China Glaze Nail Polish in Party Hearty


Photo Source: Product Girl

Party Hearty by China Glaze was released with their 2010 Holiday Collection. It is a mix of large red hexagonal glitter, medium green hexagonal glitter and small gold and silver glitter with a clear base. Party Hearty has been my go to holiday manicure ever since I purchased it. I have never worn it alone. I typically wear it on top of a gold or green shade but it would even look great on top of a white or red. This was a limited edition nail polish so you won't be able to find it in stores but you might be able to find it at Ebay or at other online stores.

Essie Turquoise and Caicos

Essie's Turquoise & Caicos was released in Summer 2010 with their Resort Collection, but is now part of their permanent line. Essie describes this polish as " a flirty and pretty tropical aqua." Turquoise & Caicos is a green based teal. It almost has a jelly like finish. I used three coats for this to become opaque because it is a little on the sheer side.The formula of this nail polish is a little tricky to work with, but definitely worth the end result. These nail polishes dry really shiny so you could technically get away without a top coat.

China Glaze Nail Polish in Jolly Holly

Jolly Holly was released with China Glaze's Tis' The Season Holiday 2010 collection. Jolly Holly is a dark emerald green with lighter green shimmer that makes it look metallic. Jolly Holly leans more towards the yellow end of the green spectrum versus the blue side so it definitely sticks out in my collection. It only took one coat to become opaque, but I did two just to be safe. This nail polish was limited edition and has not been added to the permanent line but you might still be able to find it online at Amazon, Ebay or other online stores.

Barielle Jess' Champagne Toast


This polish is absolute GORGEOUS. This was part of their 2010 Holiday Hustle collection. I just picked it up recently when they had two days where if you ordered you would get free shipping. On top of that the nail polishes were buy 1 get 1 half off. So for two nail polishes it cost me $12.00 USD. I thought that was a great deal. The polishes normally retail for $8.00 USD a piece. Barielle describes it as a "Metallic violet with rose gold glitter."  I definitely agree on the lavender/violet part but not on the color of the glitter. The micro-glitter in this is pink and blue. None the less, this is still a very unique color. The glitter almost "sinks" to the bottom so you don't see it as much as I would like.
