I would say no. I own “only gold for me” and they label it as a topcoat.. so when actually applying it, it isn’t an opaque gold glitter. There’s a lot of space in between each piece of glitter so you kind of have to strategically place each piece if you want to get an even look. Now my guess (based on the fact that I have 2 other glitter polishes from China glaze) is that “blonde bombshell” is going to apply much more opaque, plus there are more shapes of glitter in it.
I would personally suggest going for the China Glaze one but if you’re looking for more of a little bit of glitter to go overtop another color go for “only gold for me”. Hope this helps 🙂

I’ve been trying to be so good when it comes to polishes lately, well, since the fall Chanel 2011 release anyhow… And then China Glaze has to do Some Like it Haute. I can’t decide if I wait for swatches will they be out by the time I try to get one??? Or if I try to rush and get it will I be disappointed I spent the money?! Oh the deep quandry and crisis! Good thing I’m not in charge of something serious like monetary policy or industriual environmental regulations. My brain cells are too absorbed in deciding the ” to be or not to be” of polish purchasing.

I already got 2 online in the uk, how come we actually got one collection first?! haha no way complaining, but Marry a Millionaire and Love Marilyn are amazing! I just this second finished painting my nails with MaM and I am in love with how sparkly!

Has anyone seen these at Sally’s or Ulta yet? I can’t wait!
I have been stalking transdesign.com with no luck too.
Christine, will you be reviewing them? I think with all the other brands doing the gltiter craze, there are def some dupes in this collection.

I saw the collection today at my local nail supply store. I picked up Marry a Millinaire and Some Like It Haute. I am currently wearing Some Like It Haute right now over Sally Hansen Grey Area and I am in LOVE!!!! The holo glitter particles are very obvious and so pretty to look at!

I cannot wait for these to hit the stores. I have to get all of them. I absolutely love Marilyn, so owning these isn’t an option, I have to get them!
