China Glaze - Mistletoe Kisses

Hello, sparkling glints of snow! In efforts to stay on a somewhat consistent blogging schedule, I decided I'd continue to do more Winter/Christmas themed posts from here on out (hence the new blog theme!). Today's post will be about a holiday-themed nail polish by China Glaze called Mistletoe Kisses. In the past, China Glaze has released some of my absolute favorite nail polishes during the holidays. Sadly, this year's collection was really disappointing to me. In fact, I haven't even found one holiday-themed nail polish from any brand that I found worth purchasing this year. But all's well that ends well- I just searched my nail polish drawers to find some lovely gems from previous releases.

Mistletoe Kisses was released in 2010. It is from China Glaze's 'Tis The Season holiday collection, and it's still available on Amazon for pretty cheap. Since I bought mine the year it was released, it needed some nail polish thinner (as it got thick from time), but I happily obliged to its needs. This polish is an absolute dream to work with. It goes on smoothly and without a fuss. It is opaque enough for full coverage in 2-3 coats, but I used three coats in the second picture below.

The silver glitter in this nailpolish reminds me of a Christmas tree with tinsel, it's just so lovely! I have a couple other colors I purchased when this collection came out in 2010, so I'll keep you guys updated when I do use them! Until next time, take care and thanks for reading!

The elusive China Glaze Party Hearty!

Hello there! It's been cold outside (which is saying a lot, because I reside in a desert that seems to be sweltering 85% of the year), and I guess the weather has instantly made me in the mood for Christmas. We got some classic Christmas lights for the new house we're renting. I am super excited, as there wasn't much we could do to decorate when we lived in the apartment. I also got some candy cane rope lights, so those should be fun!

Another Christmasy thing I did was paint my nails Party Hearty from the China Glaze 2010 holiday collection. I have held onto this polish with my dear life, as it was extremely hard to find! I've also babied it with polish thinner. It's seriously one of my absolute favorite nail polishes, and I am so grateful and lucky I was able to find it. All the beauty stores were sold out (even the gift sets had been stripped of Party Hearty- WTF?!), but I happened to stumble in Sally's beauty supply one afternoon- and ONE Party Hearty had been restocked. The Angels sang from heaven, and I bought that lovely, elusive bottle of polish before it was gone (which would have been not much later than that second, I'm sure). So, that's my story, and here's the polish! It really IS Christmas in a bottle!
