Swatches and review: China Glaze Autumn Nights collection

Hi ladies~ :) Whilst it is really warming up here in Australia at the moment (yay for spring!), I have some pretty autumn shades to share with you today (because who wears nail polish according to season anyway... shhhh!). Behold, half of China Glaze Autumn Nights collection!


I'm going to start off by saying that the the nail polishes I have are all amazingly opaque; in fact, I only applied one coat for all the swatches, except for two. That will be noted below. I've already tried stamping with one of the polishes which you'll see in an upcoming post :)

Queen B, a pretty crème blurple. It's dark and dusty and actually leans a little too blue in my photos but it's gorgeous. Two coats, only because I stuffed up the first coat.

The next three shades have a fine shimmer finish.

Tongue & chic is a gorgeous deep teal shade.

Red-y & willing, a pretty red shimmer. Nothing too unique about it, but it's a nice polish to get if you're just starting out in your nail polish obsession, or for girls like me, trying to build the red in their stash ;)

Don't make me wine. Like the name states, a wine shade. Again, nothing unique and I'm sure there are dupes out there but for me, it's unique to my stash.

And lastly, the two dense foil shades.

Goldie but goodie is a darkened gold shade. Very pretty!

Rendezvous with you. Of course, I save my favourite (and best!) for last :P This one is a stunning purple foil ♥ It actually reminds me of OPI Lincoln park after dark suede but a glossy version of it. I might have to do a comparison of them soon!

All in all, I don't think this is a super unique collection for ladies with large nail polish collections. But if you're only just starting out or a fan of stamping, I would definitely recommend picking up some of these shades!

What are your picks?

Thanks for reading!
