Eat, Pink, Be Merry is a pretty standard light pink shimmer. Nothing too original, but I guess I can understand the rationale behind having such a traditional color in a collection. Gotta have something to please everyone right? *shoulder shrug*

Warm Wishes

Warm Wishes, oh Warm Wishes. It's a nice color. A standard watermelon crème. While I'm not wowed by the color itself, I can't complain about the smooth application of this lacquer.

Tis the Sea-Sun

Tis the Sea-Sun is your standard coral crème.  Nothing to write home about colorwise, but it does have a fairly smooth application.

The More The Berrier

The More The Berrier yup, you guessed it. nothing original here. No complaints about the formula, but gosh I'm just not wowed by the color selection here.

Seas and Greetings

Seas and Greetings, not gonna lie here. The namesake of the collection is one of my favorites. Why? Well. I like purple. *Kanye shrug*

Let's Shell-ebrate
Let's Shell-ebrate brings something slightly different to the table with the purple and gold glitter. Again, biased. Why? Purple and gold are my top two favorite colors. See how simple I am? No shame.
Twinkle, Twinkle Little Starfish
Twinkle, Twinkle Little Starfish, China Glaze's direct description from the press release is a "holographic green & gold glitter." Green and gold? Yes. Holo? No.

Partridge in a Palm Tree

Partridge in a Palm Tree let's completely ignore the typo on the swatch stick okay? Much like the Rebel Collection had one matte shade. Seas and Greetings does as well. The formula is a little thick so I would suggest adding a drop or two of nail polish thinner.

Joy to the Wave
Joy to the Wave can't really go wrong with a blue shimmer with gold/green undertones, can we?
Good Tide-ings a super blue-leaning lavender crème with a smooth formula. I love this shade the most of the 12-piece collection. But it definitely reminds me of OPI You're Such A BudaPest.


Overall, I do have a few faves from this years holiday collection, but I'd prefer Cheers! more. And if we're talking best China Glaze collection of all time, nothing and I do mean nothing, is beating Cirque Du Soliel Worlds Away.
