I just ordered the 12 piece portion of the collection, I wasn't really into the duo. I am 37 and I LOVED My Little Pony when I was a child. This was just such a fun throwback for me and while I didn't LOVE every shade I ordered all 12 for nostalgic purposes! Thanks for your time and effort to review these for us!
China Glaze is one of my favourite mainstream brands for coming up with really fun collections - I recon this is gonna be a popular one! Boy, those scattered holos are amazing! I thought Applejack should be an orange, but that's the only pony I know coz I had that as a kid, lol.
I know this is a super, super late comment on this video. But ... I am swatching today and playing "old" videos in the background. And I had to pop in to say that I LOVE Best Ponies Forever as a stamping polish. It has become my "go-to" gold stamping polish. Ditto with I Sea Ponies as a silver stamping polish.
Great swatches. I've already ordered them from 8ty8 Beauty and can't wait to get them. Love the holos. It's great to see a mainstream polish maker take some creative risks. My favorites are one polished pony and let your twilight sparkle.
Hi Phoebe, I do like some of these polishes but I think CG should have released this collection 4 years ago at the height of MLP popularity. Anyhoo, CG had the holographic OMG Collection that everybody went nuts over. CG also released the HoloGlam collection which didn't even hold a candle to the OMG collection. Ah, the good, old days...
Hi Phoebe :-) Just found out that 'Let Your Twilight Sparkle' now costs $25 on ebay! I think that's insane ;-( Love your reviews by the way and your piano playing. You are so very talentet :-)
wearing I Sea Ponies today going to close on a new house!! Now I'm going to have to move all my polishes....anyway, I compared it to the silvery ones in the Holographic Collection and it's stronger than those of course.
Overall I really like this collection a lot! I'm pretty new to collecting so I don't have very many of these colors. I'm really excited about I sea ponies, just got it yesterday. My 1st silver linear holographic! 😄 I plan on picking up most of them but I'll probably skip the 3 coater creams. Thank you for this review, it really helped me decide❤❤
thanks for the review my dear! the toppers and glitters aside from the holographic silver are my favorites for sure. Salon Perfect just put out a linear holographic polish in their red white and blue collection whatever its called i dont remember. it wasn't anything that blew me away though same as this cg one... oh well cant win them all right. at least they are trying something different!
Great video as always. I was wondering if you have tried the cuccio nail polish from transdesign. They are having a sale and Ive been tempted to try them.
Oh PS I just want to say again how much I appreciate the comparisons you're including. You don't happen to have Orly Miss Conduct to compare Party Cannon to, do you? Oh and also, holo needs one direct lighting source; multiple lights or diffuse lights (like a lightbox or ring light) will actually take away the holo. The best way I have found to show holo under artificial light is one strong halogen. Cristine of Simply Nailogical discusses this in her video about how she films (and you know she gets that holo doh).
I was so waiting to see your video of live application because you are the best, thank you so much. I'm a huge China Glaze fan and this collection is so amazing, I just buy it ! Thanks for the video again !
I have to say that China Glaze could have done a LOT better job on these formulas. The linear holo is the worst I've ever seen (admittedly I've only been into polish for a year, but in this day and age they should have used finer pigment). I don't understand why anyone would do a crelly formula that doesn't have glitters in it?? Also, technical question for you, I was under the impression jellies have no white in them? And crellies maybe have a little, and cremes perhaps a lot?
China Glaze has had three collections which had nothing but linear holographic polishes in, but only the weakest ones [Hologlam] are still floating around online. I'd love them to bring back the Kaleidoscope and/or the OMG ones back; I've never seen a Kaleidoscope one in the wild, and the OMG ones go for $$$ when the odd bottle pops up on eBay.
I thought I Just Canterlot looked like Cupcake Polish's Jolly from her Candyland collection... so I didn't pick this one up. Did I make a mistake? Anybody have both that can weigh in on the situation?
I think China glaze omg collection was linner holos. This is and older collection with thing like bottles called lol, ttyl and tmi. I really liked that collection, so hoping this will be good too.
I’ve been playing with this collection for a couple of weeks now…I’ve swatched them all, but I have 4 left to use still. There are a couple weird colors that I’ll never wear, but for the most part I like the collection. I wish they hadn’t put the white sand in Hay Girl Hay…it’s pretty but I will never wear it because of the sand. Too Busy Being Awesome is my favorite so far, too. Stained like crazy through 2 coats of Lumos base…but pretty enough to be worth it. HOWEVER…the caps. Gawd I hate the caps. Sure, they’re cute, but I hate the printed caps because they stand out on my racks, and I will swap the caps out with plain ones next time I destash China Glaze (haha). Plus, the caps are SHORT. Next to every single other China Glaze I have, the gap between the bottle and bottom of the cap is noticeably bigger. Same thing with the set my friend got from another store, and the ones that I saw at Sally’s today. Not diggin’ the caps at all. I do like the linear holo as a "barely there" holo, and I appreciate that as weak as the holo is, that it is far better than the original holos they made years ago.
I loved Hay Girl Hay except for the white dots in it. It would have been my fave except for the white crap in it. LOL It looked like bug eggs on my nail! I only bought the mini in it so I just chunked it in the trash. LOL
Great review Phoebs. Love love love this collection. Swatching it right now. Xo
can't WAIT to see your review!

I don't understand why ppl give so much hate to CG, like... is my favorite brand
Great video. Huge thanks for showing Kill 'Em With Kindness compared to Lemon Fizz. I couldn't tell if they were the same. I appreciate it!!

excellent dupe section as always! Excited for this collection!

such a beautiful collection. .
I love that black polish !
Excellent review, as always! 💅🏼 I love love love it when you show dupes, yay!!
I'm loving the "I sea ponies" over a solid black base.....so pretty!
I don't care about my little pony but UGH this collection is so GOOD!! it's really cohesive in my opinion. also just some great interesting shades
These are all really pretty. You gave me a lot to think about.
I REALLY love this collection. So much fun. Made me smile when you said Honor wanted to play w those rings, she's such a sweetie.

oh yes, you're right. I had forgotten :)
There's a MLP movie coming out in October, I think that's why they're doing the collab.
I enjoyed this collection! Thanks for the review. I really love the shimmer toppers!
Thank you sooo much for the swatches. I wasnt overwhelmed when I saw them online, but now Im purchasing 4!
yay! so glad I could help!
Great video as always! Looking forward to the next swatch and comparison video for the OPI Iceland collection!
Hi Phoebe :-) Just found out that 'Let Your Twilight Sparkle' now costs $25 on ebay! I think that's insane ;-(
Love your reviews by the way and your piano playing. You are so very talentet :-)
Thank you for the swatches. I love the polishes, they are summery.
A very thorough review, thank you!

I picked up Sweet as Pinkie Pie and Cutie Marks the Spot. I wish I'd gotten She's a Mane-iac now. :(
Bought two of them asap and Too Busy is my summer color 😍
Too Busy Being Awesome seems pretty similar to CG Shower Together. How does the Canterlot one compare to Zoya's Aurora or Finley?
thanks for the review my dear! the toppers and glitters aside from the holographic silver are my favorites for sure.

Great video as always. I was wondering if you have tried the cuccio nail polish from transdesign. They are having a sale and Ive been tempted to try them.
oh, nope I haven't tried those yet
Where's a polish named after Fluttershy? ☹️
Mollie R Hm good point. Is she not in the "Mane 6?" lol
Oh, actually, I'm pretty sure Kill 'Em With Kindness is Fluttershy's color. Weird they didn't put her name on it though.
Mollie R it might be copyrighted
Well they're all trademarked and have the TM at the end of their names.

I have started swatching them and so far I am not too happy with the cremes....they are sooooo runny. great review as always tfs :)
Hey! What polish do you have on your thumb when you're showing the bottles? Ty
It's Let Your Twilight Sparkle over black
if you use a base coat will the blue color still stain?
Is it safe to buy from that link you posted?
I've been shopping there for years with no issues. All the websites I suggest are places I've shopped myself
I was so waiting to see your video of live application because you are the best, thank you so much. I'm a huge China Glaze fan and this collection is so amazing, I just buy it !
Thanks for the video again !
Will this collection be solid at retail stores like Target I like only like one polish
they probably will get it in at Sally's Beaty supply, so that's a good place to get it in person
I have to say that China Glaze could have done a LOT better job on these formulas. The linear holo is the worst I've ever seen (admittedly I've only been into polish for a year, but in this day and age they should have used finer pigment).

And crellies maybe have a little, and cremes perhaps a lot?
Jenn W hi Jenn, you're mostly correct there, but replace the word white with pigment, cuz only a handful of polishes have white in them
Pls do the favorite holographic nail polish video🌹❤️
China Glaze has had three collections which had nothing but linear holographic polishes in, but only the weakest ones [Hologlam] are still floating around online.

Great video! To any uk-ers, nailpolishdirect are selling Songbird Serenade and the gold one seperately :)
I think China glaze omg collection was linner holos. This is and older collection with thing like bottles called lol, ttyl and tmi. I really liked that collection, so hoping this will be good too.
oh ya that's right, I had forgotten :)
I know it's not holographic, but CG Ugly Sweater Party really reminds me of Wheres the party canon at.

I need One Polished Pony 😍...well I don't neeeeed it, I really want it though 😅
Let your twilight sparkle reminds me of SC KJ blueberry hot rod. Maybe?
Mainstream has been terribly bleh this season with the exception of SC. tfs
