China Glaze - When Stars Collide

Hello dear readers!

Today, I'm going to show you swatches of China Glaze - When Stars Collide. I wore this color last month but couldn't post it because I wanted to post Halloween manicures... so here it is.

When Stars Collide is a maroon color holographic nail polish. It was part of the China Glaze Hologlam collection.

Here you can see the holographic shine. The holo effect is not as strong as on previous collections but I like the subtle metallic finish.

I experienced a bit of difficulty in application such as bald spots and dragging when I applied a 2nd coat. Not too bad but still, not a perfect application.

Here I posted swatches for CG Strap on your Moonboots, another nail polish from the hologlam collection.

What do you think of this nail polish?

♥♥Thank you for reading♥♥

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO THIS PLACE WAS SO NICEEEEEE! I'm the type of girl that doesn't normally however as soon as I stepped in the store, OH MY GOSH. There is a large supply of nail polish from many different brands. It is like a rainbow in the store. The prices are also very very cheap. Much better pricing than other stores. They also have a cute doggy in the store that is very friendly. The owners in the store are really nice and offer very good service. Sometimes they may be very busy so they can't really help out for a long time however they try their best to make time for every customer.

My favorite part of the store is the cute drawings. Dinosaurs everywhere, love it! The little stick figures are cute. This place is awesome. Place has pretty good pricing on OPI nail polish and has a decent selection of eyelashes that are only $3. Their customer service is a bit off tho, that's why im giving 4 stars. Apart from that its a money saver for sure. The only place I will buy my nail supplies! They have the best price on nail polishes!

They carry all the best brands, i.e. OPI, China Glaze, Essie, etc. They also carry all the different shellac brands. The nail polishes are about 1/2 the price of the normal bottles from regular stores! This place is my go to when it comes to nail polishes, duh! Everything is so cheap compared to drugstores. The workers are so nice; they always check on you to see if you have any questions or need help finding a certain polish. They also have drawings to remind you not to steal which cracks me up when I'm there because it is drawn so cute lol

They watch you like a hawk here probably because there have been shoplifters (understandably). Can't try colors so make sure to know which colors look good with your skin tone prior to going. The number of nail polishes is a bit overwhelming but it's great to have options. I still have massive love for this place. I really do. Sometimes I even bring Rex with me so he can play with their dog Boxster. Well, Rex tries to play and Boxster remains largely unimpressed!

They've added so much since I wrote my first review for them three years ago - Zoya, Nubar, Color Club, Jessica, Dare 2 Wear and several other brands I can't think of at the moment. (They're still on the fence about carrying Layla and NFU Oh!) I have always found customer service here to be outstanding, despite the sheer volume of traffic that has come through here while I've been shopping. I enjoy talking with the owners and their staff.

I understand that some people get upset because collections come in and get sold, but if you don't understand basic market concepts, that's your problem and not mine. Translation: get there early and buy stuff if you want the things you want. Hope that makes better sense. :D Still my #1 place to go to for purchasing nail polish and nail polish remover.

When you walk in, it's seriously just rows and rows and rows of different brands of nail polish. They have everything from OPI to Essie to Zoya to China Glaze!! I always have such a hard time choosing a select few colors since there's so many to choose from. The best thing about this place is the pricing!! I'm assuming everything is marked as the wholesale price, so it's WAY cheaper than what you'd see at retail stores.

Also, since it's pretty much a wholesale store for nail supplies, they have all kinds of supplies for manicures that are used in salons. So for those of you who like doing professional manicures yourself, this is the place to get all your supplies for a good price! Prices have gotten increasingly pricier and pricier over the years but I still can't find a place that can beat the prices of this place! O.P.I., China Glaze, Essie, Color Club, Seche, Zoya... you name it! They have the latest collections too, for way cheaper than what you would normally pay outside of this store! But dude, seriously, how can you pass up ~$2 - $5 a bottle for what normally cost you $8 - $12 a bottle elsewhere?! I know I can't... gets dangerous here with the amount of polishes you can pick up! Hahah.

The place seems family run, and all the people are quite friendly and helpful. It's good that they don't let you try the nail polishes cause I don't like purchasing polishes and take them home only to find that they've been tampered with! The only complaint I have with this place is that they do an additional charge if you pay with credit card... so bring cash if you want to refrain from paying that extra fee.

They have a massive variety of nail polish and other beauty products. There was so much inventory to browse through, I was beyond overwhelmed. They had Essie, OPI, Orly, China Glaze, etc. I had quite a bit of polish before I realized another huge section of polish. The lady behind the counter was very friendly and helpful. I can't wait to come back for some new colors...It's best to bring cash! There's a convenience charge for using card! Lots of nail choices but they aren't always well stocked.

Also, they don't always list their prices with their products. This became a problem when I came here with my sister and her Korean friend. Her friend went to ask one of the older women working there how much a box of 10 face masks was. The older woman in Vietnamese told one of the men working there to tell us $5. Then he responds a box of 10 of $10, but individually they cost $1.50. Sorry. Safe to say that we did not purchase it if they originally said $5.

Omg this is nail polish overload! I love this place. And the polishes are about half the price you see at Ulta or Sephora. They also have a lot of other things from nail decals to lotions and NYX cosmetics. I got 6 polishes (one OPI was $7 normally about $10) and I only spent $30. I will definitely going back. Love love love! I just bought 10 Essie nail polishes, 2 OPI polishes and the large Seche Vite top coat kit for all under $70! Definitely nail polish heaven! The only thing I saw over priced are the nail stripe tape; on amazon a set of about 30 cost less than $3 plus shipping, here each little one is $3.50. The guy working was super helpful and nice. Definitely recommend this place to anyone searching for nail polishes or nail supplies!
