Hello loves!!

Here with a gigantic post and a gigantic giveaway courtesy of China Glaze. First of all showing you China Glaze Happy HoliGlaze collection which includes 12 polishes plus a travel size color top coat which is stunning! And then, a giveaway (enter via rafflecopter at end of review) for FIVE full sets to be won by five lucky readers! Let's get started! 

China Glaze Just Be-Claws with Travel In Colour top coat.

 China Glaze Just Be-Claws - a beautiful red foil. Just about a one coat wonder! Really great formula! I have on 2 coats here but with careful application you can get away with one coat!

OK, how beautiful is this? China Glaze Just Be-Claws (2 coats) with China Glaze Travel in Colour (1 coat) on top ::angels sing::

China Glaze So Blue Without You - a bright blue foil, two coats here, but all the foils in this collection have an amazing formula and could be one coaters. I LOVE ONE COAT WONDERS :)

China Glaze So Blue Without You with China Glaze Travel in Colour top coat, looks amazing, right?

China Glaze Mingle With Kringle - a lovely gold foil. This is the only foil in the collection that actually needed 2 coats for opacity (others were good at one coat!)

China Glaze Mingle With Kringle with one coat China Glaze Be Merry, Be Bright - a multi-magenta purple glitter top coat. Great formula, applies easily.

China Glaze Elfin' Around - a red rust foil. Another perfect formula. A nice take on a different shade of red for the holidays.

China Glaze Elfin' Around with China Glaze Bells Will Be Blinging top coat - a blue and gold multi color and multi shaped glitter.

China Glaze Santa Red My List - a pink/red foil. Ack! I die! In love with this one :) Have I mentioned the formula? I know, I have but saying it again. These foils are amazing, full of pigment, easy application, one coat!

China Glaze Santa Red My List with China Glaze Your Present Required - a multi colored multi sized glitter. This glitter topped really found it's way into my glitter spot. I will admit, I've been craving simple cremes and easy foils and slight shimmers these days to the all out glitter fest. But I just love this one with it's multi sized white matte glitters making it pop.

China Glaze All Wrapped Up - a midnight blue and purple glitter. Two coats here. Easy application and another great formula! The next three glitters are so sparkly!

China Glaze Put a Bow On It - a magenta glitter. Oh yeah. Love it. Again, opaque in 2 coats, great formula.

China Glaze This is Tree-mendous - a green with fine gold glitter. Two coats here, and feels very seasonal :)

China Glaze Texture There's Snow One Like You - a limited edition white texture with white matte glitter. I've seen swatches of this that make it look, well, frankly unwearable. I chose to use one coat layered over one coat of white. Yes, I like it. Actually, I really like it! It feels a bit rougher and chunkier than I like, rougher than the other textures I've tried so far. So, I wouldn't wear it for an extended time. But many of us polish nuts don't keep a manicure on for long anyway. So I'd for sure rock this for a day or a special event. And of course, it would make awesome snow for nail art!
