China Glaze Atlantis

Hello again! I've got another treat for you today! If you've seen my recent nailsupplies.us haul, you know that one of my purchases was the amazing China Glaze Atlantis, a glitter that has been on my wishlist for some time now. Today I decided to layer it over yesterday's Essie School of Hard Rocks manicure.

2 coats of China Glaze Atlantis over Essie School of Hard Rocks, top coat of Out the Door
Unfortunately, we had no sun today, so all the pictures are with artificial light. 

here's a bottle picture to see the amazingness  of the sparkles

 Atlantis is an aqua/teal green glitter in a pretty sheer jelly base. The glitter is holographic, which makes for this polish to look like jewels on your nails. Maybe it's the fact that I've layered it over a green-based teal polish, but this looks more green in person that many of the swatches I've seen on the internet. I think I've captured it pretty accurately in my photos. If you wanna use it on its own, you will probably have to use about 4 coats to get it opaque. I personally think that would be a waste of this beauty.

Personally, I love love love this polish, but I wouldn't wear it to work/school. I think it's something you wear on a night out (hey it's Saturday night!) or on special occasions. What do you think?

  3. I agree. It's a little too funky for work. I would wear it for the weekend. I love how fun and colorful it is.

  5. I think they came out together. Back in 2009 when ChG released their glitters collection. I love all their glitters, but this one really stands out!
