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.

Estee Lauder’s new spring collection is called Topaz and it’s filled with gorgeous neutrals and blues.

The collection is fairly intimate but there are some really great items in it. And maybe a couple that didn’t quite meet up to my hopes and dreams…

Guess who forgot to take bottle photos?

So remember I posted these new Revlon Nail Enamel’s last week and mentioned there was a green that I didn’t get. Well I went elsewhere and found the green as well as another green so I snagged ‘em! And thankfully these colors I wound up liking a lot more than the others.

Muse

Muse is a medium khaki olive green creme. Its kind of a drab green, which is what I like about it. Muted. Understated. It went on pretty sheer and I was worried it wouldn’t build up into much, but after three coats it was pretty nice!

Welcome to the colorful world of China Glaze Electropop! Electropop is their new 12-piece color saturated collection for spring 2012.

Nearly all the colors in this collection are cremes with the exception of two shimmers and one glitter. But that’s not to say they’re boring.

The formula was really great with nearly all of them. They seemed to apply a bit sheer and I kept thinking I would need three coats, but nearly all were just perfect with two.

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.
