China Glaze Riveting

Posted by yoshi2560 at 7:16 PM Labels: China Glaze, orange, review, Song of the Day
I normally can't do any color straight.  As pretty as they are, they just aren't great enough to be worn alone.  This is one of my exceptions.  I wanted to do something to it but nothing I thought of could do the color justice so I just left it.  And ladies, here's the kicker.  My guy friends even noticed this color, if that tells you anything.   The pictures are definitely NOT color accurate, my camera would not photograph them well.  In reality, this orange is much brighter, not so much of a deeper base, and has more of a golden tint.  It definitely shifts between the orange shimmer and the golden shimmer, so it looks different in every light.  I had some light bubbling, but I definitely used a thicker base coat layer than usual, so I take responsibility for that.  This was two coats and I reached full opacity with the slightest visible nail line not visible in person. Riveting launched with the Hunger Games collection and was meant to exemplify District 3.

Most color accurate
Read on for more pictures and review!






Least color accurate, but a good shot of all the shimmer
Pro's:
  • Good coverage.
  • Great shimmer (almost duochromy)
  • Looks so pretty for fall!
Con's:
  • Slight bubbling, but I take responsibility for that.
  • The color isn't incredibly unique but it's still one of my favorite oranges in my collection.
Overall, Riveting gets an A!

Song of the Day: Supremacy by Muse (from the new CD The 2nd Law.  This CD is absolutely incredible)
