China Glaze Crinkled Chrome Swatches

Today I have for you a really exciting post! I have the swatches of the China Glaze Crinkled Chrome Collection. There are 6 colors to this collection and they're textured.

I used 2 colors instead of 1 by swatch because I feel like some of them look alike in the bottle and that way you can see the difference!

First we have Aluminate which is a silver color and Wrinkling The Sheets which is a metallic light green.


The formula for Wrinkling The Sheets (index and middle fingers) was actually really good but the one for Aluminate (ring finger and pinky) was on the thick side and it was a little hard to work with.

Next, we have Crush,Crush, Baby, a metallic lilac and I'm a Chromantic, a light metallic pink.



As you can see, in the second picture they really look alike. Both formulas were great and easy to use.
I'm wearing Crush, Crush, Baby on my index and middle finger and I'm a Chromatic on the ring finger and the pinky.

Last, we have Iron Out The Details, a light metallic blue and Don't Be Foiled, a light metallic greenish blue.


The formula on Don't Be Foiled (ring fnger and pinky) was really thick and in result looks more bumpy but Iron Out The Details (index and middle finger) had a nice formula and applied easy.

Overall I think this Collection is not for everybody, to me this texture looks like you just put a bunch of the same color glitter as the polish in your nail and can look messy. But they still have quite something that makes them pretty. I used 2 coats for every picture but since they're so pigmented you could get away with just using one.


This is how Crush,Crush,Baby and I'm a Chromantic look with only one coat.

Do you like this collection? What's your favorite shade? Let me know!
