Ahhhh China Glaze. Putting one of these on is like wedging your feet into your comfiest (yet sparkly) slippers. You’re never disappointed and it always feels good.
Rodeo Fanatic is from the Rodeo Diva collection of Autumn 2008. I think we have already established that Rodeo Diva is one of China Glaze’s all time great collections. Love every single polish in the set, although I don’t own them all as yet. Still, Father Christmas needs something to bring down the chimney for me, right?
Application of this was
nothing short of wonderful. Two coats and it was opaque, shimmery, and had zero bald patches, dragging or clean-up.
It was slightly slower to dry than other polishes I’ve been using recently but nothing too worrying. Also I did this right before bed and I was impatient to get to sleep so it probably wasn’t that slow!
This is everything I desperately wanted OPI’s Glacier Bay Blues to be. It is a deep blue, swirled with green and turquoise, and has the most amazing shimmer particles within it.
It sounds mad but once you’ve got the topcoat on, it appears like the shimmer is bouncing
around below it, as though trapped under a sheet of glass or something.
Just look at this close-up. This is exactly how it looks on the nail. Stunning.
I can’t believe how long it took me to get around to trying this out.
It’s been weeks since I reviewed a China Glaze and Rodeo Fanatic has rekindled my love for them. In fact, I really want the rest Rodeo Diva collection. Argh.

I have it and I love it!!!! Its a fantastic colour and for such a cool tone there is a heat off it….it zings and zaps all over the place!
Fab….Fab….Fab!!!
Wow, I’m loving this. I know this might sound mad but it makes me think of a deep sparkling sea colour. Like something in a movie. I heart it!

plese please cut your nails cruella!!!
they do not look nice at all. they are very cheap hookerish looking, even though the colour is beautiful.
How lovely your nails look. I agree that this is the best collection. I bought it in bits and pieces. I just bought the last bottle on my last order.
This is next on my list, I’m slowly collecting all of the Rodeo Divas because I’ve loved them! This is so darned pretty on you!
That was a really great collection, I have a few of them. This one is lovely on you!
This is lovely, like having a pond on your nails or something. You don’t have a fish konad do you?
Yay – glad you like it 🙂
Fab indeed!
Nope, not mad. Just the sign of a real makeup addict!
Charming as ever. My mother always says that if you can’t say anything nice, you shouldn’t say anything at all.
Thanks Lucy! I’m so happy that you have the entire collection. I don’t own many full collections but I really want this one!
I knew you were collecting too – how are you getting on with them?
Which do you have? And thankyou!
Ohhh Lisey I have loads of Konad but I just can’t get to grips with the pesky thing 🙁
Hmmmm just looks black to me i’m not getting the love for it
It’s definitely not black. I need to do some work on my photography!
Hahahaha well at least I know my support group will be HUGE!

I have 6 or 7, too many to name! You should definitely get more from this collection! I’m going to get a few from the Retro Diva collection soon too, the purples look lovely.
And who the hell is this Posh to say things like that?! If you don’t like Helen’s nails, why are you bothering to read the blog?? Your nails do look really nice, just ignore her, she’ll get bored and stop with the immature comments.
I wasn’t that fussed about Retro Diva to be honest. I’m sure I’ll acquire a few over time but not that keen right now.
And thankyou. Someone who has nothing better to do with their time than troll people’s blogs, by the look of it.
