China Glaze Atlantis

Hey everyone! I started back up at school yesterday, and I can already tell this semester is going to be a lot of work. I'm probably not going to be able to do daily posts all the time, but I will get a couple in each week. This China Glaze color came out with a ton of other specialty glitters back in Fall 2009. I regretfully didn't pick up Atlantis when it came out, but I was lucky to find it at Sally's a few weeks ago.

Atlantis
Atlantis is a medium teal jelly with holographic glitter.

This was about 3 fast coats, which probably means if I allowed it dry more it would be less sheer. I think this one builds up nicely or would look nice layered. I'm a sucker for blue-green colors, so I love this one. My only issue is personally these glitters do not wear on me well. These chip on my quickly, but sometimes you have to sacrifice something for a great shade!

Happy Tuesday!

  3. Oh I LOVE Atlantis.. probably one of my top 5 polishes. I love it by itself, the jelly and glitter is so gorgeous to me. I think I wore it for two weeks straight when I first got it, couldn't stop using it!

  4. I just picked this one up last week (or maybe the week before). I'd never seen it before and I snatched it up as fast as my little fingers could fly! LOL I might try to layer it over a similar teal.

  6. I have the same problem with glitter....for something that is such a pain to get off you would think it would wear like cement! Oh well!
