Stash Swatch Initiative: China Glaze Champagne Bubbles

Hello!

Here's another polish that has sat untried in my Melmer forever. This is China Glaze Champagne Bubbles.

China Glaze Champagne Bubbles. Indoors, artificial light, no flash.
Champagne Bubbles is a shimmery yellow-gold polish with a dusting of tiny silver hex glitters. It's unfortunate that this polish is so yellow-toned. I think it could have been epic if the base color was a lighter golden color, or a peachy neutral, which would've been more indicative of actual champagne. I think we would have gone absolutely crazy for a polish like that, but in it's current form, Champagne Bubbles is just a forgotten part of 2011's Let it Snow collection. Oh what could have been...

Anyway, swatches today are a base coat of Seche Clear, two coats of Champagne Bubbles, and one coat of NYC In a New York Minute. The formula isn't too thick and applies easily. Just take care not to overwork this one because it will start to bald a bit.

I'm pretty sure I purchased this a long, long time ago from Head2Toe Beauty only because it was in one of the holiday gift sets that I wanted. The entire Let It Snow Collection, along with some of the gift sets, are still available here.

More soon! ^_^

  1. I think I got my bottle from 8ty8Beauty, but I still haven't worn it. It's a pretty color but I'm not as crazy about it as I was when it first came out.

    1. I'm not too crazy for this polish either -- I had my bottle for a very long time before I swatched it, and I don't think I'll be reaching for it again any time soon. They can't all be winners! ^_^
