Beauty Review: China Glaze Midnight Kiss Nail Polish


Recently I received a complimentary bottle of China Glaze Midnight Kiss nail polish, a creamy gold which is part of the China Glaze Limited Edition Holiday 2010 Collection. Words can not express how much I love this color. It's so brilliant and mesmerizing, you'll want to wear it every day! It goes without saying that this polish is perfect for the holiday season but I say wear it whenever if you want to boost your mood and amp up your look.
