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!
Ohhh I love this one! I felt the same way, the polishes were all really cute but I only really needed one.. or two haha :P

Hahaha I totally think of Admiral Ackbar each time I see this polish. It's awesome, definitely on my wish list!
ReplyDeleteI think this is the best swatch I've seen of this polish yet! I have a bottle of my own to wear some time. =)
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful! This is the only polish from the collection I really want. And I alwaaaays think of "It's a trap!" when I see this lacquer. :D
ReplyDeleteRebecca I swatched this in my blog and it was the only color I felt I need the from the collection as well. The other colors are pretty but nothing particularly unique.
ReplyDeleteomg hahahah!
ReplyDeletei love this, like a jelly sandwich in a bottle!
my sister is getting it for me tomorrow!!!! as well as a couple of the others. but I am pretty excited about this one! :D
ReplyDeleteI'm getting this one for Christmas! xD I'm the same, I love all polishes with milky bases that remind me of cupcakes!
ReplyDeleteThis is really pretty!
ReplyDeleteFor 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.
ReplyDeleteLove this polish - this is on my wishlist :) Your nails do look like a cupcake! Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteIt´s so special!
ReplyDeleteYup snap, only bought this one, it arrived today and I can't wait to play with it :)
ReplyDeleteOMG! That polish is too gorgeous! I would totally buy this.

LOL I love your last image! This color is such an explosion of glitter ... I don't know if I love it or hate it. I love your swatches though, you have such perfect nails.
