China Glaze 5 Golden Rings

Hello everyone!  I'm so sorry for my sporadic posting this past month or so.  I don't want to turn into one of those bloggers that just disappears from existence!  Life has been crazy, plus getting ready for the holidays with 2 little ones...I'm sure you all know what I mean.  Thanks again for sticking with me!!!

5 Golden Rings was released last year as part of China Glaze's "I Love You Snow Much" holiday collection.  The collection also contained Ruby Pumps, Emerald Sparkle and Tinsel, which I already had.  Luckily I happened to catch 5 Gold Rings on it's own at Sally's after the holiday.  Sad part is, I didn't actually wear it until a few weeks ago! 





The base is a VERY pale yellow and contains a mix of pale gold shimmer and darker gold glitter.  I have 4 coats on in these images and was quite pleased with the coverage.  The other plus is that the wear was phenomenal.  I think it was about 3 days before I even saw a chip!  This was released as a limited edition last year, but it's still available online at places like victorianailsupply.com or head2toebeauty.com.

Have a great day!

China Glaze It's My Turn

Another oldie, but goodie!  (Not really OLD, but you know what I mean).  It's My Turn is from the Kaleidoscope Collection released back in 2006.  Last month I posted another polish from the same collection.


In another post, I mentioned that I don't like the way gold nail polish looks on me.  This is one of the exceptions.  I think it's because it's more of a brown-based gold.  It doesn't look half bad.


Yummy-holo goodness.  I used 3 coats in these pictures.  I suggest clicking on the picture above to get a better look at the HOLO.

Keep an eye out, I'm posting some news in a minute, plus later on today I'm posting my giveaway!

Thanks for stopping by!

China Glaze Cowardly Lyin'

Cowardly Lyin' is a part of China Glaze's Wizard of Ooh Ahz collection.  I was completely unaware of this collection when it was originally released in 2001.  I did not have my current level of obsession for all things nail polish at the time.  I lived in a town that was about 30 minutes from anywhere up in NY...had just gotten married and was sporting *gasp* acrylic nails.  I'm so glad that China Glaze listened to their fans and re-released it!

Unfortunately for me, Cowardly Lyin' just doesn't look that good with my skin tone.  I think it's so pretty though, and I'm not that much into gold nail polish (probably because they look like crap on me)!


Cowardly Lyin' is a very pretty, light gold with tiny gold glitter particles. 


It's quite sheer...I used 4 coats and still had visible nail line, although you can't tell as much in the pictures.  You'll want to click on the images to see the detail of the gold glitter.  Very pretty! 

Thanks for stopping by!
