China Glaze Choo-Choo Choose You

Hey everybody! :)  So...China Glaze has released yet another gorgeous fall collection.  I always love their fall stuff.  I seem to recall...something about...buying the whole collection last year?  Oh, I could be wrong.  No...wait...I'm not. 

The All Aboard collection is right up my alley, or should we say track, due to some of its rather peculiar colors.  Khaki with heavy shimmer?  A fabulous ORANGE?  Why yes, yes indeed.  But since I hadn't the funds for the entire collection *cough* yet, I settled for my top pick, Choo-Choo Choose You.  Choo-Choo is a purple/green/taupe/copper multichrome color shifter that is absolutely filled with shimmer.  I say it's purple...it looks rather purple in the bottle, but it's one of those confusing shades that makes you wonder if it's really purple you see. :)



Every picture I've seen so far of Choo-Choo Choose You shows the greenish/taupe side of the color, but I couldn't seem to capture the green in any of mine.  This purple/copper shade is what my nails were in the sunlight.  The green showed up indoors in lower lighting.


Choo-Choo Choose You has some of the prettiest shimmer you'll ever see...so pretty that it merits its own blurred bottle shot:


Pink and gold, and lots of it too!  There was a down side to this beautiful polish though, at least for me, and that was crazy inordinate tip wear.  And I used 3 coats, and it still ended up looking sort of sheer for some reason.  I don't think it does that on normal people. :/  Well, I'll not let that minute detail get me down.

For a full review of the entire All Aboard collection (and some nice green pics of Choo-Choo), check out Yadi's review over at Night Swatcher.

Thanks for stopping by, and have a lovely day!

    1. I got mine at Sally's!! I think it's pretty special. I was wearing aqua blue last night and needed to quickly change and threw this over it...you should see it with blue undertones...wow !

  3. I've heard such amazing things about this color! And it looks positively, ambiguously gorgeous on you. Unflotunately, I'm on a no-buy (missing nearly three full days of work will do that to a person).

    Normalcy is overrated.

    1. Ambiguously gorgeous is indeed a compliment of the highest order. :) Choo-Choo is one of the most dramatically shifting polishes I own. There are angles when it just doesn't even look like the same polish. You'd never know this looked olive green on me most of the time. Yeah...normalcy. Who needs it??

    1. :D I was a little discouraged that I couldn't get ANY green to come out and play, but it seems that it looks different on everybody. I do love this polish. :)
