NOTD: China Glaze Fly

Sorry about the lack of posts lately. Work is being a pain. Hopefully I'll be back to my regular posting schedule soon.

Fortunately I'm loving this NOTD. China Glaze Fly is such a pretty shimmery pink color. Love it.

NOTD: Chine Glaze Awakening

I don't remember what collections this is from, and I have no idea why it looks so gross in the pictures. It's really gorgeous in real life. The prominent gold shimmer is beautiful.

NOTD: China Glaze Flying Dragon

This has got to be one of my favorite China Glaze polishes. I love the color (purple with blue and red glitter), and I love that it's matte and the surface is kind of bumpy. I know a lot of people hate that, but I like it when a polish has texture.

NOTD: China Glaze Tickle My Triangle

Nice job on the naming again, ChG.... The polish is lovely though. I love my holos.

NOTD: China Glaze Lets Do It In 3D

Oh you China Glaze and your dumb ass names for nail polish. At least the polish itself is gorgeous. A scattered dark grey holo. Beautiful.

NOTD: China Glaze Custom Kicks

I've worn this before when I had longer nails. Wearing it again sort of makes me want long nails, but at the same time I like short nails as well. I do with my nails were a little more square in shape, but it's such high maintenance.

The polish is a very pretty, bright polish with nice subtle shimmer. I think it's great for making a dark winter day a little warmer and more fun :)

NOTD: China Glaze B-Girlz

The weather is pretty depressing at the moment, so I wanted to wear a BRIGHT nail polish. I decided on B-Girlz from the Kicks collection. This is a lovely bright pink with very subtle shimmer. I was a little disappointed in how sheer it was. I needed three coats, and even then it wasn't completely opaque.

NOTD: China Glaze Admire

My nails aren't doing so great at the moment so chrome polishes like this one really show how uneven they are. I still love this polish though. Did I meantion that this is one (1!) coat?

China Glaze Summer 2010 Poolside

Looks like a pretty neat collection. I could use a few more neons.

NOTD: China Glaze Entourage (with and without Nubar "FOR MEN" topcoat)

Something about this color just isn't working for me. I think it might be the shade of green, or maybe it's just the time of year. I took three coats to get good coverage, but application was pretty painless.

With macho basecoat:

NOTD: China Glaze Tinsel

This is from last year's holiday collection. I wish the silver glitter was a little more dense. After 3 coats I can still see my nails underneath. I think it would look nice layered over something else, but for a dense silves glitter; I prefer my Eyeko Disco Polish.

China Glaze Spring 2010 Up and Away

I know this is probably old news to a lot of you, but since it's starting to feel like winter; I really enjoyed looking at this promo for China Glaze's spring collection. Some of the pastels look very nice!

NOTD: China Glaze Prize Winning Mare

One of my absolute favorite fall polishes. This goes so well with almost all my fall clothes, and it's subtle enough to wear to work. It wears quite well too.

NOTD: China Glaze Stone Age

Ugh, I think this bottle of polish might be dead. I bought it used, and it leaked a bit in transit. I've thrown so much thinner in it, but application is still horrible. It's like a bottle of steaky slime. YUCK!

NOTD: OPI Ink + Konad m73

I figured that I should use some of the full nail patterns now that my nails are short. The m73 plates has quite a few nice ones. I used China Glaze Emotion for the stamp. I think it looks pretty nice.

NOTD: China Glaze Custom Kicks

I've had a few people ask what NOTD stands for lately. It is short for Nail Of The Day :)

And today my NOTD is China Glaze Custom Kicks from the new(ish) Kicks collection. Custom Kicks is one of the shimmers in the collection. It is bright, but not quite Neon. Application was good. I use three coats.

NOTD: China Glaze Tickle My Triangle

China Glaze holos. Does it get any better? I doubt it.

NOTD: China Glaze Fiji Fling

This is from the Fiji Fling Collection. I really like that collection even though the colors are pretty sheer. The formula is really smooth and the colors are very glowy.

NOTD: China Glaze Solar Power

This is my new favorite yellow! It's such a lovely, warm, shimmery yellow. I do like shimmers more than cremes in general, so it makes perfect sense that I prefer this. The formula is really good. You need 3-4 coats for opaque coverage, but I really like how China Glaze flows. Some people have issues with drying time, but that never happened to me.

NOTD: Nfu-Oh #84 over China Glaze Cowgirl Up

I've been wanting to wear Nfu-Oh #84 for a while, but it seemed pretty sheer in the bottle. Since I wanted to wear Cowgirl Up for another day, I decided it would look great with a couple of coats of the Nfu. The Nfu has gorgeous golden and blue glitter. The blue is only visible in bright light.

And a blurry pic to show the colored glitter:
