It’s a bird! It’s a plane! Nope, it’s time flying by!
I can’t believe that soon it’ll be Hallowe’en in a few days and that Christmas is peeking at us from around the corner!
To get you in the festive spirit, today I’m blogging about the China Glaze Happy HoliGlaze Collection, which will be hitting stores in November.
I received the press release just yesterday evening – hehe, so it’s hot off the press! 😉 Enjoy!
I’m looking forward to wearing many of the shades in this collection. The glitters look so blingy and perfect for Christmas, and the idea of a white-textured nail polish to mimic snow sounds very intriguing!
The colours that stand out the most to me are This Is Tree-mendous (greeen fieeend here!), Your Present Required, There’s Snow One Like You, and Put a Bow on It.
Based on these promo pictures, which are your top picks that pique your curiosity?

This collection really channels Christmas, and I think that there’s something for everyone from the traditionalist to the daring experimenter!
What are the shades (or sets) that interest you the most? If you could design your own nail polish for the holidays, what would it look like? Have you ever given a nail-polish gift set for a Christmas/holiday present?
(I once gave the entire China Glaze Wizard of Ooh-Ahs 6-piece set for a Kris Kringle at my workplace. The recipient wasn’t a nailphile, but it was a huge hit, and she started wearing nail polish more often. Hehe, so maybe a nailphile in the making?) 😉
I am SO stalking Sally’s til I get This is Tree-mendous! The collection is lovely, but that green (drools) is a real standout.
Hey Karen!
Hehe, as a fellow green fiend, I think that shade is twinkletastic!
Now I must go and mop the floor, lest other nailphiles slip over our drool. 😉
Lovely collection! I’m planning on ordering ‘So Blue Without You’ and ‘Just Be-Claws’. 😀
Hey Renee!
Good choices, and I hope you’ll have fun wearing them this holiday season (or anytime)!
Call me the grinch that stole christmas .
But I think those polishes are a little bit to Merry for me. But I have to admit that the gifts are kind of nice. Maybe after swatches I will change my mind but I really doubt it.
Hey Icequeen81 (or Grinch…hehe!)
I can never see a holiday collection as being too merry. Hehe, my name IS Mary, after all! 😉
Even if none of these float your boat, the silver lining is that you’ll save money, which is always a good thing.
indeed, I have one from 2 years ago it is called velvet bow, I was also and I am still looking for that christmas green they had few years ago.
Are you referring to Emerald Sparkle? I remember that one from 2008 that was very popular and had 2 versions. There also was another great green from not long ago called Winter Holly!
I LOVE these colors. I know that I’m going to break the bank buying all of these, but it’ll be worth it! LOL
Hey Melissa!
Haha, go easy on that bank, okay? What did it ever do to you? 😉 Haha! Oh, what am I saying? *Hands you a hammer* SMASH IT TO KINGDOM COME! (Serious Note: I promote responsible nail-polish buying habits.)
We in Serbia already have this collection in our shops 😉
I bought Snow buddy gift set, it’s sooo adorable! <3
And apart from that, I bought All wrapped up, Put a bow on it and Mingle with kringle 🙂
Hey Baby!
(Hehe, it makes me giggle addressing my reply as “Hey Baby!” I sound like I’m hitting on you!)
So cool that Serbia already has these polishes! Do you normally get collections earlier over there?
I want them all!
Hey Maddy!
Christmas collections really make it tough to choose just a few, don’t they?
