Press Sample of China Glaze
Spring 2016 House Of Colour
Review & Giveaway

I have another post for your tonight and it’s the China Glaze Spring 2016 House of Colour review and giveaway! I finished up the photos last night and got up early this morning to crop and watermark them all (so not a morning person, but I wanted it done!) plus prep the giveaway for my readers. It’s been awhile since I did a big giveaway for my readers, so I ordered this full collection while waiting for the samples to arrive.

Yup – the winner of the giveaway will receive ALL 12 colors shown above!

Let’s take a look at each shade individually, then we’ll move onto the giveaway.

China Glaze About Layin’ Out

China Glaze About Layin’ Out is a bright pink salmon crelly like formula. It’s a little pinker in person and was just bright enough to freak my camera out, but it’s not quite neon. I used 3 thin coats and a glossy top coat for these photos.

China Glaze Chrome Is Where The Heart Is

China Glaze Chrome Is Where The Heart Is is a silvery purple foil finish. I used 2 coats and no top coat for these photos. There are visible brush strokes, which is common for this type of finish.

China Glaze Come Rain Or Shine

China Glaze Come Rain Or Shine is a beautiful medium blue creme base loaded with violet pink shimmer. I used 2 coats and a glossy top coat for these photos.

China Glaze Don’t Be Shallow

China Glaze Don’t Be Shallow is a light sky blue creme. I really liked this shade, but the formula is on the thinner side, so I needed 3 coats to build up to full opacity.

China Glaze Girls Just Wanna Have Sun

China Glaze Girls Just Wanna Have Sun is a pale yellow creme. First coat was identical to most pastels and the first 2 coats were a little patchy, but the third coat evened it out nicely.

China Glaze Glitter Me This…

China Glaze Glitter Me This… is a really pretty glitter topper! It has a clear base with gold, silver, white and pale pink hex glitters in various sizes mixed in. I used 1 coat over Pink Or Swim for these photos. A little lower and you’ll see Glitter Me This… over Let’s Chalk About It.

I didn’t need to fish any glitters out and the base had a nice consistency.

China Glaze In The Near Fuchsia

China Glaze In The Near Fuchsia is a bright fuchsia crelly like formula. I used 3 thin coats and a glossy top coat for these photos.

China Glaze Let’s Chalk About It

China Glaze Let’s Chalk About It is a described as a pastel lilac, but on it looks like a white creme that has been lightly tinted with lilac. It reminds me a lot of Friends Forever, Right? from the China Glaze The Giver collection released in August of 2014.

I used 3 thin coats and a glossy top coat for these photos. It applied like a pastel and the first 2 coats were a little patchy, but the 3rd coat evened it out.

China Glaze Moonlight The Night

China Glaze Moonlight The Night is a really pretty glitter topper! When I first received it, I thought it was pretty glitters in a sheer blue jelly base, but when I saw the description I was happy to see it’s a clear base.

China Glaze Moonlight The Night is a clear base packed with blue, turquoise, mint, orange iridescent hex glitters. I used 1 coat over China Glaze Don’t Be Shallow.

I also used China Glaze Moonlight The Night over In The Near Fuchsia to show it over another base.

China Glaze Pink Or Swim

China Glaze Pink Or Swim is a slightly muted pink creme. I used 2 easy coats and a glossy top coat for these photos.

China Glaze Shut The Front Door!

China Glaze Shut The Front Door! is a medium violet creme loaded with gold shimmer. I used 2 coats and a glossy top coat for these photos.

China Glaze Sorry I’m Latte

China Glaze Sorry I’m Latte is a pale beige creme. It’s described by China Glaze as ‘light coffee with milk’ which is pretty accurate as well. I used 3 thin coats and a glossy top coat for these photos. I did find this formula a little on the thin side, but not runny.

China Glaze Spring 2016 House Of Colour Overview

I have a few polishes in this collection I really like, but a few that don’t work with my skin tone. I do like Let’s Chalk About It, Girls Just Wanna Have Sun and Sorry I’m Latte as base colors for nail art over full mani colors for me. My top picks are In The Near Fuchsia, Layin’ Out, Glitter Me This… and Moonlight The Night.

China Glaze House Of Colour will be available February 1st at Ulta, Sally Beauty Supply and other fine salons for $7.50 each
