If you’ve checked out your local beauty-supply stores, you may have already seen the China Glaze On the Horizon Collection on the shelves.
On the Horizon features a feathered finish that is achieved by a dense formulation of short, multicoloured bar glitter.
Although I’ve seen other brands come out with their version of the feathered finish, I’ve never tried any, so I may need to buy at least one to see how I like it.
The ones that catch my attention the most are You’re a Hoot (Hehe, I’m an owl fan, so this is a must-have!), Party Fowl (blue, orange, and black sounds like a dramatic combination), and Flock Together (the green, blue, and black combination sounds fun to wear).
The following official press release was sent to me by China Glaze’s PR:
CHINA GLAZE
BIRDS OF A FEATHER FLOCK TOGETHER

Do the China Glaze On the Horizon shades put the wind beneath your wings? Have you tried the feathered finish? (If so, what are your thoughts?) Which of these 6 China Glaze nail polishes interest you the most?
I just ordered a bunch of feathered nail polish from a different brand- I usually don’t like bar glitter, but this look intrigued me enough to give it a shot. Looking forward to seeing your swatches!

Hey Fedoraharp!
I like bar glitter, but more so when it’s short and dense like these seem to be. 🙂 We’ll see how they fare!
Ooh so pretty! “All A flutter” is really pretty. Going to look for it today!
Hey Martiej!
Please let me know your thoughts after you’ve tried one. I’ve heard a lot of people saying they don’t like the feathered-nail trend, but I still want to try it. It looks fun to me!
I. Need. All. Of. These! Except flying south because I have one just like it from Nails Inc. Other than that, I’m getting the rest of them. So excited!!

Hey Lizzy!
I haven’t tried any of the Nails Inc. ones, but I wanted to. Guess I’ll try the China Glaze first. 🙂 I’m really excited, too!
I’d really like to have all of them but I think Party Fowl is the one I’d try first if you know what I mean. 😉 Sad part is that my studies are over and I haven’t got a job yet and I think I must wait with polish purchases until I see some kind of income in sight. I have savings but this is a good opportunity to try my untried polishes in the stash. 😉

Hey Gelic’ Nail Art!
Hehe, “Party Fowl” has such a funny name. I picture a bird wearing a party hat and blowing one of those paper horns. 😉
I’m proud of you for being financially responsible. 🙂 Nail polish will always be here, and it’s never worth it to go into debt. I hope that you find a great job after graduating. All the best – you have a great attitude!
These polishes are interesting, I can’t wait to see them in person! I like Flock Together the best, and will probably be picking these up. I like the feathered look and I think ChG will end up being the most affordable brand for me to try this look with!
