I'm in for a long haul tonight with the LO, she's up and not wanting to sleep, most likely because she's stuffed up. I was hoping to organize my stash tonight, but that's never going to happen with the way my life has been lately. I've been wanting to get an Alex but I can't make it to Ikea with LO in tow and still manage to load it into my car. One can dream though!
I have tonight a commercial crelly glitter by China Glaze called It's A Trapeze, from the Cirque du Soleil Worlds Away collection. This was released last winter and I kept forgetting that I had it my stash(aka kitchen). Its got multi sized and mult color hex glitter in a white crelly base. In comparison to similar indie glitters, I found the formula to be severely lacking. The formula was very watery and sheer, and it kept wanting to pool along the sides of my nails and flooding my cuticles. I had to dab some of the polish on to even out the pooling, so I ended up using about two and half coats for this mani. It didn't dry gritty or matte, so all it needed was a layer of SH Insta Dri to hasten drying.
The end result might be worth the hassle of the formula though... I really love the pop of color against the white base. I suppose if you have more patience than I do, you can get this applied more easily than I did. Have you tried this one yet?

I got this polish when it first came out - I had other issues than it being too thin though. But you are right, the end result is more than worth the trouble. I just love this one.
ReplyDeleteLOL, you're right that it's worth the trouble! However, I think I've passed this one along to another person, so hopefully she's been able to enjoy it more than I did!
