China Glaze It's a Trap-eze!

Hello lovelies! It's Saturday today and that means we have to celebrate with glitter. I don't know about you but I always tend to wear more glitter on the weekends, especially glitter bombs like the one I'm showing you today. This is the first one of the 4 polishes I've picked up from the Cirque du Soleil collection and it's the one I was most excited about.

It's a Trap-eze! (I'm not that crazy about the name, by the way) is a jelly sandwich in a bottle. It consists of a light grey, almost white jelly that is filled with different colors of glitter. I won't list all the colors because there is pretty much every color of glitter possible in this one. There are 2 sizes of hex glitter and the density is pretty decent from my point of view.

Because this is very sheer, it is quite hard to make it opaque. I used 3 coats for the swatches above and there was still some nail showing through. The glitter needs a little placement with the brush to be even, but I would say it spreads out easily and you really don't have to fish for it in the bottle. On my left hand I layered 2 coats over OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls to see how it looks with an opaque base underneath. I personally prefer it by itself because it has that nice jelly effect and the glitters look like they are floating between the jelly layers. Check out the picture below to see both looks.

I removed this last night and it wasn't too bad. Of course I used the foil method, but I had heard horror stories about this glitter not coming off either way. So I was happy that it didn't give me such a hard time. What do you think? Do you like polishes like this or are they too much for you?

  2. This reminds me of a candy store!! I'm afraid it's a little too much for me... Once again, I still live underneath a rock since I know this is a lot of people's favorite!

  4. Din pacate nu se mai gaseste in multe locuri. Asa ca daca ai posibilitatea s-o iei, eu zic sa te grabesti!
