China Glaze Exotic Encouters and Jessica Platinum Wishes

Did you have fun shopping on Cyber Monday?  Surprisingly I didn't spend very much time online so I missed a lot of the sales, like the Saks and Nordstrom's first designer cuts online.  Luckily I pre-saled what I wanted already so I should be getting those in the mail any day soon.  My day was spent going to the movies with LO to see Life of Pi(sort of a letdown after reading the book several years ago) and then walking around the LA County Museum of Art.  I discovered a new floor at LACMA at the end of the day and now I want to go back and explore some more.

I'm on a teal kick and today I have China Glaze's Exotic Encounters from the On Safari collection to show you.  This is really a gorgeous cream shade and the formula was flawless.  Only two coats and it went on easily and smoothly.

I wanted to layer something over it so I tried Jessica's Platinum Wishes, a sparkly blue holographic glitter.  It appears chunky in the bottle but surprisingly it's actually a really fine glitter topcoat. It's not dense at all either, and shown below is one coat over Exotic Encounters.

I love the color of ChG Exotic Encounters and I'm planning on adding that to my collection, whereas I was a little disappointed in the Jessica - I was expecting a denser more chunky glitter by appearance of the bottle but it was completely the opposite.  Very deceiving, Jessica!  I do like the sparkliness of it but at the same time I feel like I already have a similar polish in my collection.
