China Glaze Holiday Joy Collection

Hey Loves! It's Black Friday! Woohooo! I hope all my American friends had a lovely Thanksgiving yesterday and if you are partaking in the madness today, shop safe! :)

Today I have 4 polishes from the China Glaze Holiday Joy Collection to share with you. These are all awesome so let's just jump right into them!

China Glaze Glistening Snow


First up is Glistening Snow. This is such a cool polish. It is very fine silver and holographic glitter. My camera literally could not capture how holographic this is. Even in low light there were rainbows bouncing off the walls! I did three coats here, but I have since used this again and you can do 2 thicker coats and reach full opacity as well!

Blurred For Holo Effect
This is on the thick side, but you could layer it to add some holographic shine over any polish. The best way to describe this glitter is China Glaze Fairy Dust, on steroids. It's just plain awesome. You need this.

China Glaze Blue Bells Ring


Now we've got one of the stars of the collection. Blue Bells Ring. This is a true one coater. No need for a second coat to even it out. It is perfect. In the bottle it looks like an icy blue foil, but it is more a lit from within blue foil once it is on your nail.

One of the best things about this is that I don't think it will stain. I had no issues with it, which is awesome since these kinds of blues are notorious for staining. This will be an awesome stamping polish and I predict it will be making more appearances soon!

Next we have Merry Berry a cranberry red creme. This is beautiful deep berry red. This is two coats, but if you did one thicker coat you could completely make this a one coater!

This is really beautiful. I didn't think I would like this one as much as it's a pretty basic creme, but the colour is actually rather beautiful once it's on the nail. I can see this pairing perfectly with a sequin black dress over the holidays.

china glaze pizzaz


Last up we have Pizzaz! This is a multi coloured glitter in a clear base. This is very similar to many other multi coloured glitters out there, like OPI Rainbow Connection, Deborah Lippmann Happy Birthday and the like. Jen of The Polishaholic does a great comparison post you can see here.

I did one coat over Revlon Bare Bones and I really like the combination of the multi glitters over a nude base. This would look really cool mattified! The above picture really shows the different colours of the glitter. The large purple ones are especially beautiful. The glitter payoff is great. If you did 3-4 coats you could probably build this to full opacity if you wanted multi coloured blingtastic nails! (Although it would be a bish to get off!)

I don't think I can narrow it down. I would probably pick Glistening Snow and Blue Bells Ring if I had to decide between these. They really are something special. You can see the rest of the polishes in my press release post!

The China Glaze Holiday Joy Collection is available now in local beauty supply's such as Sally Beauty or Ulta. Which ones have you picked up from this collection?

  1. What gorgeous swatches! I haven't picked up any of these yet...I'm kind of on a no-buy since I'll be buying Christmas gifts soon. Maybe one or two will find their way into my shopping cart :)
