China Glaze Holidays Collection 2012

The Holiday Joy Collection:

l to r: Red Satin, Winter Holly, Cranberry 

Splash and Glitter All the Way

Red Satin is a dark red creme, that seems to be perfect for Christmas. The formula is a tad thin and it pooled slightly at the cuticles, but this doesn't take anything away from it's beauty. This is definitely a great Fall into Winter red! Red Satin is a two coater, but make sure to allow ample time between coats or you'll have bald spots. Red Satin is very shiny without a top coat!

Winter Holly is a green base polish with loads of rainbow micro glitter throughout! Winter Holly is a Christmas tree green and the micro glitter reminds me of Christmas tree lights! I loved this polish and I received so many compliments. This is perfect for a Christmas party mani or a Christmas day mani. Winter Holly dries matte. In the pictures below, I show the matte finish on the Middle and pinky fingers and the first and ring finger show top coat.

There's only a slight difference, but it is noticeable. Take a look:

Blurry to show the beautiful colors sparkling :-)

Doesn't Winter Holly remind you of color lights on a Christmas Tree?



Cranberry Splash is a cranberry red color with shimmer. This polish applied great and the finish is excellent even without a top coat. Cranberry Splash, as in the rest of the collection, is perfect for this time of year. I adored this polish, although it is similar to Red Satin.

No Artificial light

Glitter All The Way is a glitter bomb top coat! It is make up of a clear base with loads of nicro glitter in green, pink and gold. I layered this polish over Red Satin. I really liked this over the red color. It screamed Christmas to me. How fun is the name: Glitter All The Way? I love it!!

There's no fishing for glitter here:


The above polishes were sent for review, but a friend sent me Pizzazz as a gift. Since Pizzazz is a part of this collection, I decided to add it here.

Pizzazz is a beautiful glitter with a clear base and LOTS of hex, and square glitter in sliver fuchsia and green. It's so adorable! I'm so happy for the polish.  I decided NOT to put a base color under Pizzazz to see how buildable the glitter was. It was perfect. Two coats are shown in the pictures below and it's pretty opaque.

Pizzazz is so festive!
