Now that Halloween is over it’s time to REALLY launch into all that is the HOLIDAYS!!!

I for one am more shocked this year than ever that next month is Christmas already. Just last night I was looking at some candles on my coffee table that I switch out to red ones in December, and I thought “I JUST put the red ones back into the garage like 2 months ago”! But nooooo, it was 10 months ago! So strange.

Anyway, that leads me to the FingerPaints Merry & Bright Collection for holiday 2011. This collection of six new colors includes three glitters, two amazing cremes and a shimmery green metallic.

Let It Snow is the new holiday 2011 collection from China Glaze. It features twelve shimmery, glittery festive colors.

I was going to break this post down into two parts, but decided to just do them all at once since I know you have been asking about them.

It’s a great collection with some real beauties inside!

Color Club Foiled is a new collection for fall 2011 featuring six new foil or chrome colors.

I for one love foil nail polish, especially colors that are true metal colors like gold, silver, copper, etc.

The formula was really pretty good with all of these. Some foils tend to be a little streaky but these gave me no problem in that area at all. All of them were so opaque you only needed two coats.

Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Pretty Boy Nail Lacquer Collection for fall actually kind of looks like spring or summer colors in my eyes. But that’s not a bad thing at all!

Looking at them in the bottle I was a little mystified as to why these would be fall collection, but I like that they don’t always go the “normal” route. Keeps things interesting.

In the bottle I was less than excited about most of these, to be honest. They looked a little boring to me. But once I swatched them I really, truly liked almost all of them.

The formula was really great with every one of these. Perfect, opaque and smooth application. All were just two coats.

Chanel has put out quite the little collection for fall 2011 called Illusions d’ Ombre de Chanel.

The collection includes three new colors called Graphite, Peridot and Quartz, two of which I feel are VERY worth the sky-high pricing.

Formula. You know Chanel, plenty chippy on most people including myself. Well most polish is chippy on me within 48 hours anyway so really, it’s hard to tell. The first time I wore Peridot though I got a very random circle chip in the middle of my pointer finger within 24 hours. STILL the color is so gorgeous…

Peridot and Quartz applied a little streaky. Peridot does even out when it dries, but Quartz still showed some streaks. Graphite is thicker and I didn’t have any issues applying it and it dries pretty quickly also.

Note: Graphite and Peridot are limited edition (sadly) but Quartz will be part of their permanent collection.
