China Glaze Elephant Walk - On Safari Collection

Today, I have for you China Glaze Elephant Walk - a perfectly named polish. This week I am showcasing polishes from the current China Glaze On Safari collection for Fall 2012. I must say that Fall collections are by far my favorite, and this collection as a whole is stunning. It is filled with beautiful cremes, a few shimmers, and some fun glitters. I also love the general theme and think the polishes are very aptly named. 

Color
Elephant Walk is a beautiful grey with a light silver shimmer. The gray tone has almost a green undertone on my skin, which is quite stunning when mixed with the silver shimmer. The contrasting shimmer color is subtle but gives the polish an interesting textural feel. I certainly don't have any color like this in my collection. 

For reference, here is a bottle shot of Elephant Walk (middle) compared to Hook and Line (left) and Pelican Gray (right). 

Texture and Formula

The application on this was nice. It was a little thicker than some of he other polishes in the collection, but it certainly wasn't goopey. It applied very well to my nails and dried quickly. It also had a great sheen on its own. The swatches in this post are taken without a top coat on. 

The Verdict

I'm really loving this polish. It feels incredibly fresh for fall. It is certainly a new take on grey. I also really love the way it brings out the pink in my skin. I will definitely be wearing this frequently this upcoming season. What do you think about Elephant Walk?

Stay beautiful!
