China Glaze Eye Candy for holiday 2011 is a new collection of six glitters.

Yep, glitters. Again. I feel like all I have swatched the last month are uber glittery nail polishes, and to be frank I have seen enough!

Coverage with these was really quite good. I used two coats for nearly all of them and was satisfied.

Color Club Backstage Pass is a glittery, festive collection for the holiday season this year. But you best make sure you have MAJOR patience!

These aren’t your garden variety glitters. Nay. They are super crazy multi-colored, shaped and sized glitters and all but one are set in a clear base.

Ice Baby is the newest nail collection from Wet n Wild for holiday 2011. It’s limited edition and exclusive to Walgreens.

I know plenty of you have been on the lookout for this collection to no avail yet. But hang in there, hopefully you’ll find it soon!

This collection is comprised of eight new colors, all super glittery and sparkly (and not easy to remove, especially when you swatched them all at once).

They don’t come in a full sized bottle, but rather a smaller 0.34 oz bottle. But at $2.99, they’re a steal!

I used three coats for all of these because I wanted as much coverage and glittery fabulousness as I could muster. They are definitely thicker when you apply that many coats, but not overly hard to work with.
