China Glaze Let It Snow Collection - Snow Globe & Twinkle Lights

Posted by Unknown on Monday, October 3, 2011

Yes, more Christmas collection swatches! In October...

Somehow, a beauty supply store here already put out the display and gift sets for the China Glaze Let It Snow Collection.
At first I was going to get one of the gift sets (with fingerless gloves!) but then I realized that I needed the glitters and not another blue or silver polish.
Last year, I sadly missed Party Hearty, the Christmas glitter. I was not about to do that again. So I got two of the glitters!

China Glaze Twinkle Lights, China Glaze Snow Globe
Twinkle Lights is the new Christmas glitter for this year, and Snow Globe is a re-release from the specialty colors collection in 2009.

China Glaze Twinkle Lights
This is four coats of Twinkle Lights. Four coats is a lot, but you need it for full coverage.
This glitter is comparable to the OPI Alice In Wonderland or Burlesque glitters. It's also the same consistency as China Glaze CG In The City.


Gold, green, and red glitter. Super Christmas-y. Very lovely!


The above picture is just 2 coats. It builds nicely and remains thin enough to wear even after 4 coats.


From a distance it has a bit of a greenish-gold overall look.

For those of you who prefer to layer your glitters, I've swatched Twinkle Lights over black and red on a wheel!


Look how gorgeous it is over black!
It's not as nice over red but still good.

I'm so happy I got this one! Now I won't regret not getting it in a few months like I did with Party Hearty.

Now for Snow Globe! This glitter is not something you could wear alone so I've swatched it over white to show the pretty iridescent colors and for the best snowy look!

China Glaze Snow Globe
This is one coat of Snow Globe.
The formula on this one is a bit thick.


I love all the pretty iridescent colors! There are small and large pieces in this glitter and it really looks snowy and pretty!


And here it is at 2 coats! This was a bit too thick for my liking, but the result is so pretty!


If you look closely you'll notice that there is some sort of shimmery clear glitter as well as the iridescent glitter. It's just so pretty. Good times.


That's how it looks on a natural nail. Not very pretty.
I've also swatched this over some other colors on a wheel!


Over other colors, the sheer iridescent glitter looks totally different and you always get a different look. And then over black it is just amazing!


Two awesome additions to my glitter stash. I totally recommend getting these!
These should be popping up in stores everywhere soon.

If you want to see the rest of the collection (yes, all 12 colors!) check out Kayla Shevonne's swatches here!

I think I'm on a roll! 2 awesome sets of swatches in 2 days. And I have 3 Color Club collections swatched and ready to show you too! Keep your eyes peeled for those :)
