!
They really hit it outta the park with this collection!
You don’t really want these, wrap them up and send them my way…I will take care of them for you hehehe …I love the glitters so pretty!
hahaha you’re hilarious ;)
I love Sleeping Under The Stars.
I wasn’t expecting the shifting shimmer in SLeeping Under The Stars! It’s a nice touch!
Digging this collection, especially Pondering, Cabin Fever, Under the Stars, Take a Hike and S’More Fun. I hope to see comparisons, curious hoe My Lodge or Yours compares to Dress me Up.
I might have Dress Me Up, I’ll have to check!
I am loving those colors! Thanks for the preview – I’ll have to drag myself to Sally Beauty to pick a couple of them up!
They are definitely worth picking up. I haven’t done a ton of Fall previews yet – but I’m hoping they are all half as good as this one!
Sleeping Under the Stars and The Great Outdoors are absolutely fabulous. I need to buy these. I really didn’t think I’d like this collection but there are a few stunning shades.
Fall collections are usually hit or miss for me, especially coming off of a Summer brights kick – but China Glaze did a fabulous job with this set
I really like Take A Hike!
That’s a gorgeous creme!
It’s been a while since I felt the need to own an entire collection, but I think China Glaze really hit this one out of the park! Love it!
They definitely did!
This was one of my favorite collections seen at CPNA! Great swatches!
Yes! I was dying to put them on at CPNA!
Take A Hike and Free Bear Hugs! Dang, those need to be mine!
They are beautiful!
I need S’more fun for the name! Cabin Fever is beautiful!
I loved that name, but I expected a creamy brown from it :) Still pretty though!
I have several of these on my wish list – China Glaze is my favorite nail polish brand and man would I want the whole colleciton, gorgeous.
This is probably the best whole collection they’ve put out in awhile.
This is a very mice Fall collection with a little bit of everything in terms of finish. My favorites are Take A Hike, Change the Altitude and Sleeping under the Stars! I hope I can find them at my local stores soon.
Your 3 favorites are beautiful choices!
Can I just have all of them? :)) I was going to list colors I love and then realized that I love them all.
haha it’s a beautifully done collection
Silver Fox, Wood You Wanna and Glamping. :O They all need to be mINE
