China Glaze OMG Nail Polish

I have had some of the China Glaze OMG collection sitting around waiting to be swatched for some time now and finally got around to it this weekend. As you probably already know, these are holographic and super uber fabulous! I didn’t get the whole collection, only the five that appealed to me the most. I did three coats on all of these because I like the color to be really saturated, but you can get away with only two. Pics taken in sun with no top coat.

OMGOMG look how holographic OMG is! Ok that was lame. I was really suprised how cool this was and that I was able to capture the holographic-ness of this. As you can see, OMG is a silvery holo with micro glitter.

More from Carolyn New York

As you might have noticed, Carolyn New York is having a really great 50% off sale on their polishes now through Jan 10th. Here are two more swatches I have not yet shown to possibly inspire you to get, or not get these colors for half off. Pics taken in sun with no top coat.

Dark Side Of The CityI’m not sure why this is called Dark Side of The City since it’s BRIGHT electric blue, but whatever. It’s a really fun vivid blue shimmer and only needed two coats. This one was particularly creamy going on.

Chanel Vendetta – Spring 2009

Chanel released their Limited Edition Spring 2009 polish collection recently which included the fabulous color, Vendetta. As with most of their LE’s, this one was talked about a lot online before it was released, then sold very quickly once it was released. I bought this the same time I bought the two colors from their Moscow collection and I have to say, I am much more happy spending $20 per bottle rather than $30 per bottle. Still $20 is outrageous and I really wish they would lower their prices. Especially since Chanel doesn’t last any longer on me than Wet n’ Wild (and no, I am not exaggerating, all polishes chip on me 24-48 hours after I put them on, with the exception of Zoya with their Color-Lock System, because I wash my hands 8 million times a day). Pic taken in sun with no top coat.

Vendetta

Very vampy, no? Vendetta is a super deep almost blackened grape purple with lots of fine shimmery flecks that make it super special in the sun. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t seem to get the flecks to show great in the photos, but you can kind of see some pink and blue in there. For a second I thought this was going to be a dupe for a Carolyn New York called Howard Beach but I was wrong. Howard Beach turned out to be much darker and more blackened. Very pretty but worth $20.00? Hmmm I’m not so sure.

Vamp it up!
