China Glaze Vintage Vixen Swatches Part I

Here are the first six swatches of the China Glaze Fall 2010 Vintage Vixen collection. I am liking some of the shades from this collection a lot. I thought that they were too frosty or metallic-y for my taste, but they're not the 80s-frosty look I was fearing. Goodie!


Swing Baby

Swing Baby is described as a taupe frost with silver micro glitter. I think this is a wee bit too glittery for my taste, but this can be a good pedicure color as it makes the hands and feet look clean (not to mention really bling-y).


Goin' My Way

This is a brown frost with copper shimmer. It's frosty but entirely wearable. The copper shimmer adds oomph to an otherwise boring color.


Riveter Rouge

This is a deep red shimmer with I believe gold and red microglitter. Very festive and would look great for holiday occasions. I would definitely wear Riveter Rouge on my toes with sexy strappy sandals. Yummy!


Bogie

Bogie is a very pretty eggplant/plum frost with shimmer. I love eggplant shades so this is definitely right up my alley.


Midnight Mission

Midnight Mission is a navy blue frost with silver micro-glitter. Another nice, deep frost that doesn't scream 80s to me because the shade and the kind of frost finish it has are not dated. I can't wait to use this.


Jitterbug

As I had mentioned in a previous entry, Jitterbug is a pretty gunmetal chrome with silver micro-glitter. This is similar to my Zoya Freja, but Jitterbug is flashier because of the silver micro-glitter. I love these kinds of shades as they are edgy and yet still wearable.

All in all, I was very scared that the frosts from the Vintage Vixen collection would turn out to be the dated ones that I remember my mom used to wear when I was 5 or 6 years old. It turns out that these are not as frosty as I had feared, and the micro-glitter toned down the frost and gave it a different flavor and texture.
