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!

Del Sol Rock Star

Hey guys! Sorry, for the lack of post yesterday, and not replying to comments. School has been hectic. My cat also went into the vet on Monday for her annual vaccinations, and the vet said one of them may cause her to have a fever and not feel. Of course, she wasn't feeling well later that night and all day yesterday. Wet canned food seemed to do the trick and liven her up, so she's been doing better now. I hate when she's not feeling well. I feel so helpless, plus I'm always so paranoid. It's not a good combo. :P

Back to nail polish! Rock Star is another Del Sol color changing polish I got. I really enjoy these polishes. I prefer them over the Claire's Mood color changing ones. The formula is better, the color selection/finishes are better, and they change color in the sun which I think you see more often than putting your hand under hot water! :P The only thing Claire's polishes have over these is the price. Del Sol's are $10, but totally worth it.

Rock Star (indoors)

Indoors Rock Star is a bright blue jelly base with blue glitter. This took 4 coats to achieve. The glitter is more sparse than more typical glitters, but it is definitely noticeably and very pretty!

Rock Star (outdoors)

Outdoors Rock Star turns into a jeweled toned green-blue it almost looks teal. The base changes color while the glitter remains blue. It's a very pretty combination.

I really love this one. I think it gives you the best of both worlds you get a blue and a green which are both very popular nail polish colors! The formula and wear on these are great and color change effect is instant. I have no complaints from this polish!

Happy Wednesday!
