I took a look at the fall China Glaze Vintage Vixen collection at my local Sally's. I was tempted to buy them all, haha. I tried to pick up something that I don't have much of. I just so happened to pick Christmas colors, red and green, lol. Oh well. I actually picked these up a while ago, but they sat there for a bit. And then I used them and took photos and the photos sat for bit. Better late than never, right?
This is China Glaze Emerald Fitzgerald. 2 coats! Of course, Seche Vite on top. I loved this application because it had great coverage. The brushes from China Glaze are slim, but spread nicely on the nail. No cuticle drag or other issues to note.
I love this color! In these photos it's showing more teal. In some light it was teal, in other light it was emerald green. I have no idea why, but that really intrigued me. I love that it's shimmery and not a true frost. You can't really see the brush strokes, which is good for me since I suck at that, lol.
This is 2 coats Riveter Rouge with Seche. Again, application was good, no real issues. Good coverage and good opacity.
Since this was a deeper red with golden shimmer, I chose rhinestones to make the gold pop. Check that giant orange one! Love those over-sized rhinestones, lol. This polish didn't change color in different light like the green did, but it's still nice and shimmery and pretty.
I loved both these colors and would recommend them! And hey, if you're looking to do a christmas mani, this might be right up your alley in terms of shade, haha.

@twister - yes, it is a great color. especially since it looks different in various lighting
Emerald Fitzgerald is on my wishlist, it's so pretty I can't wait to get it! I really like Rivetor Rouge on you too
I love both colors, I wish that CG polishes would be cheaper in Slovenia( about 11$)
I like the blog theme =)
@jana - it is gorgeous, you will not be disappointed if you get it!
@colorfulbottle - ouch, that's a little pricey, you can't buy it online for cheaper? and thank you! hehe ;)
Im looking for that color too. It looks very pretty on your nails, by some blogs i have seen that the glitter could be a big issue applying the coast i doesnt goe smoot and the surface is a bit bumpy. Im talking about Riveter Rouge
@maria - thank you! I didn't have trouble applying it. the glitter seems fine enough to not cause trouble. give it a shot!
