On my very first Throwback Thursday post a couple of weeks ago, I had a request from one of my dear readers Christy to Throwback to China Glaze's On Safari Collection. This collection was released back in 2012 and consists of twelve polishes with a mix of finishes. I only picked up four of the polishes (some of the others still remain on my wishlist) - I'm Not Lion, I Herd That, Jungle Queen and Purr-fect Plum. Today I am going to share with you my two favorite polishes from this collection.

I'm Not Lion is a gold, silver and holographic glitter. This polish can either been worn on its own (like I have for my swatches) or layered over a base colour. I personally prefer to wear this one on its own. It's really sparkly and applies really well. I used three coats for my swatch. Now I will apologize that I do not have a good sunshine picture. I worn with this on a day that was meant to be sunny according to the weather man, but apparently he was very, very wrong. There was not a single patch of sun.

Purr-fect Plum is a dark plum creme. This is definitely one of my favorite winter polishes and it also stamps rather well over lighter colours. Application is great, and it's close to being a one coater. I used two coats for my swatch.

I do love both of these polishes. They are definitely my favorite from this collection and I would probably even go as far as saying that they are some of my favorite polishes that China Glaze have ever released.
I believe both of these polishes are still available (I have seen them online) but I don't know about availability in stores.
Love these!!! I have been able to get I herd that, desert sun, and Kalahari kiss from that collection. EBay is great for those hard to find polishes. That plum is a great color. I might have to add that to my collection too.
ReplyDeleteI have I Herd That and that is really pretty too. It's not one I grab for as often as I'm Not Lion Though and Purr-fect Plum is really pretty. It definitely wouldn't hurt to have it in your collection ;)
DeleteI've wanted I'm Not Lion for ages but I think it's discontinued as I can't find it at any regular stockist. Are there any close dupes in your collection? Your swatch has revived my need for it!
ReplyDeleteYou need I'm Not Lion. It really is super pretty and I am not much of a gold person at all. I have no idea if I have dupes for it in my collection. Most of my polishes are packed in boxes as we are about to move but I will have to check when I unpack anything. Have you tried Ebay? They may be the best bet. If I see it anywhere I'll let you know :)
DeleteOh you're moving again? Oh no more bubble wrap.... Good luck with it all. I'll keep checking eBay. I will own Not Lion one day.
ReplyDeleteYep we're moving again. All the way back to Melbourne. I'm so excited. We actually move this Friday and then move into the new house hopefully next Wednesday. Fingers crossed it all goes according to plan so I can have my polishes back. :) Good luck on your hunt for I'm Not Lion. If I see it pop up somewhere I will let you know
