China Glaze Glitters Take 10 – the wrap up
Finally, the last installment of the 50 piece China Glaze glitter collection! I can finally stop stalking these on etailers as they were released piecemeal, which was tortuous, but a good thing as 50 polishes are a wee bit overwhelming. I’ll start with the pics of the last two colors, then try to wrap them all up.


Mango Madness is a pinker, darker version of Dreamsicle, but the same jelly base and medium opalescent glitter. This was three coats and a hint of visible nail line left over, but it would have been too thick to do a fourth coat.

Solar Flare is the gold version of Doll House. Ginormous gold glitter set in a clear base. This is one coat on the bare nail (I didn’t even try to do more this time – this is clearly not a polish for opacity).

I do prefer this as a topcoat, so here is Solar Flare over Wet ‘n Wild Black Cream.

And just to play, with China Glaze Matte Magic over it. Matte Magic has no real noticeable difference from Essie Matte About You.
And now, the wrap up – since these are the last, I’m going to recap all 50. I’m not going to repeat anything that I said before, I’m just going to list them all in groups, and the names will link back to the original post with the picture and description.

I was the nut who bought the entire collection! I won’t do that again. I let myself get so excited by the thoughts of all this glitter and ordered it all. Now I’m waiting to get some of the collections. Unless it’s a limited edition I’ll try and wait. This from the person that has 2 big orders coming.
