Holiday 2017 Comparisons - Zoya Landon (Party Girls) - Part 1

From left to right: Tina (Charming, Spring 2017), Lois (Wanderlust, Summer 2017), After the Glow (Sunrise Sunset, Summer 2017), Audrina (Gossip, Summer 2008), Pamplona Purple (Spain, Autumn 2009), Landon, Dawn of a New Reign (Street Regal, Autumn 2017), Purple Haze (Star Power, Autumn 2017), O Suzi Mio (Venice, Autumn 2015), Margarita (Black Magic, August 2014), Karina (Neon Nights, July 2017), Queen B (Autumn Nights, Autumn 2013), All Access Pass (Neons 2015)

Landon is sort of on the bridge between the light purples and the dark purples here. It errs towards the lights but it is the darkest. I think if you dropped a bit of Dawn of a New Reign into Pamplona Purple you’d get Landon.

Autumn 2017 Comparisons - China Glaze Dawn of a New Reign

From left to right: Lidia (Focus, Autumn 2015), Monica (Designer, Autumn 2012), A Grape Affair (Coca Cola, Summer 2014), Purple Haze (Star Power, Autumn 2017), Grape Pop (Up & Away, Spring 2010), Mix and Mingle (Cheers! Holiday 2015), Sylvia (Garden Party, August 2013), Dawn of a New Reign, Plum Sugar (Sugar High, Spring 2015), Fashionably Late (I’ve Gotta Be Me, Holiday 2014), Crown Velvet (Her Majesty, Holiday 2016)

I didn’t think I had this many dark purples! Plum Sugar is almost dead-on to Dawn of a New Reign and Grape Pop, Mix and Mingle, and Sylvia are close but lighter.

China Glaze Street Regal Swatches and Review!

Hey everyone! Today I have for you swatches of the full China Glaze Street Regal collection! I got these from Transdesign for 3.25 a piece. Stay tuned for comparison swatches down the line, after I’m done with the summer comparisons!

Throne-in’ Shade is a beige crème. It doesn’t look good on me but Throne-in’ Shade has a fabulous formula! This was two easy coats.

Street Style Princess is a light blue toned gray crème. I think it’s a bit more blue toned than Change your Altitude, a polish I need to get my hands on before I do the comparisons. It’s so pretty! This is one you can get opaque in one coat if you want to, I don’t recommend doing that though. This is one coat.

Just a Little Embellishment is a teal satiny matte. I did not know this was a matte until I put it on, what a pleasant surprise! It’s super opaque but it dries pretty fast. This is two easy coats, careful for staining with this one.

Born to Rule is a bright cobalt blue crème. This is one of my least favorite colors of polish to wear but if you like this color you’ll like Born to Rule. This is two coats. Watch out for staining with this guy too.

Dawn of a New Reign is a dark purple crème. This one is really opaque and pretty! It’s a really rich and royal color. This is one coat.

Rock n’ Royale is a really awesome dark brick red. It makes me think of one of the reds from OPI’s old Switzerland collection, I forgot its name. This is probably my favorite of the crèmes, it’s easily opaque in two coats and I don’t have anything like it!

Truth is Gold is, well, gold. It’s really close to both High Standards and Best Ponies Forever, it’s weird how China Glaze has done the same color pretty much in three consecutive collections! Anyway, this polish is fabulous, I love gold. It’s not as brush stroke-y as a lot of gold metallics, most of them fade away as it dries down. Two coats.

Haute & Heavy is an awesome gray metallic that’s completely streak free! I love polishes like these, they’re a pretty way to wear black without looking too edgy. And this was one coat!

Oooh, interesting! Accent Piece is an orangey mustard yellow shimmer. This is what I was hoping Scout would look like! It’s not for everyone but I’m digging it. This is two coats.

Royal Pain in the Ascot is a really beautiful red metallic. No one’s made something like this in years! It’s so fabulous. This is one coat but when I wear this out of the house I’ll definitely wear two coats.

Baroque Jungle is a really pretty green shimmer. No brush strokes here, this is more of a green with tonal shimmer. Two easy beautiful coats.

Glamcore is a super blackened purple shimmer. But it never really looks that black, in fact it almost looks like a duochrome! This is two awesome coats.

All in all, I really love this collection! I always love China Glaze’s fall collections but this one is probably my favorite in a while. The only one I don’t really like is Born to Rule but there’s nothing wrong with it, it’s just not my kind of color. My picks are Accent Piece, Just a Little Embellishment, Baroque Jungle, Street Style Princess, and Glamcore!
