I don't know about you, but I think it's so refreshing that China Glaze decided against the clichéd Valentine's Day color palette. If I see one more brand pushing red and pink foil hearts floating in a bottle of clear lacquer, I'm going to scream.
As the name implies, these shades are romantic and whimsical, but the chrometastic finish gives them edge. The formula is pigment-rich, so you really only need one coat; however, metallics tend to highlight every ridge in the nail, so you would be smart to buff and/or apply a base coat, pre-polish.
My current faves are Magical and Joy. Speaking of Joy, I'd better keep this one away from Mama Spoiled Pretty (also named Joy) before she starts begging. Mom loves a purple polish, and she somehow manages to relieve me of almost every plum, grape and eggplanty shade that comes into my possession. But she did "bring me into this world" and "never let me want for anything" - so I suppose I
could share.
While we're on the topic of sharing...I'm pleased to announce that this week, Spoiled Pretty is teaming up with China Glaze for a romantical giveaway. Two sets of Romantique are up for grabs!!!
