NOTD: China Glaze I Herd That

China Glaze I Herd That

Glittery goodness. I had some chipping when I wore the other glitter like this from this collection (I'm Not Lion) but I am on Day 3 and don't have any chips at all. Hopefully you can see some of the holo glitter in the pic- you can click on it to enlarge it if not. It's really pretty and suits my warm skintone well.

I love glitters like this! I couldn't believe how well this covered in just two coats, but if you look closely, you can see that the coverage is not so great on the tips... in fact, this started to chip a bit on the second day, which is when I shot this photo. It wasn't that noticeable since it was a forgiving color.

NOTD: China Glaze Desert Sun and On Safari Wrap Up

China Glaze Desert Sun

from the On Safari collection

I wasn't sure what this caramel shade would look like against my warm skin tone, but I sort of like it. I would actually call it butterscotch rather than caramel. And now I want a cookie......

The above swatch is just two coats and it applied nicely.

 Since I swatched these one at a time, I thought I'd do a wrap up and post all four swatches from this collection together.

China Glaze Prey Tell

China Glaze Man Hunt

China Glaze Exotic Encounters

I really want to try I Herd That and I'm Not Lion. They both are gorgeous glitters that seem to look pretty on their own as well as used as a topper. Have you tried either of those shades, and what did you think?

Disclosure: These four shades were sent to me for review purposes.

This is a deep, dark, chocolate brown with red undertones. I did 3 coats to get full coverage.

 

Warning: if you happen to get this pooled onto your cuticle.... well, cleanup is hard. You can see on my ring finger that I couldn't quite get it all off, even though I bet I tried about 8 times.

 

Still a gorgeous vampy shade- perfect for fall- just use a steady hand!

Such a pretty bright blue cream. I did find it necessary to do a third coat to get full coverage. One thing to note: this was super easy to do clean-up on... sometimes blues are hard to clean up and if you happen to get some near your cuticle, it won't come off easily. However, I had no problems get a perfect gap by the cuticle with my clean up brush.

I thought this teal cream was so pretty- and it covered great in two coats. It's quite dusty and I thought it went great with the Safari theme.
