China Glaze Fancy Pants and Scattered & Tattered

PRESS SAMPLES

   Happy Friday everyone!  I hope you all have fun plans for the weekend.  Today I'm bringing you the last of my China Glaze Avant Garden and Glitz collection swatches.

   Fancy Pants is a blurple polish with a pink shimmer.  The base is mostly purple with strong hints of blue.  Application was good and the formula wasn't as runny as Sunday Funday.  The hubby actually liked this color which gives it bonus points in my book.  You do need a top coat with this one.  The polish dries a bit matte/not as shiny as the rest of the collection.  I used 2 coats of polish over Finger Paints base coat.  I did not use a top coat in these photos.

   Scattered & Tattered is a red and black glitter mix from the Glitz collection.  The glitter mix is the same as the rest of the collection.  The formula is on the thicker side like Razzle Me, Dazzle Me.  This is another one that needs thinner before use.  Also like the rest of the collection, a dabbing method of application will give you the best results.  I used one coat over Fancy Pants and no top coat in the following photos.

China Glaze Mimosas Before Manis and Glitz N Pieces

PRESS SAMPLES

   The actual name of one of the polishes I'm showing you today is Mimosa's Before Mani's, but the grammar of that name bothers me too much to type more than once, so I'm going to fix it for my post.

   Mimosas Before Manis is a pinkish coral with subtle shimmer from the Spring 2013 Avant Garden collection.  It's warm and bright, but not a neon.  The formula was a little runny and I had some streaks with the first coat of color.  But those evened out with the second coat.  The below photos are 2 coats of polish over Finger Paints base coat and no top coat.

   Glitz N Pieces is a mix of black and silver glitters.  The glitters are a mix of large and small hex glitters in both sizes and short bar glitters in black.  The formula wasn't bad, but a bit thin so the glitters want to pull to the edge of your nails.  Once again I used a dab/brush combo for application to get the best results.  Below is one coat of Glitz over Mimosas Before Manis and no top coat.

China Glaze Snap My Dragon and Bling It On

   Happy Monday everyone.  This is a special Monday because it's also my birthday.  The boy is working all day today, so we celebrated on Sat with lunch at Cheesecake Factory and seeing Iron Man 3.  GO SEE IRON MAN 3! Not that I've given my public service announcement let's get on with the swatches.
   I'm going to be combing my China Glaze Avant Garden and Glitz- Bitz 'N Pieces reviews.  Why?  Because I swatched the glitters over the Avant Garden colors so it makes sense in my head to share them at the same time.  I believe Glitz came out first, but both collections are from early Spring 2013.  I received my samples at the same time so I know they came out close together.

   Snap My Dragon is a rasperry shimmer from the Avant Garden collection.  The shimmer is a slightly lighter shade of pink than the base color.  The formula and application are both great.  This is almost a 1 coat polish, but I used 2 in these photos to cover some minimal VNL.  I used Finger Paints base coat and no top coat.

   Bling It On is an indigo and black glitter mix from the Glitz collection.  There are multiple sizes of hex glitters and some short bar glitters.  Normally I'm not a fan of bar glitter, but the ones in this polish aren't too bad.  The formula is ok- a little on the thin side though.  With application I got better results from dabbing the polish onto my nail and kind of pushing the glitter around where I wanted it.  I found if I used a standard brushing application the glitter wanted to pull towards the tip of my nails or off my nails altogether.  This is one dabbed coat over Snap My Dragon.
