Haul: Ulta3 Polishes + NOTD

I really love the China Glaze Holiday Joy collection. Unfortunately I can't justify buying it at the moment, so I thought I'd check if I could get the same kind of colours from my favourite super cheap brand for nail polishes, Ulta 3. Lucky for me I found brandy wine, which looks really similar to Cranberry Splash. I also got some glitters, lollypop lilac (which I thought could be close to Champagne Kisses) and fruit tingle which is a fluro pink.

So far I've used everything except fruit tingle. I'm a bit dissapointed with the red glitter though. The glitter particles are tiny and the formula is so thin. However, put over brandy wine it looks amazing!

The blue glitter has a much better formula, but is still not a glitter polish you could use by itself (unlike the OPI muppets collection). Lollypop lilac is really nice glittery light pinky purple, however is nothing like Champagne Kisses.

Here is a quick NOTD I did using red glitter over brandy wine, and blue glitter over lollypop lilac. They didn't last very long - this was taken after less than a day and you can already see chipping. Usually ulta3 lasts longer than this for me, so it could just be because my nails are in such poor condition.
