Finally, as promised, here are some of the swatches of my latest nail polish haul (with the exception of the MAC one). I still have some more polishes to swatch, but I really want to do this during the day so my photos can use the benefit of natural light. However, my schedule doesn't permit me to do that most of the time. I will really try to make swatches during the day.
Love this color that was created with Mary J. Blige. I was a little surprised that this wasn't as flamboyant as Ms. Blige sometimes is, but I am not complaining. This is a beautiful light milk chocolate with bronzey shimmer that can be used at any occasion.
I was a little iffy about this color but it turned out to be such a beautiful shade. Love how clean it looks on the nails.
I have several holos and this is a pretty one, and reminds me of my China Glaze holo in Tickle My Triangle (don't you just love the name?). This is a pretty mauvey-pink color with lots of bling-bling, so if you like glitz, this is for you.
I am in love with China Glaze's Rodeo Diva collection, and Golden Spurs is one of my favorites from that line. Yellow gold shimmer on my nails makes my nails and hands look sick, but this one doesn't because the gold is infused with a warm bronze.
I swear, this is SO much prettier in real life. I love the dark brown-bronze-copper nuances, and it looks so classy.
The phenomenal star of the Rodeo Diva collection. Everybody has gushed about how gorgeous the black with gold iridescence is. Absolutely beautiful.
Finally, here is MAC's Whirlwind, a widely acclaimed, highly coveted limited edition nail lacquer that is hard to find. The reason nail polish addicts are going ga-ga about this is that it is one of the prettiest teal polishes ever, especially when it's under natural light. It's very beautiful and makes the hands look clean and fair. Too bad I am not into blue/teal polishes on the fingers, but would totally use this on the toes.
Which are your faves? Mine would be the Lippmanns, Opulence, and all the Rodeo Divas I have. Haha, I actually enumerated everything I swatched in this entry (except Wildfire), but those are my favorites among my newest polish hauls. China Glaze really has a winner collection in Rodeo Diva.

all the colors look wonderful!!! Especially Prize winning mare :)
I love China Glaze's Rodeo Diva collection too! To date, I already have four polishes from the collection and I'm still craving for more.
Was it a breeze to apply the Lippman polishes? How would you compare it to OPI?
The Rodeo Diva collection helped me to fall in love with China Glaze as well. I LOVE Cowgirl Up, as it's my favorite, but I also like Rodeo Fanatic and Midnight Ride. I still may grab Wagon Trail and you made Prize Winning Mare look really appealing. Did you try In Awe of Amber? It's a gorgeous coppery color by CG that I just found and really like.
Hope you & yours have a beauty full Thanksgiving!
Hope you & yours have a beauty full Thanksgiving!
Nikki and Phyrra- Prize Winning Mare is my absolute fave among the ChG Rodeo Divas, I'm wearing it right now and I couldn't stop staring at my nails. :D
Phyrra- I haven't tried in Awe of Amber but I will check out swatches of those. Love the name, though!
melvel- basically it has the same application feel as OPI, though it doesn't have the pro wide brush. You can immediately see that it is a high end brand because of the ease in application and overall beauty of the finish.
Home Spa Goddess- Happy Thanksgiving to you too! Enjoy!
i love that china glaze ..the black one with the gold irridescence! where do you buy china glaze polishes? also, for the holo colors..does the glitter or shimmer feel gritty?
Wildfire sure looks gorgeous! Wagon Trail looks fab on your hands too dearie! i heard Lippmann dries and applies easy breezy and fast so i can't wait to get some too -- Superstar, Believe and Nefertiti are just love love love!
Oh my, these swatches are making me drool!! Those Rodeo Diva colours look so unique, and I adore that MAC shade. I think it's called Whirlwind though? (Wildfire is a blackened plum)
Whatever it's called, it's now my new life mission to get my hands on a bottle of that. Swoon!
yeah, sorry dearie, that is Whirlwind nail polish. As i own it as well.
Glitterati and anonymous- I agree, it's Whirlwind. I just got confused with the names. No biggie.
