NOTD: China Glaze Recycle

With the release of the Nubar Fortress collection, it's been proven that grey is very on trend at the moment. Let's revisit an old favorite...China Glaze Recycle, released a few years ago.


Old photos that I only just got around to posting. Hoping to be able to post more often! I'm so very sorry, dear readers.

NOTD: China Glaze Emerald Sparkle

This is one of the most beautiful green shades out in nail lacquer right now. In fact, I'm going to call it THE most beautiful green. It's one of China Glaze's famous sparkly, almost but not quite glittery shades -- a la their famous Wizard of Ooh Ahz collection. I will let the pictures speak for themselves:





Beautiful. Anyone else out there loving greens? This is one of the only greens I like on me!

NOTD: China Glaze Rodeo Fanatic

This is one of the colors I got in a mass China Glaze haul a few months ago, and I only got around to wearing it this week. It's from their Fall 2008 collection and I LOVE IT. Great quality and check out this color! Gorgeous, and rumored to be a dupe of the HTF MAC Whirlwind.

NOTD: China Glaze Shower Together

What I used:
Creative Nail Design Super Shine Top Coat
China Glaze Shower Together
Seche Clear crystal clear base coat

I LOVE this color! I dont' know why--must be because I love blue, then I love teal...this is one amazing color! Even though it was part of the 2008 Spring China Glaze Ecollection, you can still get it at H2T for 2.99 (dang cheap!)

Haul: Head2Toe Beauty and Trade Secret

I went crazy this weekend, buying so many nail polishes! What can I say, I'm on a China Glaze kick!

What do you think?

NOTD: China Glaze Awaken

I got this some days ago, and (of course) wore it!

I used:
China Glaze Awaken (Romantique collection)
and on the middle fingers, ORLY Shine On Crazy Diamond top coats.

The second picture seems to be more accurate colorwise!

Haul: Nail Polish Gifts

Recently one of my friends just gave me these four polishes for no reason at all! While I know I can't wear that highlighter yellow, I can't wait to try the other three.

Gunmetal: China Glaze Awaken
Yellow: China Glaze Celtic Sun (neon)
Purple: Sinful Kismet Elated
Glitter: Orly Shine On Crazy Diamond

Hopefully I will get the chance to use Awaken as soon as my nails grow out to a decent length!
