China Glaze Up & Away Collection: Heli-Yum
China Glaze Heli-Yum Nail Lacquer is a vibrant, deeply pigmented pinky-red.; It's not the scarlet red we've seen over and over again for the holiday season -- it's marked by a lot of raspberry pink. It's one of the deeper...

China Glaze Up & Away Collection: Sugar High
China Glaze Sugar High Nail Lacquer is a vibrant medium pink with a coral kick creme. When I swatched it, I saw a fair amount of coral in it, so I wouldn't classify it as a hot pink at all. It does have the brightness...

China Glaze Up & Away Collection: High Hopes Nail Lacquer
China Glaze Up & Away Collection: High Hopes
China Glaze High Hopes Nail Lacquer is a bright orange-red creme. It's almost like a really, really intense orange-coral with kind of a red flare to it. It's definitely not "construction orange" nor is it a summery...

China Glaze Up & Away Collection: Peachykeen
China Glaze Peachykeen Nail Lacquer is a brightened up peachy-orange creme. It's distinctly orange, but it has enough lightness to give it a peachier feel. It's really like an apricot to me, actually. You could call it...

China Glaze Up & Away Collection: Lemon Fizz
China Glaze Lemon Fizz Nail Lacquer is a spring-y daffodil yellow. It's pale and pastel, but there's a little warmth there to keep it from being too cool or dull. There's even a brightness--maybe the optimism of spring...

I do and I don't. Sometimes mattes are harder to work with, and I always feel a little unfinished without a glossy coat on my lips. I like mattes *most* on eyes, because I like them in the crease or for a more...

China Glaze Re-Fresh Mint Nail Lacquer is a minty pastel green creme. This was one of the smoother, easier to apply light cremes from this collection. The finished look is definitely lovely, and even though it's...

China Glaze Up & Away Collection: Happy Go Lucky
China Glaze Happy Go Lucky Nail Lacquer is a bright, sunshine yellow creme. It goes on opaque in just one or two layers, and it really does look quite cheery. This is nearly neon, but not quite, and it's...

China Glaze Up & Away Collection: Light As Air Nail Lacquer
China Glaze Up & Away Collection: Light As Air
China Glaze Light As Air Nail Lacquer is is a subdued lilac with a pastel edge and maybe a little mix of gray in it. It's definitely more of a lilac shade than a gray shade, though it may photograph either way,...

China Glaze Up & Away Collection: Grape Pop
China Glaze Grape Pop Nail Lacquer is a deep, grayed-down red-based purple. It's dark, but it's not actually as bright/vibrant as pictured. (I ended up with about eighty photos and these were the closest to in-real-life...

I love glitter, period. It's fun! I'd love to see more eye-safe glitters, but I do prefer wearing glitter on my nails or in lipgloss.

China Glaze Up & Away Collection: Four Leaf Clover
China Glaze Four Leaf Clover Nail Lacquer is a richly pigmented, semi-deep green-based teal. Both the way it looks in real life and in the bottle is very, very green and not that teal - but it's obvious that...

China Glaze Up & Away Collection: Flyin' High
China Glaze Flyin' High Nail Lacquer is an opaque, sky blue creme with a slight teal undertone -- it can easily photograph more on the teal side, while it's quite obviously blue. I'd also say it's a little deeper than...

China Glaze Something Sweet Nail Lacquer is a soft, baby girl pink with just a smidgen of lilac creme polish. It's just pink enough to have color, but it's still fairly pale and pastel, thus...
