China Glaze Sealed With A Kiss Collection Part 1 Bottles

China Glaze Seal With A Kiss Collection is a special set of three polishes and a lipgloss, I'm not 100% sure when this set was released, but I'm sure it's pretty recent. I will be posting individual reviews of each polish and the lip gloss, but first up here's the set:


The Polishes from left to right are:
Trophy Wife - pale peach/pink with shimmer
Long Kiss - metallic crimson red
Drastic - blood red jelly

The Free Lipgloss is a gorgeous nude packed with shimmer, and looks like it's intended to be worn alongside Trophy Wife, as it has a similar colour/effect. This was $11.97 from Nailetc.com, which I think is amazing value! :) The one thing that amuses me though is the fact the lipstick and polish pictured on the packaging aren't anything like the colours you get in the set :) Individual swatches and review to follow!

Essie Resort Fair Game Collection - Part 4 Fair Game

Next up from the 2011 Essie Resort Collection is Fair game:


Fair Game is definitely the standout shade from this collection. It's a teal toned gunmetal grey shade packed with gorgeous micro shimmer, you'll have to click the photos to see how stunning the shimmer in this shade really is. Application was yet again brilliant, and full opacity at 2 coats :) I feel I've been a bit spoilt by this collection :)




I'm really loving Essie's Resort Collection this year, all four colours are unique and alluring in their own way. The formula on these is by far the best I've seen from Essie so far, I truly hope they stick to this :D

Essie Resort Fair Game Collection - Part 3 Da Bush

Next up from Essie Resort Collection 2011 is Da Bush:


Da Bush is a pale khaki green shade with a glossy creme finish. Like all the polishes in this collection, the formula is awesome, fully opaque in 2 coats. Another winner from this lovely collection!


When I applied this polish it instantly reminded me of OPIs Stranger Tides (from the Pirates of The Caribbean Collection), Da Bush is a slightly more saturated shade, so I wouldn't call it a dupe, here's a photo for comparison: you can click on the photo to view the original post:
