China Glaze Awakening Collection

Happy Freaky-Friday, Darlings!

I'm just going to jump right to it since I cannot contain myself.

Ick-A-Bod-Y - Natural Light

 Ick-A-Bod-Y is an orange glitter polish with an olive green jelly base.  I used 4 coats in these pictures to get as much coverage as possible.  You might need to play with gently pushing the glitter around for even coverage.

Some suggestions for different looks might be to try a creme olive green base under Ick-A-Bod-Y for a more sparse green/orange glitter look.  I will try this closer to Halloween and show you.  I think you have correctly guessed that this is my favourite of the collection.  ;)

 

 Zombie Zest - Natural Light

Flash

As a lot of you may know, Zombie Zest is very similar to a couple other polishes recently released.  It is a delightful dark green jelly base with micro glitter that looks gold or green depending on the light or angle that you hold your hand at.  The only down part of this polish for me is that it is a very sheer formula.  This required 4 coats.  (I find that it is completely worth the trouble)

...the name is awesome too.

 Mummy May I - Natural (overcast) Light  Ahhhh nubbins!!

 With Flash

Mummy May I is a dark purple base with purple chunky glitter.  It is probably my least favourite of the collection, but still an excellent Halloween polish.

Did my nubbins frighten you?  Good.  This is a Halloween collection, you know.

o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o!!

Thank you China Glaze for another lovely collection!

SpaRitual - Flashback

Here is one of my new Summer favourites, SpaRitual - Flashback!

Honestly, I hate the name.  Flashback?  To what? Lighting forrest fires?  Something like 'Electric Orange' seems a little more suiting IMO.

Natural Light

Butt

Direct Sun

I didn't include a flash picture because the flash pulled out too much yellow and made it look wrong.  This neon is really awesome and really draws attention!  I will say that this took 4 coats and still has minor VNL.  Though you can only really notice the VNL if you are staring straight at it long enough to get over the shock of how incredible this polish is.  I am still on a search for my perfect nude polish to match my skin to put under semi-sheer polishes and in this case, neons!  This is my current mani and pedi.  ;)

China Glaze - Foxy

Ok, polish number two in the Vintage Vixen collection!  Say it with me now...

FOXY!

Natural Light

Flash

I hope these images expand.  They're supposed to!

This polish is a very cool rusty red shimmer.  MMM!!  It just glows with that gorgeous orange-red tone.  I have seen at least one other blogger that has said that it appeared to be a red with a bronze shimmer, but I didn't see that at all in my bottle.  Maybe my formula was a bit different.  I don't have my "bottle butt" image for this one because the camera died but it's the same format of label in my last post.  I've also noticed that a lot of girls have a VV collection that has the sale stickers on the bottoms with bar-codes.  Mine do not, they look like they are strictly for promotion.  Maybe they ran out of promotional bottles and dipped into stock?  

I unno.
