Today I have for you one of the most exciting collections for this fall - the China Glaze Vintage Vixen Collection! Every year it is the same with me. I can´t wait for their fall collections because they always come with such pretty shades. Remember the Rodeo Diva Collection from 2008? Well that is my favourite nail polish collection ever :) So lets have a look at the newest one.
The collection is inspired by the 40s. The official description says: "For Fall 2010, the China Glaze Vintage Vixen Collection captures the vivid and saturated hues of the 1940’s with this seductively complex palette. These classic shades of the season recreate the timeless tableau of movie land mystique, perfect red pouts and steamy nights where swing was the scene!"
What a great era to be inspired with! Again, this collections has a total of twelve shades that come in two sets. Of course the polishes can be bought separately. Here they are:
The swatches are all without a base or top coat and are in natural daylight (no sun or lightbox).You can watch my video of the collection here.
JITTERBUG
A beautiful black/grey foil metallic. It shines so much, looks like a shiny stone. One of my favourites. Two coats.
BOGIE
It is always hard to say which shade from a collection is the best for me but I think it is this one. Love at first sight. Not only is the shade really beautiful but the application was flawless and it is very richly pigmented. One coat could have been just fine, I did two. Get this one!
HEY DOLL
The name and the shade make this polish so girly. It is soft and elegant but still not boring for me. Great color for fall. Two coats again here.
FOXY
This is such a beautiful fall shade. Reminds me of the falling leaves. Red with golden shimmer. Two coats.
INGRID
Another contribution to the taupe trend and a very pretty one! It has very soft golden shimmer. Two coats.
SWING BABY
The second foil of the collection. This time it is a champagne. The only polish from the whole collection I used three coats.
GOIN' MY WAY?
Warm metallic bronze. Very pretty and very well pigmented. Can´t wait to do a full mani with this one when fall comes. Two coats.
RIVETER ROUGE
Bright red with silver micro glitter. As with all the swatches this is without a top coat which you might want to use to sooth down the rough surface. Two coats.
CLASSIC CAMEL
The name says it all. First thing that comes to my mind when i look at this polish is a camel. I think this is the most unique color of the whole collection. I really like the golden flecks it has. This color will not suit all skin tones though. Two coats.
EMERALD FITZGERALD
One of my favourites. A beautiful green that leans to the blue side. What else could I want? Just look at the depth of the polish. Two coats.
MIDNIGHT MISSION
Like a starry sky. Beautiful glossy blue with silver glitter. The glitter is very soft and easy to remove. So so pretty!! Two coats.
FIRST CLASS TICKET
What fall collection would it be without a purple! And what a beautiful one. Dark but not too much. A bit more to the blue side but it still is purple. I saw some pictures of it looking almost blue but it isn´t. Love the depth of this one.
Well this is it. All twelve of the polishes from the Vintage Vixen Collection which should launch in July 2010. I really like the choice of colors and the formula on most of these. They were all but one two coaters and I didn´t have any major application problems. It will sound crazy but I can´t wait for fall to come! :)
Let me know what you think about the collection? Any must haves?
