China Glaze Color Is Magic “My Little Pony” Collection.

This collection consists of:

• 5  creme/crelly’s
• 2 shimmers (these may be hidden, I’ll know more once I swatch for real and add topcoat). One of the shimmers is a neon that dries matte
• 1 linear holographic!!
• 2 sheer shimmer toppers. 1 of them is a duo chrome
• 2 jelly based glitter bombs

 

My first thoughts from swatching on the wheel:

• The creme/crellys have great formulas. They did not seem to be streaky or difficult to apply. Some of them were also pretty opaque even at just one coat.
• The possible hidden shimmers also seem really easy to apply. The aqua one may be a one coater even. The bright, neon pink may be one of my favorites from the collection!
• The silver linear holographic! I’m just so happy to see a holographic polish from a mainstream company again! This seems much more holo than say the China Glaze Hologlam Collection from a few years ago, but maybe not as holo as the old OMG Collection. I will try to do a comparison of the three of those when I do my swatches.
• The sheer shimmer toppers. I don’t think these will build up to be opaque, but maybe the white/golden one would if you don’t mind some visible nail line. The blue/purple is a duo chrome. It is very sheer and will need to be layered. It looks gorgeous though!!
• The jelly glitters were kind of syrup-y. I added a bit of clear nail polish after doing my swatch wheel, so when I do the actual swatches I will see if that made any difference. They are packed with glitter so may be a bit tougher to remove as well.

Of course swatching on a swatch wheel and painting actual finger nails can be much different. I will update my thoughts as needed when I get to the actual post in a few days.

I swatched two coats of each color on a clear swatch wheel. Here’s a look at that in various lighting.
