Collection Revisit: China Glaze Vintage Vixen- 6 more shades

Today let's revisit the other  six colors from the Fall 2010 China Glaze Vintage Vixen collection.

For Fall 2010, the China Glaze Vintage Vixen Collection captures the vivid and saturated hues of the 1940’s with this seductively complex palette. These classic shades of the season recreate the timeless tableau of movie land mystique, perfect red pouts and steamy nights where swing was the scene!

Classic Camel – Khaki crème with gold micro glitter

I really thought this might look good on me since my undertones are olive/yellow, but it did not look good. at. all. It reminded me of Grey Poupon. I need to search for a pic on this on someone very dark-skinned, I bet it would look gorgeous.


Ingrid – “Greige” crème with copper micro glitter

Very pretty, very dark. Reminds me of a collection Revlon came out with about 10 years ago with varying shades of chocolate.

Swing Baby – Taupe frost with silver micro glitter

This was absolutely my favorite so far- and totally going to be my first full mani of this collection. Stunning in the sun.

Hey Doll – Rose frost with shimmer

I typically don't like anything "rose" but I was pleasantly surprised by this color. There was enough brown in it versus pink that it looked really nice against my skin tone.


Jitterbug – Grey chrome with silver micro glitter


Goin’ My Way – Brown frost with copper shimmer

All of these swatches are two coats and all applied wonderfully.

Revisit: Sephora by OPI Glee Collection

I accidentally got quite behind on Glee, and then we had a DVR that died.... so I basically gave up in the middle of Season 3. However, I recently discovered that I could watch them on my iPad with my Amazon Instant Video app that I have since I have Prime shipping, so I decided to start back over and watch Season 3 in the mornings while getting ready for work. I finally finished last week and am obsessed with Glee all over again! So let's revisit swatches of the Glee collection from Sephora by OPI.

Let's start with the mini collection, which sold for $24.
