Hi all!
Today I’ve got a new collection from China Glaze called Khrome. This is a set of six metallic (or chrome) colors. One I actually showed you already in another post (Millennium).
The formula on these is most excellent. They are ALL one coaters! Also they aren’t as streaky as you might expect from a metallic. I didn’t have any issues, as long as the coat I applied was even and thin. Enjoy!
Millennium
Millennium was reviewed last week in another China Glaze post I did because I didn’t know at the time it was part of Khrome. It’s super, duper silver, like foil silver. It’s THE most silver polish I own!
Hi-Tek
Hi-Tek is a copper/gold color on the warmer side.
2030
2030 is a nice cool gold and reminds me of C3PO from Star Wars. I am not a huge fan of gold polishes, but this now makes it into my top golds ever (along with Deborah Lippmann Nefertiti). This has that same foil look as Millennium. Love it!
Robotika
Robotika is a pink/taupe color that’s on the warm side.
Sci-Fi
Sci-Fi is a cool lavender. This totally reminds me of a MAC I had about 12 years ago, which I threw away for some stupid reason!
Metallic Muse
Metallic Muse is a really medium beautiful blue. I think this is my favorite one of these. Most metallic blues seem to be a pale sky blue, but this reminds me of the ocean somehow.
This is a great collection to own if you love metallics. These should be out on the e-tailers websites soon (and are already on eBay and some at Sally’s), though I am not sure of the exact date.
What do you guys think, will you be getting any of these? What’s your favorite metallic polish ever? Let me know!

LOVE your site! I visit it daily! These are gorgeous nail polishes for sure! I am in love with China Glaze and all their fun colours.
We don’t get alot of fun brands in canada it seems. No colour club or sinful colours for me. Booo… lol…
Hi MissDeeCanada,
Thanks so much! I wish you had more fun polishes up there, it’s not fair!
i’m really down with millennium and i think i want 2030, the rest i think i’ll pass on. i was so happy with how millennium didn’t dry with any brush strokes! loved it.
Hi kelliegonzo,
I know isn’t that so cool? and I love how you only need one coat.
I need the rest of these! I got Millenium & Metallic Muse from Sallys & have worn both already & love them … I thought the Twenty-Four K that Sallys had was part of this collection, but I think I like 2030 even better for a gold chrome. As for my favorite chrome, I think it might be Metallic Muse, but it’s so hard to choose =)

Hi Colette,
You definitely need 2030, it is so nice! Metallic Muse is totally amazing also though. Get ’em all (says the Devil on your shoulder) hehehe!
I need Millennium and Robotica! I love one coaters .)

Hi AllYouDesire,
Um, yes you do. 🙂
Ooo! I used to be not so fond of metallics, but they’re growing on me! Seems like a smaller, and less streaky, collection compared to Romantique? And, oh, Millennium, what do you think of it compared to Maybelline Mirror Image? 🙂 Aaaaand… For those of us who won’t likely ever have Lippmann Nefertiti, is 2030 a good enough dupe-ish sibling, or at least cousin? 😀 I’m not into golds either, but Nefertiti I’ve wanted for a long time, it’s cold enough for my liking.
<3
Hi Feline,
Yes definitely less streaky than Romantique.
I don’t have Mirror Image so I can’t compare, sorry!
As far as Nefertiti, that actually has some micro glitter in it, so while the finishes aren’t the same, this is a very similar cool gold. I love cool golds also 🙂
Hahaha! I LOVE this new collex already! I’ve already got Millenium and now Metallic Muse in my collection, and I certainly wouldn’t mind getting 2030, Sc-Fi, Hi-Tek, and especially Robotika. In fact, can you believe I’m actually lemming for Robotika, and China Glaze says it’s a brown?
.-= Samantha´s last blog ..Something Different =-.
Hi Samantha,
Yeah it has brownish-ness (LOL) to it, but it’s not what I would classify as brown.
Thanks for posting these. Have you tried layering any of the glitters over these yet? I saw some of the Khromes at Sallys last week & was on the fence, though the SA raved about them. She said the colors were designed to be worn under the new glitters & that layering Nova over Millenium was the most blingtastic thing ever, & that the best way to wear Atlantis was over Metallic Muse. I’m really liking Robotica & Metallic Muse, I think Robotica might look nice under Stellar. Decisions, decisions…. LOL.
Hi satsuma,
No I haven’t tried layering them yet, but I just might now!
Hi, these look amaaaaazzzzing!!! I also have Millennium and Metallic Muse (which I thought was green, lol!) and just love them, they are so pretty with an amazing finish. I thnk I must get the rest!! And I love that idea of trying them with all the new glitters! It did seem that Twenty-Four K was a bit different in its finish from Millennium and Metallic Muse. I love the way these Khromes look! Thanks for posting these great pics!
.-= Euridice´s last blog ..Rachel Zoe is the Worst Boss! =-.
These are really pretty! I love Metallic Muse and Robitika. Thanks!
.-= Judy´s last blog ..Color Club: Wild at Heart =-.
Oh, thanks so much for the great swatches! I’ve been hoping to see this collection soon. I thought I would want only the Metallic Muse, but now I see I really really need the Millenium and the 2030 and the Sci Fi. And the Hi-Tek. Hmm . . . that’s almost everything. Robotika . . . maybe I don’t need Robotika. Is the Robotika a lot like the Delight polish from the Romantique collection? Because then I wouldn’t need Robotika and I would feel that I had made responsible choices.
Hi Jamie,
Delight is a metallic shimmer and these are straight metallics, so they are different. Also Delight is a little deeper of a color.
Then I guess I need them all!
Can you comment on how Sci Fi compares to Devotion from the Romantique collection? Thanks!
Hi TropicalChrome,
The color is close, Devotion is a deeper purple, but it also has some shimmer as well, whereas Sci-Fi is a straight metallic.
I think I am in love ^_^…
let me not sound overambitious here but millenium looks as though it can be a minx mani – hello $$ saver!
.-= Yaya´s last blog ..Bare Escentuals Sale at RueLaLa! =-.
Hi Yaya,
It might be really close! I really want to try Minx, but I keep hearing that the tips are never really filed completely smooth and I think that might drive me insane!
Aggh! Love! I’m a sucker for metallic foily polishes.
I’m going to order the whole collection. Just beautiful finish. Love these colors.
wow! i love almost all of these! no brush strokes… that is amazing!!! thank you for these beautiful swatches.
LOVE!!! Anybody tried it w/ Konads yet?
MissDee I’m in Canada too, so I’m going to order this collection thru 8ty88.
Thanks a bunch for providing these swatches. It really helps when we Canadians can never try it out or see the real thing in person!
Hi SaL,
I am so glad you like them, and I am able to help you out!
