Press Sample

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.

Pondering

Pondering is a deep amethyst to grey to green multichrome. Probably my favorite of the collection, but the most difficult to capture on camera! I used 3 thin coats and a glossy top coat for these photos.

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!
