I've been sent a preview of the Retro Diva Collection and the colors are gorgeous, with depth and a bit of shimmer, which will be perfect with Fall fashions. Early favorites for me are Cord, Let's Groove and Short & Sassy, a cranberry shade which I think will be an everyday neutral. Cord was a surprise, because although the color is listed as dove grey, on the nail it's warmer than most greys I've tried (and have a hard time wearing), with almost a taupe hue to it once it's on the nail.
If you like less intense shades, you might like Cruisin', which to me is more of a copper shade or Street Racing, which is a multi-tonal gold/apricot with a bit of red. It's definitely the most unusual color in the collection.
The China Glaze Retro Diva Nail Polish Collection has a suggested retail price of $ 6.50 and will be available in July at Sally Beauty
and through salons and professional beauty supply stores nationwide.
