China Glaze Holiday Joy Swatches & Review - Part 1

Hey all! Did you see my Happy Hands Review Yesterday? Gorgeous!
And if that didn't put you in the Holiday spirit then maybe these will!
I just love Holiday Collections! I just wish I could get them all!

Today's Post is half of the China Glaze Holiday Joy Winter Collection.

(L-R) Merry Berry, Cranberry Splash, Red Satin, With Love, Pure Joy, & Champagne Kisses.

Merry Berry
a deep berry creme

Opaque in two coats and dries very shiny.
Easy formula, applies evenly.

Cranberry Splash
a medium red shimmer.

Only requires two coats for opacity, and applies well.
Very pretty glowing polish, but I just don't love it on me. Great for the Holiday's though!
Mostly due to my slightly bumpy nails. (I can't wait for them to be completely normal again!)

Red Satin
a blue based red creme, although I consider this more of a crelly.

I used two coats for opacity. Amazing formula and was super easy to apply.
I love this, it is still thin enough for jelly sammys ;) Which you will see in tomorrow's post!

With Lovea bright orange based red creme.

Possibly my new favorite red creme..
Definitely in my top three with Cult Nails Evil Queen and China Glaze Poinsettia.
Formula is like a dream and it is opaque in two coats.

Pure Joy
a red and gold glitter topper, with red micro glitter and small gold hex.

I layered Pure Joy over Merry Berry.
I should have added another coat, but a great combo regardless!
It doesn't disperse amazingly easy, but it isn't difficult to apply.

Champagne Kisses
Consists of fine rose gold micro glitter

I paired Champagne Kisses with Deborah Lippmann Naked. I used two coats.
I have heard this one being thick for others but next to the similar polishes in this collection it felt thin to me.
It applies very evenly and I have nothing like it in my stash!

Which is your favorite(s) of these six?
Even though it is a pretty typical red creme I just love With Love,
I see myself using it a ton in the future!
