China Glaze Spring 2008 – OMG! 2BKEWL
It’s rare that a nail polish collection comes out with so much pre-sale buzz as this OMG! Collection from China Glaze. Now I don’t know if it was part of their marketing scheme but a few lucky MUA members were able to find these beauties prior to release and it certainly drummed up a lot of excitement.
Just as I’m not a sheer girl, I know not everyone is a holo lover. It’s a lot of sparkle and shimmer to pull off and not necessarily appropriate for all occasions. Not that it stops me from wearing them. I can’t help but be mesmerized by my rainbow nails when ever the light hits them. So when I laid my eyes on these colors, I swooned a bit.
The OMG! collection lacquers are all very pigmented and opaque with two coats. They dry to a smooth matte finish so you really need a top coat to make them glossy. Though considering how many people are looking for a matte top coat, you might like these on their own. The images below are without a top coat and to be honest, they are a good but not great color representation. The shades are a bit bolder in person but I think the finish prevented me from capturing that.
Normally I would do individual reviews but I feel the pics speak for themselves. The formula and application is consistent through all the colors; a bit on the thick side but still even. I did end up with a bit of cuticle dragging from OMG but that issue could have been due to rushing between coats.
The OMG! collection has just started shipping out so look for them at your favorite China Glaze retailer. Stay tuned for 2BHOT Collection swatches tomorrow.

I like these way more than I thought I would.
thank you so much for these and for the previous comparisons! I ordered almost the whole collection, and there may be a few mistakes…but they are soooo gorgeous!!!
These are beautiful! I’m not a huge fan of the names, but wow, these colors are amazing.
I didn’t think I’d like these as much as I do. Very pretty!
Thank you for posting pics Cincy… I know all this swatching takes time, so we appreciate it! They are beautiful and all the ones I pre-ordered are exactly what I wanted!
China Glaze did drum up alot of excitement with these ones and I can’t wait for them to arrive in my mailbox!
Sorry guys, these colors are not for me. I feel like they are just too juvenille. Nice pics though..
I must have OMG. LOVE. I’m surprised I don’t palpitate for DV8! Thanks so much for the swatches
I can’t believe how much I want a nail polish called “OMG”.
It’s wrong but so right.
Thank you for those great swatches! I ordered five of them myself today.
oh deaaaarrrr. I’m definitely getting at least some of those. This is definitely a ME collection
Wow, what great swatches – definitely making me want to run out and buy! But, a question and a comment first… WHEN is someone finally going to put out a green holo, and I wish CG has used this opportunity to put out their version of Day at the Peach… :o( Guess not this time!
Thanks for the photos! These are the perfect collection for me – now if they will only get here! For one of the anonymous posters – I think there is a green in this collection, but in the warm part.
Anon- branzenspider is right, there is a warm collection as well. I will posting swatches of those later today. There is a green but it’s a lighter yellow based green. And there is also a peachy holo.
FYI – I will be posting the 2BHOT collection this evening since I’m still not satisfied with the images.
i wish i knew where i could get this here. /swoon
I love BFF..gah, another one I want because of your blog!
“OMG,” indeed! I LOVE holos, and I LOVE CG, so I’m going to be in heaven! The “Kewl” set is 6 out of 6 for me… I wish more n/p companies offered sets organized this way, since no matter how much I love a “warm” color, it ends up making me look like I’m positively ill if I wear it (though L8RG8R is the EXACT shade I’m gonna wear on Cinco de Mayo – and to drink margaritas by the pool this summer!).
Thanks once again for doing so much work to show us what each polish looks like in SHADE & SUN/FLASH!! It’s much appreciated!
P.S – WHY isn’t CG sold at ULTA, SEPHORA, etc, like OPI & ESSIE? Where do I go to buy them, exactly? (Writing from L.A., CA)
yes!yes!yesyesyesyes!
Hey Cincy!!!!
Would you let us know when and if you add a base coat and/or top coat on your pics, how many coats of color you apply and if you think adding the base & top coat changes the color (aside from matte or shiny).
thank you!!!
