China Glaze: Touch of Twinkle Set

Good morning!  I've been super out of it with everything regarding Christmas this year, with all my time being occupied by Nutcracker rehearsals and shows.  I haven't really been able to keep up with all the polish news and new collections, so I was excited when I was contacted by Nail Polish Canada to showcase one of the trios from the new China Glaze Happy Holi-Glaze collection!  This set consists of three polishes: Santa Red My List, Be Merry, Be Bright, and Just Be-Claus.  Let's take a look at the Touch of Twinkle trio!


Santa Red My List is, contrary to what the name suggests, not red at all.  In fact, it's a stunning deep but bright metallic pink foil with full coverage in just one coat!  Application was a bit on the thick side, but the one-coat-formula makes up for that.  Topped with one coat of LaCC 2013 top coat.  



I'm generally not a huge fan of bright pink polishes... But personal preferences aside, this is a super awesome polish!  The colour is so vibrant, and the foil finish really is gorgeous.  



Be Merry, Be Bright is a pink and purple hex glitter topper in a clear base.  Here I've layered one coat over Santa Red My List, and topped it with one coat of Essence Gel Look top coat.  The formula required a bit of extra work to get even coverage, but nothing too troublesome.



Not your typical holiday colours, but a cute and festive glitter topper nonetheless!  Also appropriate for year-round use, which is an awesome bonus!  The following two photos are in the light box.

Just Be-Claus is a stunning bright red with a glowy depth to it.  Two easy coats for full coverage, topped with one coat of Seche Vite.  



I absolutely love this red, it's so perfect for the holidays!!  The shimmer is so amazing and the polish glows from within; so beautiful and festive! 



You can purchase this trio and the rest of the China Glaze Happy Holi-Glaze collection through Nail Polish Canada here, which is currently offering free shipping Canada-wide! :)

While Santa Red My List and Be Merry, Be Bright don't really appeal to my personal taste too much, they're both super fun polishes!  Just Be-Claus is obviously my favourite of the trio, a perfect holiday red! Which one is your favourite? :)
