Today I have a quickie post for you guys. It is a simple swatch of a beauty I picked up on clearance at Sally's. This is the only China Glaze Holiday color I picked up from 2011's collection. I honestly was not that blown away by CG's 2011 Holiday Collection when compared to 2010's. But this was so cheap I just could not pass it up. Glittering Garland made a lot of "Best of 2011" lists and I can totally see why now.....
So... Pretty amazing right? Glittering Garland is a deep Emerald Green base packed full of micro glassfleck shimmer. I am madly in love with the light Green shimmer in this because it's not really a bright, in-your-face, type of shimmer. This is more of a "glow from beneath" shimmer that lights up the creamy base. The formula for Glittering Garland is absolutely great and only takes Two coats. I am so glad I picked this up!!
Thoughts?
While green polish doesnt generally look good on me, that polish is gorgeous.
ReplyDeletei love green!!! This one is a rich deep one and with lots of sparkle!!! Love it!!!
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing! I must try mine too, I guess :> You have a perfect nails shape - I wish I could have them filed like that.
ReplyDeleteI just love that Color! I got it for the holidays, but I think I may be bringing it out throughout the year. It has such a nice sparkle.
ReplyDeleteThis was in my 2011 favorites post! It is so freaking pretty
ReplyDeleteSo gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteIt looks beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing green! :) <3
ReplyDeleteHow have I not worn this yet? Looks great on you!
ReplyDeleteI just want to tell you I LOVE the short nails!!! So chic!
ReplyDeleteI love this. Green is not a favorite of mine - but this is a sister to my favorite polish - ruby pumps (exactly the same but red) and I'm hoping because both these polishes got so much attention that they'll make more colors like them.
ReplyDeleteIt's a good one!!
ReplyDeleteLovely, I wish I'd picked one of these up
ReplyDeleteThis was such a hit with me that I might even stop looking for an old CG called Emerald Sparkle I always wanted big time!
ReplyDeleteThis polish is so beautiful!! You took a really great photo of it! :D
ReplyDeleteI have this polish and love it. However, wanted to let everyone know that it is a *near* dupe of Orly's Meet Me Under the Mistletoe. The polish obsessed blog did a really good comparison.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this color! This and Snow Globe were the only two colors I grabbed from their holiday collection this year and I'm 100% in love with both of them! Once, I layered Essie's As Gold as it Gets over the top to add even more gold glittery goodness. And Snow Globe over top of a light blue is GORGE!
