China Glaze - It's A Trap-eze!

Good morning!

You've no doubt been seeing a lot of posts around the blog world about the new Cirque du Soleil Collection from China Glaze.
It is a cute collection but I decided that I only needed to own one of the polishes. And I'll be showing you it today!


China Glaze - It's A Trap-eze!
Isn't this lovely? A white jelly that is basically overflowing with bright glitter.


The formula is a bit tricky to work with because there is just so much glitter in the polish. You've gotta take your time spreading it out, but it does dry quickly.
I needed to apply three coats to cover up all bald spots.
You definitely want to use a thick coat or two of topcoat because it is a little lumpy.


It's just such a fun polish to wear! Anything that has glitter in a milky base is a win for me. I just like it when my nails look like cupcake frosting. Too cute.


I definitely recommend this one, guys! Pick it up if you see it.

Lastly... I like this polish because it reminds me of this:


Hahaha!

  11. I'm getting this one for Christmas! xD I'm the same, I love all polishes with milky bases that remind me of cupcakes!

  12. For me, I feel like the glitter is a bit too dense. The depth of glitter in layers of jelly base gets lost. I feel the same about Candy Shop. The good thing (for me) is that I can experiment with diluting the glitter concentration; the only tricky thing would be making sure the base stays jelly.
