The exciting collection previews aren’t over yet! This time we’re sharing the China Glaze Texture collection for Summer 2013. This collection features six bright shades with a unique feature, a matte texturized finish!

From left to right: Unrefined – Bump & Grind – Itty, Bitty & Gritty – Toe-tally Textured – In The Rough – Of Course!

These are similar to matte glitters such as the OPI Liquid Sand polishes, but they are a tad different. Let’s take a look up close.

  • Unrefined: Bubblegum pink
  • Bump & Grind: Bright magenta
  • Itty, Bitty & Gritty: Peachy pink

  • Toe-Tally Textured: Bright orange
  • In The Rough: Pastel green
  • Of Course!: Bright blue

These look very interesting! The finish looks gritty but feels fairly soft. They are meant to mimic sand and we think they were very successful in creating that effect. The China Glaze Texture shades bring a subtle 3D effect and unique finish to your nails, for those looking to try something different. The shades are fun, bright and very appropriate for summer. We can’t wait to try these!

What do you think about this collection? Which color would you like to add to your collection?
