China Glaze Summer Reign Collection | Live Application Review

[@EANDM71]

I got these in the mail just today, and I absolutely love them. I suppose that for fairer skinned people, perhaps they're not as "summery" but for my deeper skin tone, they're perfect and I'm in love. Those oranges and the purple-lish color is stunning!

[@driley5004]

Why Knot_Now? since u bought them, ill ask u. I have used sinful, opi, color club etc. but china glaze always chips on my nails. even w/ base coat and top. any tricks? of course I would only buy a few of these BC im white AF....like pasty. lol.

[@EANDM71]

I love using a good base coat from OPI or ORLY. Then using Essie's Top Coat, which is awesome! I also love using Rejuvenate as a base and a top.

[@minnie7453]

Usually people say that skunk smell happens with blue polishes so it may be the type of pigment :) thanks for the swatches!

[@Sweetheart2_]

Summer Reign and Sunset Seeker were my favorites!

[@ItIsAmandaaa]

I like this. I'm kind of sick of the same predictable colors for each season and like how China Glaze has done something different for the seasonal collections lately!

[@sarahgreiner2694]

Gosh . . . looks like I'll probably be getting more than I thought, I do love the mattes.

[@Iluvcats011]

I think this is an odd collection but thought the same for the holidays with the Spring and Summer-type colors. Thank you for your reviews and swatches.

[@StacyPerrin]

I like the matte orange!

[@TwiStarBlogspot]

Great vid! I'm kinda glad I didn't pick up the whole set. I may grab a couple, the Azure one looks great. Thanks!

[@ciarapershall1633]

twi_star I love your channel!!

[@minnie7453]

I was at Sally's today for their end-of-the-month discounts and I couldn't pass up Sunset Seeker! It just looked so beautiful in the bottle. I also picked up 4 China Glazes that had been marked down to 3 dollars and they rang up for 99 cents each! 😍 Good deals make me so happy.

[@sierra734]

Summer Rain ☔️ Emerald Bae are my pics .

[@carmenfonseca349]

thank you for swatches, I really liked the last 4 polishes, didn't care for the first ones

[@micnitram2006]

Baaahhh finally! I've been dying to see this swatched for weeks - since I saw it at transdesign!

[@lurcherry]

Summer Reign is beautiful. That's the only one I'd consider

[@SummerBaby731]

Not really into this collection because I can't stand mattes, but That blue shimmer is beautiful! But I really really don't need anymore polish. I've bought so much already this this year.

[@micheleblais636]

thank you for the review, I love China glaze. I like the purple matte one you are wearing. hopefully I will be able to find. when will they be in stores?

[@annking8156]

So glad you did this review was really wanting to see what these looked like, and now I know that I probably won't pick up any. Not into matte no matter how hard I try.

[@cherryphm]

High Standards looks like Gold Medal by Sinful Colors. I bet the chromes stamp really well!

[@Bunney327]

Some of the colors are lovely but you're right, an odd collection for Summer. But then I didn't think the colors in the Seas and Greetings should've been a holiday collection either. But that's just me.

[@Sweetheart2_]

Bunney327 Not just you. I skipped the Seas and Greetings collection too.

[@laughingalltheway8399]

Same. I usually buy the complete CG collections the second they become available anywhere online, but the only full CG collection I have bought in the last year has been the Rebel collection from last Fall. I did pick up the pastels from Sally's, but I wasn't all that impressed with most of those, either (they were just in front of me...which means they had to come home...haha!). I grabbed 4 from the Winter collection (and destashed one of them), 2 from the Spring collection, and wound up buying 3 from this collection. I am impressed with the formulas on the 3 I got from this collection, but the other colors don't trip my trigger enough to buy them simply for the formulas. I hope they go back to their "typical" collections soon...I miss neons for summer!!

[@gray_7]

I like All Glammed Up and Summer Reign the best The formula of Fa-Blue-less looks awesome, I love the look of it, but I'm not really into blue. If it were almost any other color I would definitely want it. I'm into jellies now but I'm a couple years behind!

[@kimmatura3564]

I agree, strange collection. The last polish was my favorite, although I do not like matte finish.

[@thecyborgmom]

Totally not polish related, but...I really loved your Ed Sheeran cover in this!

[@grisusweetie]

Thanks for the review! Now I have to buy more CG - again! 🙀Sunset seeker looks amazing. And I love their matte quick drying formula.

[@Sweetheart2_]

Natalie Flock I love those quick drying mattes too! I wore Combat-Bluets more than once in the fall, and I LOVE Life is Suite!!

[@grisusweetie]

Sweetheart162148 Combat bluets is what got me hooked on this formula! It's my go-to color when I'm in a rush 😂it dries so quick I can apply them it while getting ready.

[@Kalleesto]

I really like you doing the dupe swatch comparison on sticks and adding other brands. Helpful upload as usual - thank you! BTW Being in Australia I loved the Seas and Greetings collection - AU is usually 6 months behind the 'fashions' due to the reversal of seasons so it's great to have a collection that we can get into immediately on release! I bought half of it!

[@lainyjane4581]

Nope for me. I'm at the point in collecting it has to wow me. I may be reading things into what you were saying, but I was giggling at how tactful you were. Love you.

[@HeyitsDeirdre]

nice colors I like china Glaze I like bright colors

[@janefreer7167]

Thank-you for the swatches. The orange was interesting. Love the wack-a-doodle!!! ( have not heard that phrase for awhile.

[@Bella5me]

Very pretty but strange collection! Thank you for reviewing these before we buy them, I was really curious about them. The ones on my list to buy are: 1. Summer Reign (looks gorgeous) 2. Sunset Seeker 3. I Truly Azure You 4. Emerald Bae 5. Flame Boyant

[@amygalli598]

So bummed out with this collection, especially since their last two Summer collections were amazing! May have to pick up the purple one though.:)

[@Cherrylimeade0235]

I don't have a color like Summer Reign or Emerald Bae; I'll have to track those down.

[@Banana04218]

strange collection but you do such a good job presenting everything, I enjoyed anyway. thanks so much for this review

[@nannybannany]

See I think Sultry Solstice looks way more pumpkin to me. The first one was bright enough that I think it's pretty summery.

[@nannybannany]

High Standards is a beautiful antique gold. But I can't stand brushstrokes haha.

[@phylliso1364]

I'm so glad you reviewed these. I was looking forward to them. I want about half the collection. Love the dupes portion. The only 2 dupes I have are Four Leaf Clover and For Audrey. I'll most likely pick up a few. :)

[@minnie7453]

I think the only one I kind of want is Sunset Seeker. I'm wondering if I can just mattify an orange I already have though. Trying to be frugal :b Summer Reign also has a very interesting tone

[@michellelyman7092]

was sooo hoping they would do a 20 yr anniversary collection like they did the 10 yr one instead of this disconnected conglomeration LOL but I do think there are a couple I will get, thanks for doing this! Your comparisons are especially helpful and I"m heading to the polish room next to check my racks as I might be passing on 2 of the 4 I wrote down:-)

[@KzooBeerGirl]

Sadly (but good for my wallet), there's really nothing here I feel like I need. Thank you for reviewing this for us!

[@sandysunshine667]

CG was like, "We tired. Here--take whatever." They should've just skipped this collection, ALTHOUGH I gotta say the silver, green and summer reign purple (with top coat) caught my eye. Thanks for the dupes too, as I am curious about Flying Dragons now. Thanks for your work and for sharing, Phoebe, and take care :)

[@kjo1986]

All glammed up or too much of a good fling? Similar colors yes but which is better formula?

[@minnie7453]

China Glaze seems a little confused lately. With that summery winter collection and then not even doing a Halloween collection? I really hope they do one this year.

[@patronsaintoffashion2722]

the skunky smell was probably because it's blue. I've noticed lots of blues, jelly or cream, smell kinda weird like that

[@blacdiamondsnpearls]

So far the only shade I like is summer reign

[@TheGoodbyeGirl]

What is going on with China Glaze? They dont have anything online about their spring pastels then they bring out this crazy unsummery summer collection?? Also Summer Reign looks like a dupe for Zoya Harlow maybe??

[@msvelvetleigh]

TheGood ByeGirl the pastels and nudes are new to the core wall at Sally's not really a collection.

[@TheGoodbyeGirl]

msvelvetleigh hmm, so just dump polishes into your core line? but don't list them on your website, plus even that summer collection isn't on their website..... very weird.

[@msvelvetleigh]

TheGood ByeGirl the pastels are mentioned on their website, when you click it it sends you to Sally beauty website

[@TheGoodbyeGirl]

Really?? I couldnt find them? I even searched by name? Where abouts on their website are they listed please??

[@TheGoodbyeGirl]

I found it!, its just a banner link to Sally Beauty :( thats so disappointing, bad show China Glaze.

[@CaroLina-ei9kd]

I agree with you, what a strange collection! Like they put a few polishes from every season in their. 😶 When I saw the two chrome polishes I instantly thought 'Christmas already?'. 😅

[@ilovehorses435]

Have u tried the new OPI Designer series collection yet?

[@laughingalltheway8399]

I'm very curious how Simply Fa-Blue-Less compares to Orly's The Who's Who. Otherwise, the only ones in this collection that pique my interest are Summer Reign (my bottle of Flying dragon looks to be a LOT lighter than yours...but i threw away a bottle that had gotten dark over time, so maybe yours is older?) and I Truly Azure You. I'm sad...I live for China Glaze Summer collections, and this one seems to be mostly a bust with tons of dupes and lots of blah. :(

[@preciousemeralds]

Bobby Susemihl my bottle of flying dragon is also alot lighter than hers! I was confused at 1st because my bottle looks so different from hers.

[@laughingalltheway8399]

For what it's worth, I bought Summer Reign (and it is AMAZING!)--it is more purple than Flying Dragon (FG's shimmer is more glittery and less smooth), but about the same tone/brightness.

[@youngrapunzel5272]

Bobby Susemihl flying dragon fades ): I love the darker color but mines faded to a gross light purple, it is the worst now. I don't wear gel polish but I bought the gel version of flying dragon on clearance super cheap and it's so dark and good. and not matte so the sparkles look so dope. too bad I don't wear gel lol

[@Foxsea24]

Hi Phoebe. Thx for another great video! Where would you recommend I go to get my hands on the up-coming 'My Little Pony' collection from China Glaze?

[@PhoebeMoon]

Sara Allen head2toebeauty.com had the whole collection except for one of the special edition duos, and I went to 8ty8beauty for that. you could just pick up the whole thing from 8ty8beauty.com but I just have found that head2toebeauty.com has the fastest shipping

[@yeeboahu1648]

Is lets jam from last summer collection a dupe of summer reign? I found only the shimmer is a little different?

[@Faerietalenails]

I think the colors are beautiful but not really for me. I usually buy the whole collection but I think I might just one or two from this one...ever since the Rebel collection for Fall last year I think they've been trying to try new things for collections but I personally love vampy colors for fall, pastels for spring, neons for summer, etc. But their past 3 collections have just been so off to me. I haven't purchased a full collection since The Great Outdoors one.

[@quiettornado1970]

You didn't mention these dupes for 13:09 Revlon red. 16:20 Revlon's copper penny. 19:07 Wet n wild has a navy blue like the one china glaze hanging in the balance.

[@silentwinged]

I don't even know what China Glaze is doing right now (seriously, what is up with that pastels collection that came out of nowhere??). I've been pretty disappointed since that lame Halloween collection last year. That said... yeah there's probably a couple I'll pick up - that emerald one is particularly nice!

[@margaretyoder3007]

Weird collection.....thanks, as always, for the comparison info!!

[@ornellarose8754]

You move the brush too much when painting, you only need about 3-5 strokes. :)

[@AdoredBevies]

I agree the colors dont make much sense but I love this collection...their Xmas collection was more with summer colors...maybe that's why? lol :) tfs great video

[@amanimaniac]

I don't know...I get the colors when I see the collection graphic. Oranges and reds are always good sunset colors; you only get those kinds of sunsets in the summer. Blues and greens for foliage and water, and doesn't everyone wear gold/silver jewelry or wear metallic sandals in the summer? The only one that makes me scratch my head is the pastel. Don't get that one at all.

[@karak.7201]

I like this collection, I don't get the confusion. I think China Glaze is just putting out nail polishes that appeal to different skin tones. What's a summer color to one person isn't a summer color for someone else.

[@loopyfrog]

very strange collection indeed, but it's interesting

[@aLoveTart]

Yes, super weird!

[@rebekahwilson1985]

the only one that wowed me was summer reign. I do see why you were so discombobulated by the collection. also essie no place like chrome is probably a dupe for the silver chrome.

[@jodisheridan5223]

What a strange collection. China Glaze has been underwhelming me.

[@robinstoffels5984]

Strange collection🤔

[@kimmatura3564]

I agree, strange collection. The last polish was my favorite, although I do not like matte finish.
