China Glaze The Grinch Collection- Holiday 2018

Hello everyone! It's that time of year again when all the glittery Christmas colored polishes come out, today we will be taking a look at the Holiday collection from China Glaze The Grinch collection. This collection is based on the new animated movie The Grinch, this collection has a lot of glitters, some traditional Christmas colors and a few polish colors that don't seem Christmas like, but still fit in with the theme.

This collection has eight polishes; with five glitters, and two shimmers and a iridescent polish. Their are no cremes in this collection, which I don't mind, my favorite finish of nail polish is Holographic, glitter and shimmer, so this collection is just what I like. 

Also I did purcahse the mini set from Sally Beauty, these polishes are also available in full size and individual minis as well. 

Lately China Glaze has just not been doing it for me, I have been disappointed with their recent polishes, I really have not liked their matte finish polishes and the holo polish applied and wore horrible for me. So let's see if this collection is any better. 

*For this collection and most collection, I often will try and wear all of the polishes at once because I like to wear my polishes all week and it would take a long time to wear all of the polishes at once a do a review that way.*

  China glaze- Grinch- Grinchworthy on the thumb nail

Let's start off with Grinchworthy, this is a bright green glittery polish, with a lighter green glitter base and some darker green glitter in it. This applied well in three coats for me.

 China glaze- Grinch- Resting Grinch Face on the pinky nail

Next we have Resting Grinch Face, this is a rainbow/ holiday colored glitter topper, with a clear base and small and large red, green, blue, sliver, and gold glitters.For this polish  on it's own I applied three coats.
In the photo above I wore this on it own just to show it with out a base colored polish, But I did like this better over a polish color.

 China glaze- Grinch- Resting Grinch Face over Grinchworthy

Here is Resting Grinch Face over Grinchworthy, I think it looks better over a polish as a topper then by it's self. The way I wore it in the photo above looks like a Christmas tree, which look really cool and pretty.

 China glaze - Grinch- Who Wonder on the middle finger nail

Who Wonder is a bright pink shimmer polish, this one seemed a little out of place for a Holiday/ Christmas collection because it seems like a bright summer polish, but when it comes to a Grinch collection polish it seems to actually work. This polish applied well again in two coats.

 China glaze- Grinch- You're a Mean One on the middle finger nail
 
You're a Mean One is a deep wine purple shimmer polish, this one also seem a little out of place for a Christmas/ Holiday polish, but once again seems to work for the Grinch theme. This polish applied smooth in two coats.

China glaze- Grinch- Lukewarm Wishes

Lukewarm Wishes is a frosted sheer iridescent polish with a blue shift to it. This polish was very sheer, I applied three coats for the photo above and you can still see the nail line some. This is another polish that I did not like on it's own and I thought it looked better as a topper, I personally don't like these types of polishes on their own, the sheer, white polishes.

China glaze- Grinch- Lukewarm Wishes over Who Wonder on the index nail.

Here is Lukewarm Wishes over Who Wonder (the pink polish), I think it looks better this way then on it's own, in the photo I feel like you can see the blue shift more over the pink polish.

 China glaze- Grinch- Merry Whatever on the ring finger nail

Lastly we have Merry Whatever this is a gold glitter polish with some small holo and gold glitter pieces in it. This applied well in three coats, it was a little bit sheer for me but it built up pretty easily.

In conclusion I did really like this collection the polishes applied very well and wore well too. Also they are all finishes that I really like. I am glad that this collection did not disappoint. Out of all of the polishes actually the green polish Grinchworthy was my favorite, and I really like it with the rainbow glitter polish Resting Grinch Face. My secound favorite was the frosted blue polish Deliciously Wicked.
