Good morning ya’ll.
Today I’ve got China Glaze’s Loves You Snow Much collection for holiday 2009. These are all colors we saw last year with the exception of 5 Golden Rings.
I apologize in advance for the suck-tacular quality of these photos. The sunlight in my backyard this time of year is totally pathetic. We get slivers of sun here and there, and in-between every photo (which is usually only 2-5 minutes) the sun moves, so I have to chase down a new spot in the yard to take a photo in. It’s ridiculous, I need good indoor lighting desperately!
The other issue is that I only used two coats because I was pressed for time, so the colors aren’t as vibrant and saturated as they normally would be with three coats. Bear with me and check them out!
Tinsel
Tinsel is a silver glitter that’s slightly sheer if you don’t pack on the coats.
5 Golden Rings
5 Golden Rings is the new color of this collection. It’s a cool gold glitter. I love cool gold’s, so I am liking this a lot!
Ruby Pumps
Ruby Pumps is a red with red glitter. Very festive and pretty!

Emerald Sparkle
Emerald Sparkle is a deep emerald green with green glitter, and my fav here. This is what I wore last Christmas in fact!

Overall I love this collection, it’s definitely a great one to own, if you don’t have it already from last year. And if you do, then go and get 5 Golden Rings, it’s worth it, and I think would look really nice over a solid black polish.
You can find these in stores and online now.

Eh. Kinda expected. No supriese here. But Classic for sure and i like glitters for holidays. But I cant see. Any polish junkies not having near dupes for all of these (except maybe emerald *luvs it*) nice, if not a little yawnish

Whoa. Nice swatches (even if you have to chase the sun)!
What is the deal with Ruby Pumps? Swatches I’ve seen online don’t look like mine. I bought mine a year ago. It’s just not as bright jelly red.

I already have Ruby Pumps but went out and bought the Emerald Sparkle last night. So gorgeous! I cannot wait to wear it. I love wearing green polish when I have like a lot of dark greys on. It just looks gorgeous with it!

I have Ruby Pumps and Emerald Sparkle and they are beautiful. The other two I will skip since I have all of the China Glaze glitters that came out recently.

Your photos do not suck! I’ve started taking mine under the light in our cooker extractor fan – ha! It seems to do the job better anyway.
I already have ES and RP but am totally obsessed with gold at the moment – polish, Illamasqua liquid metal etc so I really need that one. *flexes credit card*

I’m so happy I found out we have a Sallys here where I live in Canada. I got the red and green color from this collection but I want the gold sorta. Thanks for the swatches.
