China Glaze Glitz Bitz 'n Pieces Collection Swatches

Hi guys! Today I have a new collection from China Glaze called Glitz Bitz 'n Pieces to share with you. I was at my local beauty supply last week stocking upon nail polish remover and they had just gotten these in and were putting out the display. I haven't heard a whole heck of a lot about these so I wandered over to check them out. I saw black glitter and bought all of them based solely on that lol! I'm beginning to think I have a glitter problem, pretty much anything with black glitter, square glitter or circular glitter has to come home with me. It's getting out of control. Check out all the swatches after the jump!

Formula wise all 6 polishes in this collection were the same. I found them to be a little thick and chunky but they are SO glitter dense that I don't think there is any way around that. Despite the chunkiness I had no application issues and the glitter payoff was fantastic. I used CND Air Dry as a top coat over each polish for the photos below, all photos in this post are in the shade.

Bling It On is black and purple glitter in a clear base. The purple glitter tends to lean more towards blue (to my eyes) most of the time, it's really walking that line. I used 1 coat over Nicole by OPI Spring Break for the photos below.

Glitz 'N Pieces is black and silver glitter in a clear base. This was the first one I picked up off the display that sold me on it. I used 1 coat over an unnamed purple creme from City Color for the photos below.

Graffiti Glitter is emerald green and black glitter in a clear base. This is one of my favorites in the collection, the green glitter is gorgeous and perfect for 2013 since emerald is the Pantone color of the year. I used 1 coat over Zoya Neely for the photos below.

Mosaic Madness is sapphire blue and black glitter in a clear base. This is my overall favorite of the collection, blue and black together is a great combo. The shade of blue glitter in here makes it especially stunning. I used 1 coat over OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls for the photos below.

Razzle Me, Dazzle Me is pale pink and black glitter in a clear base. I really like the pink in here, it tends to look different depending on the lighting. In some light it almost looked like a soft pinky copper. I used 1 coat over Zoya Carey for the photos below.

Scattered & Tattered is red and black glitter in a clear base. In person the red glitter was a bit brighter, I feel like my camera was washing it out a little bit. I used 1 coat over Nicole by OPI My Lifesaver for the photos below.

Overall I really like this collection, I feel like I've been hard on China Glaze lately but this collection reminds me why they are one of my favorite brands. If you don't like bar glitter these will probably be a pass for you but if you don't mind it these are wonderful. The mix of glitter is great, I think China Glaze nailed it with the proportion of colored glitter and black glitter. I was a little worried after Whirled Away from the Cirque du Soleil Collection was such a mess but these are very different from that. My picks are Mosaic Madness and Graffiti Glitter...really though all 6 are great and I'm happy to add them all to my collection.

I believe this collection is a February release for places like Sally Beauty Supply, but you may luck out and find them out sooner like I did! I'm guessing that the etailers might already have these also or will be getting them any day since they usually get collections around the same time as my local place.
