China Glaze Vintage Vixen Swatches Part 2

Here is Part 2 of my China Glaze Vintage Vixens. To check out Part 1 of the China Glaze Vintage Vixen Swatches, CLICK HERE.


Ingrid

For some odd reason, Ingrid is one of my most favorites from the Vintage Vixen collection. It is described as a "greige" creme with copper micro glitter, but I don't see much of the grey. It is more mushroomy with gold-ish flecks to my eyes. I LOVE, love, love this, though. I had misplaced this and I couldn't sleep when I couldn't find it, haha. So glad it was just lost in the maze of countless China Glazes in my Helmer.


Classic Camel

Classic Camel is a khaki cream with gold micro-glitter that I am on the fence about. I am not sure if this works with my skintone. Sometimes I feel it looks clean and bright on my hands, and sometimes I feel it looks like crap. However, I am leaning toward the "clean and bright" side because that's how I feel the longer I look at the swatch pic. This would probably look great Konadified with a darker polish.


Foxy

Foxy is a burgundy frost with shimmer that is really pretty. It doesn't have micro-glitter so this is a straight frost which I thought I would loathe, but it's actually quite pretty. Chic and very fall.


Hey Doll

Hey Doll is a rose frost with shimmer. Not a favorite as this looks a little too dated for me. A definite mom color, though, and would actually look amazing on the right skintone.


Emerald Fitzgerald

Another winner! May be the most popular one in the collection and I believe will be a cult favorite.  Emerald Fitzgerald is described as a gorgeous, gorgeous turquoise green frost with shimmer. It is not turquoise to my eyes at all, but true to its name, is like a stunning deep emerald green. Love, love, love. I would kill for this polish. Heh.


First Class Ticket

This is a lovely deep purple frost with shimmer that would look great both on the tips and toes. As I said, I am usually not a fan of frosts but the color is just beautiful.  First Class Ticket is another pretty polish to herald the coming of fall.

All in all, the Vintage Vixens were a pleasant surprise. I had thought they were going to be the dreaded 70s-and-80s frost I grew up seeing on my mom's hands (I love her to bits, but those kind of frosts are too dated-looking now). Instead, China Glaze incorporated a lot of micro-glitter in some of the shades to give a different texture and finish to the otherwise frosty look. It also tremendously modernized the frost. The colors are also very up-to-date and interesting. Kudos again to China Glaze for giving a different perspective to the traditional frost finish.

My favorites are definitely Emerald Fitzgerald, Ingrid, Midnight Mission and Riveter Rouge. The rest are also pretty colors that would pique your interest in varying degrees, of course your favorite colors would greatly influence your perspective. Have fun playing with the Vintage Vixens!
