If you haven’t yet heard by now, you have been living under the largest rock on the planet. China Glaze Colours From The Capitol is their latest 12-piece collection for spring, and of course, is a tribute to the upcoming movie The Hunger Games, which is based on a series of best-selling books from Suzanne Collins. The movie comes out in March ( I will be there with bells on!)

Let me say, if you have not read the three books in the series (The Hunger Games, Catching Fire and Mockingjay) RUN to the store and get them! I read them about a year ago and aside from The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo series, these are some of the best books I have read in years and years. Yes they are technically “young adult” but are not written in a juvenile or off-putting way for an adult. They are nothing at all like the Twilight series (which I get asked a lot). The story grabs you, sucks you in and is totally amazing. I died a little when I finished them, they were that good.

This collection of polishes includes twelve new colors with a variety of finishes. I did have a few issues with the formula of some of them, more on that below.

BB Couture Men on Film is the second new collection from them for spring. It’s the “manly” side of the collection.

This set features matte nail colors. Four of them are matte and two have a shimmery/matte finish. Actually they’re more satin-like than truly matte.

I did have some issues with the formula with most of these. The matte (non-shimmer) ones are VERY thick. They’re kind of hard to get even with no streaks. I felt I needed two coats for maximum coverage around edges especially, but it was so thick it made it even streakier. The shimmer/mattes ones were less thick and easier to work with. No streaking.

Revlon has some new Nail Enamels out in a large-ish display I discovered at Rite Aid. These are different from their other new ones out, which are (thank god) in newer shaped bottles! I will have a review of those shortly.

There seemed to be about 15 or more of these and the display I saw was picked pretty clean. I know there was a green one in there but none left for me, so I grabbed the ones that seemed interesting.

Who has two more Picture Polish Ozotic colors for ya? This gal does!

Ozotic 533 is a multi-chrome with holographic shimmer. It leans mostly towards the blue/purple side. The linear holographic shimmer is very strong and really amazing with this one.

Ozotic 520 is a multi-chrome that changes from red to orange to brown. When using a flash you will only see red but under low light you see burnt orange and brown much better.

These are definitely best used over a black or dark base to bring out the multi-chrome goodness best. You really only need 1-2 coats over your base to get a perfect effect.

Let me start this by saying I profusely apologize for showing you a polish in this collection that you will all want, if you don’t already have it, but won’t be able to get until next year…

Cult Nails Super Powers Collection is a new 4-piece set from the fabulous Maria! The woman knows her nail polish I tell ya.

This collection includes three new colors as well as a relatively new one that was previously released under the limited edition name Unicorn Puke. It’s now been changed into Clairvoyant.

And won’t be available until February now.

Don’t kill me please.

This collection was inspired by Maria’s love of super heroes and her wish to grow up and be Wonder Woman. Which she actually kind of is… HELLO! Nail blogger turned nail polish brand creator!
