China Glaze: Smoke and Ashes & Electrify

 I have two colors from the Colours from the Capital I showed you earlier. I received Smoke and Ashes and Electrify, let's get started. 


Smoke and ashes is a black base that has blue, gold, green (like a teal almost) duochrome shimmer. It's even more stunning in person and is unique to my collection. Application was smooth and was opaque in one coat but I added a second and a top coat of SV... one coat of awesome.. love it.






Electrify is a gold and red glitter that sits in a clear base. The medium hex red glitter leans on the orange side so it doesn't look like Christmas and the small gold glitter adds warmth. In general I'm not a huge glitter bomb fan but this one is super sparkly and dense so two coats gives you the shown coverage. I also didn't find it gritty and was smoothed out with a coat of SV. Another win.






Colours from the Capitol are available in early March (some are finding them online already) from Sally's Beauty and other China Glaze retailers.

    Our Sally's has zero delivery on this collection and does not expect it until mid March! Ugh. I knew from the descriptions & bottle shots I would not want the gold and red glitter - I am really getting tired of glitters and this to me looks like holiday which I am major over of course. Not a fan either of Smoke & Ashes. I like the Riveting orange!

    I picked up Fast Track, Foie Gras, Smoke & Ashes, and Harvest Moon! They all go one perfectly! This is the honestly the first China Glaze collection I have been excited about! Thanks for the swatches! : )
