To China Glaze: A Special Message from Mazoo (and the rest of us!)




Hello China Glaze,

I hope you are well. I however, am not. I have a fever. And the only cure is more green nail polish.

You may remember the Bahama Blues Collection from Winter 2008. This is probably because you made it. I remember it too, because I bought the whole thing. You know what else I would buy? A green version. Serious.

I have taken the promotional picture for the Bahama Blues Collection and used my "mad photoshop skillz" to make it look a tad more "foresty". Yes, I know that isn't a word. I even posted the picture on the MakeUpAlley Nail Board to conduct a little market research. The reaction from all who posted seemed to indicate that ladies would "stabba bish" or "cut a ho" to get their hands on a set. If you aren't familiar with such colloquialisms, that means that these ladies would really, really like some more greens.

I also used the aforementioned photoshop skillz to make a purple version, and a yellow. These versions were also highly regarded by nail board ladies, but honestly, those bishes can wait. I want some greens.

I have come to the completely unbiased conclusion that green shades equals money in the bank. The frenzy over your own Emerald Sparkle? That was no accident. The crazy prices girls are paying on eBay for OPI Rainforest, Jasper Jade & Golf Course Green? That's because we LOVE the greens. Supply is not meeting demand. Suzi thinks that we all want more red. She is WRONG. Don't be like Suzi China Glaze, don't go there girlfriend.

In closing, I would just like to beg unashamedly for some green goodness.

pleasepleasepleasepleaseplease.

Yours Sincerely,

Mazoo.


(Note from Scrangie: Thank you so very much for letting me post this, Mazoo! To everyone, please spread the word!! WE WANT GREENS!!!)

  6. I'm a newly into Nail Polish, so this is not the view of an 'extremist' collector who likes the wacky colours, but even I could not get over the lack of greens out there - EVERYWHERE!!! I may have to resort to mixing up my own (not sure how at the moment). And yet there is so much blue avail? Whats the aversion to green - get on with it!!! Sarah Jane in the UK

  13. I'm not even a green fiend due to my skin tone, but I would buy the set just to stare at them! Do it, China Glaze!! If you don't, no one will!

    I'd love more greens!
    I love chartreuse and lime greens too, though.
    And of course, Emerald Sparkle was a dream.
    I <3 glitters, duochromes, sparklies!

  19. Hey Scrangie!

    I had fun making a bunch of these a bit ago, ChinaGlaze has seen them though. But.. a girl can dream. Check 'em out. The teal is my favorite.

  20. I have just bought two great greens from Stargazer (135, 138). I would like to see some your swatches of this brand. Some colors are really unique, but there is nearly any swatches - the brand is not very known, I guess...
    Greetings from Slovenia EU (you have a lot of fans from here too ;)) and keep up the good work - we appreciate it!!

  21. Totally agree! WE WANT GREENS!
    I've had a fever too, but I'm feelin' a bit better today!
    Hopefully you'll get better quick! Being sick sucks!
    HUGS!!!!

  23. OMG OMG OMG OMG!!!! *drool* I could kill someone for a collection like that!! GREEN!!!

    ReplyDelete
  24. If CG took your advice and made exactly the collection as is in the picture, I would flip out. I'd buy two. And one for my mom. LOL.

    ReplyDelete
  25. I want the green that should have been a part of the ChG Ink collection. Not a neon lime green, a neon kelly green. The kind that screams St Patty's day in Boston. Maybe with sparkles like Blue Sparrow and Flying Dragon have.

    ReplyDelete
  26. also looove the purples and the mustardy-limey yellows, i love that they arent lemon yellow ! omg!if only...........

    ReplyDelete
  27. PS: @ aprilrobin...............
    don't toy with my heart like that!!!! some of those colors are to kill for!!!!!!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  28. I'd TOTALLY buy an all green collection! Especially if one of the shades looks like a NP version of Mint Chocolate Chip ice cream green. With pretty glass flecks in it. Then my life would be complete! For a week anyway....

    ReplyDelete
  29. I was searching EVERYWHERE today in a beauty supply store for a mid-tone or mint green. Nothing. Nada. They had blue. They had purple. Yellow too. If China Glaze made a green collection it would be the answer to many of our prayers/desires/madness. Light to Vampy green...just the thought makes me drool. How often do we get to hear or see "vampy" green? I'm actually looking for a mint green (like 80's Tic Tac) all to no avail. Please...please..more green~

  30. Forest Green. Dark, dark green. Please for the love polish, I beg you.

    But I hate green! *hides*

    ReplyDelete
  33. I would SO buy that collection! Hope Chg will hear our call!

    ReplyDelete
  34. Yes, I would SO buy the whole collection! I still have yet to find my perfect green... the one polish that I want SO badly!
