China Glaze Fall 2015 The Great Outdoors Collection Swatches & Review

by Lisa Heath

Press Sample

Today I have the China Glaze Fall 2015 collection The Great Outdoors on the blog to show you! I previewed these shades at Cosmoprof NA and knew they were pretty, but actually putting them on made me really love them!

Here’s what China Glaze had to say about the collection:

Deadlines to meet. Trains to catch. Speeding cars. Loud sirens. In the hustle and bustle of today’s fast paced world, it is easy to lose sight of the true beauty that surrounds us. It can be a challenge to slow down and appreciate the wondrous world all around. This fall, China Glaze® encourages you to do just that with its The Great Outdoors collection. Continuing on its 2015 Colour Adventure, China Glaze® explores the vast tones and textures of the wilderness. These 12 new nature-inspired shades inspire you to ground yourself, even if for just a moment, and appreciate the treasures of the great outdoors that shimmer, sparkle and wow.

Overview

I was actually quite pleased with this collection, especially the 3 duochromes. It’s a really nice Fall collection with very minimal issues as far as application goes. I had some minor streak issues with Gone Glamping and self leveling issues with S’More Fun, otherwise, nothing bad!

China Glaze® The Great Outdoors will be available in August 2015 at Ulta and Sally Beauty Supply, as well as fine salons. MSRP $7.50 for individual shades.

You can also find China Glaze online at Harlow & Co (Canada)

OMG, those duo chromes, Gone Glamping and Cabin Fever – I’m going to start looking for them right away. And I love 3 of the cremes too. Very nice

Lisa Heath August 22, 2015 - 10:02 am

They did a fabulous job on the duochromes! A lot of brands show a shift in the bottle but not on the nail.

Chelsea August 21, 2015 - 12:42 pm

I am having such a hard time picking a favorite, these are all the most perfect fall colors! I think Take a Hike could be my fave. Sooo pretty!

Lisa Heath August 22, 2015 - 10:03 am

They really hit it outta the park with this collection!

Heather August 21, 2015 - 12:52 pm

You don’t really want these, wrap them up and send them my way…I will take care of them for you hehehe …I love the glitters so pretty!

I love Sleeping Under The Stars.

Lisa Heath August 21, 2015 - 1:24 pm

I wasn’t expecting the shifting shimmer in SLeeping Under The Stars! It’s a nice touch!

Tanya August 21, 2015 - 1:04 pm

Digging this collection, especially Pondering, Cabin Fever, Under the Stars, Take a Hike and S’More Fun. I hope to see comparisons, curious hoe My Lodge or Yours compares to Dress me Up.

Lisa Heath August 21, 2015 - 1:17 pm

I might have Dress Me Up, I’ll have to check!

Maria D. August 21, 2015 - 5:07 pm

I am loving those colors! Thanks for the preview – I’ll have to drag myself to Sally Beauty to pick a couple of them up!

Lisa Heath August 22, 2015 - 10:04 am

They are definitely worth picking up. I haven’t done a ton of Fall previews yet – but I’m hoping they are all half as good as this one!

MarciaF August 21, 2015 - 5:18 pm

Sleeping Under the Stars and The Great Outdoors are absolutely fabulous. I need to buy these. I really didn’t think I’d like this collection but there are a few stunning shades.

Lisa Heath August 22, 2015 - 10:05 am

Fall collections are usually hit or miss for me, especially coming off of a Summer brights kick – but China Glaze did a fabulous job with this set

Stephanie Louise (@StephLouiseATB) August 21, 2015 - 6:40 pm

I really like Take A Hike!

Lisa Heath August 22, 2015 - 10:05 am

That’s a gorgeous creme!

Nidia - Lit From Within August 21, 2015 - 10:20 pm

It’s been a while since I felt the need to own an entire collection, but I think China Glaze really hit this one out of the park! Love it!

They definitely did!

Lisa Heath August 22, 2015 - 10:07 am

They are beautiful!

Brooke @ Blushing Noir August 22, 2015 - 7:13 am

I need S’more fun for the name! Cabin Fever is beautiful!

Lisa Heath August 22, 2015 - 10:08 am

I loved that name, but I expected a creamy brown from it :) Still pretty though!

Honeygirlk August 22, 2015 - 12:00 pm

I have several of these on my wish list – China Glaze is my favorite nail polish brand and man would I want the whole colleciton, gorgeous.

This is probably the best whole collection they’ve put out in awhile.
