[...] kollektionen, de har försökt att återskapa originalen och de har lyckats rätt bra faktiskt (se mer original vs nylansering hos ALU). När dessa kom ut på Transdesign så norpade jag dessa direkt, jag måste ju självklart se vad [...]

I think I’ll definitely be buying all of these. I’m just starting out my collection, and I think some great holiday glitters are the perfect way to start.

Definitely sounds like I want some of the colors–Good Witch?, C-C-Courage, and Dorothy Who?. I’ve already got Ruby Pumps at home so I can afford to miss that one, and I’m not sure if I want to get Cowardly Lyin’ and The Ten Man since we’re seeing so many of those golds and silvers these days.

Thanks George! I’m happy to see you commenting regularly again. I think the formula change is partly to blame for the opacity issues. The old formula was completely different and the brand was owned by different people then. So I’m sure it was a challenge to completely duplicate the colors.

That’s certainly a unique NYE mani choice. I love it!! I normally think of metallics for that night but a sparkly, frosty purple is right up my alley. I feel for you, having to wear more conservative colors during the week. I would have a hard time complying.

Aww, thank you for the compliment. I’m so happy that you like my swatch pics. You know this collection was supposed to launch in January but was pushed up so the employees at your store might not know yet. They will when the boxes arrive. Ha! You should ask them what day they get shipments in and just call to see if it’s arrived. Saves you the trip.

You have the best swatch pics I’ve been able find. Beautiful!!! I went to Sally’s today looking for this collection and they knew nothing of it. They said they already have their new items for December in and this collection wasn’t in so they guessed it might be available in January. Maybe that’s just one clueless Sally’s in Phoenix and they will have the collection sooner… I hope so because I’m dying for a few of these colors.

I did pick up Lubu Heels and Ruby Pumps though so it wasn’t a total waste of a trip. I’m new to China Glaze (I’m a recovering OPI snob) and I’m loving CG so far!

Oh I hope they have them out already. I haven’t checked my Sally’s yet. Glitters are a pain to remove but if you really soak the pad/cotton ball and hold it for a like 20 seconds it’s much easier. The longer you can let the remover work on the polish, the better.

Oooh gorgeous! I will check Sally’s today and see if they have Good Witch?. And maybe another bottle of Ruby Red Pumps, even though my bottle’s not running out (because glitters are so fussy to remove.) Wouldn’t want to pay shipping for just 2. Thanks for the swatches, and they look super close to the originals in most shots.

Hi Michelle:

You have outdone yourself, right before Thanksgiving Day even with posting the swatches for this China Glaze collection. I really love the imagination of the characters in the movie. It’s so clever and cool. The polishes are gorgeous and your nails never looked so beautiful. I always mention that Michelle, and it’s always true. Gorgeous, amazing and stunning.

Where are the green colors? Couldn’t they have a green color for the collection? I was disappointing as I am sure you were too that there was no green colored polishes

Anyway, I love how you make note that the original formula of “Dorothy Who?” It still is a beautiful color shade; but your right the original is far more opaque than the 2009 version. Kudos for recognizing that.

The CG CCC-Courage is my favorite purple shade of the collection. Do you think the re-design is due to making the polish more cost effective or to make it appear easier to apply or something else entirely?

Cowardly Lyin’ is such a fun yellow gold frost and would it make for a summer color than for the Fall? Or maybe would look great with a gold or yellow evening gown to a formal function. Add a gold colored clutch, yellow or black pumps and any woman would look super in this nail polish shade.

Good Witch is so much lighter than the original and has less glitter in the original formula, why did they do this? Ten Men is a stunning silver shade that sparkles are a dream to view.

Now, we come to the most gorgeous and I agree “spectacular” red “Ruby Pumps,” and would great on anyone’s pedi toes, LOL. It’s super dazzling and it looks amazing on your nails Michelle. Plus, it’s available from my good friends at Sally’s Beauty Supply, which makes the collection even easier to find right before the holidays. I can see Ruby Slippers on the toes and fingernails of most holiday shoppers. Happy Thanksgiving Day!

((((Love Michelle))))
