China Glaze Glitters "Atlantis"

Hello my dear addicts!

Today I would like to review one of my favorite Glitters from China Glaze, China Glaze Atlantis:





To me, Atlantis is perfection in a bottle, I just love, loooooove it! The Color is a medium teal, which is very opaque with only one coat and shows full color with about 3 coats. Added to the color, is tons, tons and tons of medium sized glitter particles. I can just sit in front of the bottle and stare at it all day long, I bet you guys this polish must have hypnotizing powers, at least with me *chuckle*





The base of this is sort of jelly like, not quite as jelly as Ruby Pumps though. Despite all the glitter, it does apply evenly and smooth, which I like a lot





I always add a thick coat of topcoat though, to make it all smooth on the surface. Taking the polish off though can be quite challenging. What really helped my out, is a peace of felt. I was using the felt instead of the cotton wad and it worked soooo much better, since the cotton wad kept dissolving and parts of it kept sticking to my nail, yuck! If you can't get your hands on felt, try soaking your fingers in polish remover for a couple of minutes, this helps to dissolve the glitter coat. Just remember to use a biiiiiiiiig potion of hand lotion afterwards, as this methos dries out your skin like hell!





I also combined Atlantis with a matte topcoat, here I used Essie's matte about you





Doesn't that look like lovely frosted goodness? The Glitters seem to work quite well with matte top coats, i have to do some further experiments *winks*
