Today I have three polishes from The Giver Collection by China Glaze to share with you! I will review New Birth, History of the World, and The Outer Edge in this post. I have to admit I was pretty disappointed in History of the World and New Birth. They are both cremes and both have less than perfect formulas.The Outer Edge is good as a glitter topper, but is nothing special. Let's get started!
New Birth
 |
| 2 coats of History of the World under 1 coat of Seche Vite |
China Glaze History of the World is gorgeous deep purple creme that sometimes looks blue. This polish makes me want to drink a grape soda. As much as I love the color, I was sorely disappointed by the formula. My bottle is very thick. The polish was stringy by the time I finished painting one nail. I hope this is just a fluke with my bottle and they are not all like this. It made the polish difficult to use. Coverage was achieved in 2 coats. The wonderful color may not be worth the difficulty of applying the polish. History of the World has a long drying time, even when using Seche Vite.

New Birth
 |
| 3 coats of New Birth under 1 coat of Seche Vite |
China Glaze New Birth is a very pale blue creme. This is a clean, pretty color that would be perfect as as "something blue" mani for a wedding. Unfortunately, the formula leaves much to be desired. I needed 3 coats to achieve the coverage I wanted. New Birth doesn't try very well. I had to do this mani twice because of damage to the polish at least a half hour after I finished polishing. The formula of New Birth is comparable to the formula of Sinful Colors Sugar Rush. I expect better from China Glaze.

The Outer Edge
The Outer Edge consists of small white and some holo glitter in a clear base. This polish has the best formula of the three polishes. It applies evenly and smoothly. Removal was very easy. The index finger has two coats while the other 3 fingers have one coat. One coat provided plenty of glitter coverage. This polish makes me think of snow.
Overall, unless you can't live without these colors, I would not recommend purchasing them. History of the World and New Birth have disappointing formulas, while The Outer Edge is different but is not a must buy.
Did you have trouble with these polishes?
