I made a trip into Ulta last week and found a couple of the China Glaze Holiday polishes on clearance. I actually wanted a lot of the collection but could not find them anywhere. Luckily one of the polishes I found was one that I had really been wanting and it was Don’t Get Elfed Up.

  
Don’t Get Elfed up is a dark, blackened teal base with a brighter teal micro-glitter running through it. I found the formula on this polish to be super runny. I definitely had to make sure that I cleaned the brush off well or I would be flooding the nail with too much polish. It goes on very sheer on the first coat but it built up to full opacity in two coats.

  
I really do love the shade of this polish and find it to be quite unique. The formula was not the best on this polish but it is definitely something I can work with. If you can find this polish, I do recommend picking it up.

I picked up another polish from the China Glaze fall collection when I purchased the Zoya fall collection and this one is totally different than the last two polishes I shared. Change Your Altitude is one of those greige colors that I go nuts over. I probably have a million different polishes like this one and yet I just cannot stop purchasing and wearing them.

  
Unfortunately, the formula on this one was not the best. It was a really runny polish. You need to be extra careful to make sure you clean your brush off well before painting the nail because the brush will pick up entirely too much polish and then it will flood your nail and wreak havoc. Because of that, some of my nails were actually opaque in one coat but I ended up doing 2 coats to even all of my nails out. The polish is definitely opaque and does not streak when applying. It evens itself out nicely. Once you figure out how runny this polish is and you clean the brush off really well, it isn’t too hard to work with.

  
I do love the shade of this polish. I am such a sucker for these greige shades and this one is no exception. The formula on this one is not the best, but it’s not the worst either. If you are interested in this shade, I do think it is worth picking up.

It is official. I am so into fall nail colors already and it’s only the middle of August. I have been very intrigued by the Essie and China Glaze fall collection but was so disappointed in the OPI Venice collection. The polish I have to share with you today is Wood You Wanna? from the China Glaze fall collection.

  
Okay, my friends, you need this polish. This baby right here is a one coater. You heard that right. ONE COATER. And for it to be fully opaque in one coat, it is not thick at all. It is super easy to work with and it self levels beautifully. I honestly do not have a single bad thing to say about this polish. It does not streak or show brush strokes. China Glaze has never been my favorite nail polish brand but their past few collections have had great colors with great formulas. I love the plummy brown shade with the silver shimmer. It reminds me of an Ulta eye shadow that I have and love named Twilight.

  
This polish is definitely going to be a new go-to for me. I absolutely love the shade and this formula cannot be beat. I will definitely go back to Sally’s and see if there are any more shades from this collection that I am interested in. The collection just released and the display already appeared to be well picked through, but thankfully the one polish I really wanted was still in stock. Definitely keep an eye out for this collection and definitely pick this polish up!

After wearing such classic and neutral shades, I was craving something totally different on my nails. I wanted to wear something bright and in your face. What better polish choice to make than a China Glaze Neon? I am not the biggest fan of China Glaze, but they always amazing neons. This polish in particular is Red-y to Rave from this summer’s neon collection. The name of this polish is very misleading to me. There is no red in this polish whatsoever; it is a straight up neon orange. I had a really hard time getting this polish to photograph and none of my pictures are really true to color unfortunately. I have gotten a ton of compliments on this polish.

  
(Comparing this polish to red to show how it is not red and I just had to show off my Captain America keychain)

  
The finish of this is not my favorite. It is a crelly (meaning it is a hybrid of a creme and jelly finish). I would much more prefer for this polish to be a basic creme finish. The formula on this is a bit of a pain as well. I only had to go 2 coats of it, but this polish was so runny. You need to make sure you clean the brush and stem off really well before going to paint the nail or the polish will run everywhere. I am not someone who usually does a white base unless I am doing nail art, but I think this polish could benefit from a white base; it might help get rid of that crelly finish and make it appear more of like a creme and even more neon.

  
  
This polish is definitely a true neon. It is bright and in your face and I love that about this polish. Despite not being a huge fan of the finish and the not so perfect formula, this is a really beautiful polish and was definitely worth the little bit of extra effort to get it to apply nicely. Definitely recommend checking this out before it is too late to find it.

As I have previously mentioned, neon and bright nails has been an obsession for me lately. The China Glaze Electric Nights collection came out about a month ago and I picked up several of the polishes. This one here is called Go With The Flow. Glow With The Flow is not what I would describe as a neon pink, but it is most certainly a bright pink (it looks more neon in my pictures than it does in real life).

  
I was unsure of how I felt about this polish at first. It seems to have almost a crelly formula-meaning that it is a hybrid of an opaque cream polish and a sheer jelly polish. It almost looks squishy. I tend to be more of a cream formula person and tend to not like jelly formulas. I actually got several compliments while wearing this polish. The formula on this polish was great. It only took 2 coats and went on super smooth. The longer that I have this polish on, the more that I start to like it. Although the color would not seem to be very unique, the crelly finish of this polish makes it unique and very interesting on the nail. I have loved all of the colors that I have worn from this collection so far and I highly recommend this polish.
