Holidays Are Coming!

China_Glaze_Holiday_2011_set

Okay... maybe they aren't just yet! But all this week I have been in quite a Christmassy mood, ever since these babies arrived! 

Each year out of all the nail polish sets, from Orly to OPI, I go for a China Glaze Holiday set as I love the shades and of course their cute festive names. But this year I decided to get a mini set as they are cheaper and I know I won't use all of the shades after Christmas... which is why I sold the set I got last year as the full sized bottles never got used! 

I don't actually know where the China Glaze sets can be bought from in the UK, so I always buy them from eBay - This set can be found here for £14.50 inc p&p and is a UK seller so no waiting ages.

The Santa's Little Helpers set contains 4 x 9.6ml polishes in...
Tinsel Town, Icicle, Ring in the Red and Velvet Bow. 

My absolute favourite out of the 4 polishes is Tinsel Town, which I know I will wear a lot and not just in December... it is so sparkly but in such a wonderful gunmetal shade - this alone was worth buying the set for! My next equal favourites are Ring in the Red for being so red and glittery and Icicle because it reminds me of silver wrapping paper..... oh it's making me wish it was December already. 

Did I tell you I'm a massive lover of Christmas?!

But sadly it isn't the holiday season just yet, but I'm still wanting to wear some of the polishes. So this was what I was wearing on my nails before I had my little fingers caught in the drawer accident!

Ring in the Red is quite an opaque glitter polish so I decided to just paint one thin coat over Zoya Jem and I kind of think it looks a bit Halloween meets Christmas! It's a bit two tone and slightly dark but with that little glimpse that Christmas will soon be upon us!

I really can't wait to show you what Tinsel Town looks like on the nails as it's just so pretty and oh so sparkly! 

So pleased that I got this set. 

Fee xo.

i love mini sets, i think you get to try more colours for the same price as a whole bottle (esp with opi, essie etc), plus if there is one you really love you can just buy that full size instead of buying them all and never using them... plus who ever finishes a bottle anyway hehe. these are quite big, most minis are 5ml and the opi ones are 3.75 so these are nearly a full size... :D xx
oooh they're soo pretty!! love them! x x
Beautiful colours! They say they're mini sized but hey, 9.6 ml is like a regular high-street nail polish!
They're such beautiful polishes, but I can never bring myself to spend more than £4 on a nail polish! x
Omg, I need these in my life! I hope they'll sell them here in my country.

haha it's okay :) x
You can buy China Glaze at Sally's but thats like the only place I have seen them in the UK!
I absolutely love the red glittery one! It reminds me a lot of Barry M's Red Glitter so I maybe I should buy that one and save money? xxx
Love those colours, especially the glittery red! I can't wait for Christmas either!!!
Omg icicle! Wonder where you can see these in store? Your blog has been enabling me like mad recently!
