China Glaze Skyscraper

Hello my lovelies! It's been quite a while since my last post. I'm currently studying for a very important exam. You can't imagine the volume and difficulty of information I have to ingest. So basically I've been doing nothing else (besides sleeping and eating) for the last 5 days. I wasn't able to post because frankly, I hardly can bring myself to think about polish. I'm so stressed out! So this will be the last post for another few days. The exam is on Thursday and I will be back after that. Ok, now let's get to the fun part. 

China Glaze Skyscraper indoors, artificial light
This polish comes from last year's fall collection and it's been in my stash for a while now but I didn't get the chance to post swatches. I even wore it for New Year's and I think it's a great festive polish: sparkly and elegant at the same time. 


Skyscraper is a blue jelly packed with blue and silver glitter. And I do mean packed! It's one of those glitters that can easily be opaque in 2 coats. For the swatches I used one thin and one medium coat and it was perfection! It does require a few coats of top coat to be smooth but I don't mint a little grittiness. 


I would have loved to photograph this in the sun but it was very rainy back when I wore it. Either way, I think this is a gorgeous polish and I know I will wear it again and again with every chance I get.
