Today I have swatches of half of the new China Glaze Avant Garden collection! In total there are 12 colors (which would make for a lengthy post) so I’m splitting them up. These are from the “Blooming Brights” portion of the collection – 6 bright colors for Spring!
Mimosa’s Before Mani’s is a pinky coral with a hint of shimmer. Perfect in 2 coats!
Sunday Funday is a gorgeous bright blue. One of my favorites from this collection! I must say…the formula on all these polishes is great. I could have gotten away with using 1 coat but did 2 just in case 🙂
This swatch is Snap My Dragon! It’s a red (with a hint of hot pink) with subtle shimmer.
Budding Romance…hmm. Not really sure how I feel about this one! It’s definitely different and probably not a polish I would use that often. This color is more something that I would use for nail art versus plain polishing.
Fancy Pants (oh China Glaze how I love the names for some of these!) is a blurple (blue/purple) with pink shimmer. It’s difficult to see the shimmer in the photo, but it’s really subtle. So pretty!
Passion for Petals is another pink/red shade. This one is similar to Snap My Dragon but this one is a creme with no shimmer.
Stay tuned for the rest of the Avant Garden collection (the pastel shades!) What do you think of them so far?




Wow passion for petals,Sunday funday and mimosas before manis are probably my favourites..xOxO…
I just love this new collection.
Budding Romance has taken my heart. 😉
These swatches are great I can wait to get my hands on some of these. I know you said you weren’t crazy about the green one, but I really love that color, I just wanted to know, is there shimmer in the green one or is it a creme. How many coats did it take to build it up.
Thanks for the info I really appreciate it!

Thank you! The green is definitely different…not my cup of tea but it is a nice color! There’s no shimmer in that one and it was pretty sheer! It took me 3 coats 🙂
