China Glaze On the Horizon [press release - cartella stampa]

Today I'd like to post about the new China Glaze collections: let's start with a limited edition, featuring "six unique lacquers using interwoven matte particles to create a feathered finish."

The description was intriguing, but I had to see swatches (linked at the bottom of the post) to understand what kind of polishes these "feathered" were. 

If I had to simplify I'd say "matte bar glitters". I'm still not sure whether I like them or not.

EDIT: I found a picture of  Golden Rose Impression polishes...They seem quite similar!

Oggi ho voglia di farvi vedere le novità China Glaze: iniziamo con una edizione limitata, caratterizzata da smalti  che utilizzano -traduco letteralmente- particelle opache (stavo per scrivere matte, ma mi faceva ridere l'idea delle particelle impazzite) intrecciate per creare un effetto piumato. Dicono di utilizzare due passate per un effetto coprente o una come layering su una base di colore complementare.

Dal comunicato stampa non mi era molto chiaro il significato di tutto questo...Dopo aver visto gli swatch (link in fondo al post) credo si possano definire "bar glitter opachi" (se dire "glitter opaco" ha senso).

Oppure "pastina colorata in brodo"! Non ho ancora capito se mi piacciono o no.

EDIT: ho trovato una foto dei Golden Rose Impression; sembrano simili, no?
