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!!!)
I agree!

I'm seconding this sentiment.
ReplyDeleteGREEN GREEN GREEN!!!
ReplyDeleteI would seriously stabba bish for a green set.
ReplyDeleteThey could even call it "Green with Envy" or something bitchin like that.
Cmooooon ChG it's so easy!!! XD
Pencil me in for the Green Party!
ReplyDeleteI have added a link to this from my Rimmel Play Fast "Camouflage" NOTD. More green. Period. :)
ReplyDeleteI'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
ReplyDeleteChG, we luffs you and want more pretty greens!
ReplyDeleteLooking for a pretty forest green was what brought me to the NB in the first place :)

I say, "Hellz yeah!" for more greens. The purples and yellows sound awesome as well.
ReplyDeleteHell to the yizzle, I would buy green. I don't have any greens.
ReplyDelete*YEEES* we want green! Lots and lots of wonderful green!
ReplyDeleteI'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!
ReplyDeleteGive us green! Go Scrangie!
ReplyDeleteI agree!
ReplyDeleteI'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!
I thought the exact same thing when I saw the blue collection.
ReplyDeleteGive us some greens, China Glaze! <3
I totally agree!!! Greens!! We need more greens!! Like our new president said, yes we can!!! Green!!
ReplyDeleteHells yes! The world needs more green!
ReplyDeleteyeaaaah this needs to happen stat. they are very stingy with releasing greens.
ReplyDeletehere's the MUA thread in case anyone didn't see it.

Hey Scrangie!
ReplyDeleteI 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.

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...
ReplyDeleteGreetings from Slovenia EU (you have a lot of fans from here too ;)) and keep up the good work - we appreciate it!!
Totally agree! WE WANT GREENS!
ReplyDeleteI've had a fever too, but I'm feelin' a bit better today!
Hopefully you'll get better quick! Being sick sucks!
HUGS!!!!
aprilrobin I think I love you LOL
ReplyDeleteOMG OMG OMG OMG!!!! *drool* I could kill someone for a collection like that!! GREEN!!!
ReplyDeleteIf 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.
ReplyDeleteYes! Yes yes yes!!!
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeletealso looove the purples and the mustardy-limey yellows, i love that they arent lemon yellow ! omg!if only...........
ReplyDeletePS: @ aprilrobin...............
ReplyDeletedon't toy with my heart like that!!!! some of those colors are to kill for!!!!!!!!!
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....
ReplyDeleteI 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~
ReplyDeleteForest Green. Dark, dark green. Please for the love polish, I beg you.
ReplyDeleteOMGGG I thought this was real and almost orgasmed
ReplyDeleteOh, yes! Please! Green!!
ReplyDeletegreen pls.
ReplyDeleteLMAO!
ReplyDeleteBut I hate green! *hides*
I would SO buy that collection! Hope Chg will hear our call!
ReplyDeleteYes, I would SO buy the whole collection! I still have yet to find my perfect green... the one polish that I want SO badly!
ReplyDeleteEverything everyone else said
ReplyDeleteBring back the lovely Cat's Eye!
ReplyDeleteOh hell yes, bish! :D
