Varnished Radar: New China Glaze Collections for 2011

A new year means new collections from one of my favorite brands- China Glaze.  First up is holographic collection Tronica. With the success of their previous holographic collection OMG,  it’s awesome that they’re coming out with 12 more holo shades. Here is a list of colors from the China Glaze Blog.

  • Techno Teal – Turquoise Holographic
  • Virtual Violet – Violet Holographic
  • Electra Magenta – Magenta Holographic
  • Gamer Glam – Purple Holographic
  • High Def -  Blue Holographic
  • Hologram -  Silver Holographic
  • Hyper Haute – Raspberry Holographic
  • 3D Fantasy – Peachy Pink Holographic
  • Digital Dawn – Dusty Rose Holographic
  • Cyberspace – Taupe Holographic
  • Mega Bite – Gold Holographic
  • Laser Lime – Lime Green Holographic

According to China Glaze, the collection will be available at Sally Beauty for a limited time.


Second up is Anchors Away Collection for Spring 2011. The collection has a good mix of pastels and brights- perfect for the season. Pastels come packaged as  “Sand & Sea”  while the brights are called “Knotty Nauticals”. There’s  a couple of trendy colors like the Below Deck a-la- Chanel’s Paradoxal.  And course there are the quintessential red and blues which one would expect from a collection called “Anchors Away”.  My pick from this collection would probably be blue toned gray polish- Pelican Gray.  Anchors Away is already available at some online retailers.

Color list:

  • Life Perserver
  • Life Savor
  • Ahoy!
  • First Mate
  • Starboard
  • Lighthouse
  • White Cap
  • Pelican Gray
  • Sea Spray
  • Below Deck
  • Sunset
  • Knotty

Lastly, one of my fave online retailers Trans Design revealed two more collections- China Glaze Crackle Glaze and Island Escape.  Crackle Glaze looks like it will be available later this month while Island Escape is must likely a summer collection and will be released in April.  Stay tuned for more info!
