China Glaze Atlantis Nail Lacquer Review, Photos, Swatches


China Glaze Atlantis Nail Lacquer

China Glaze Atlantis Nail Lacquer ($3.38 to $6.99) is just one of fifty new specialty shades slowly being released by China Glaze.Atlantis is a semi-opaque subdued teal jelly base with teal and multi-colored glitter laced throughout. I found two coats gave you a decent look, but three would really give you a more opaque look. The formula was easy to use, and I found it to be chip-proof and lasted all week. I like the color, but I’m confident that there are other shades I’d probably love more so. However, after trying this shade, I really want to check out Medallion, Solar Flare, and Treasure Chest…

Anyone else try China Glaze’s new glitter shades?

          LOL! Sorry, Sarah ;)

          I have three more planned for sure, and I think I’ll have a few more in the future, too. After all, there ARE 50!

    I love the glitter polish look but it’s a b**ch to remove. What is your best method? Acetone nail polish remover soak?

    • Christine

      I really don’t find them too terrible to remove! I take a cotton pad, pump Zoya’s polish remover on it, then I press it against each nail for 3-4 seconds and repeat on all fingers. Then I go back and try to remove – usually comes off and doesn’t add much work. (Seriously, I’m lazy, so I don’t like difficult!)

    Absolutely gorgeous! I just love that teal jelly base, it reminds me of the ocean. My wallet would hate it, but you should do more nail polish reviews. You do such good swatches!

    • Christine

      Friday, November 13, 2009

      Aw, thanks! I’ll try :) My boyfriend can’t stand the smell of nail polish, so I try not to kill his nose too often, lol!

    Ooooh, glitter! I just tried out some China Glaze and I’m liking it. I’ll have to get this next time I do an order.

    • Christine

      Saturday, November 14, 2009

      Which China Glazes did you try out, Christy? One of my favorite brands–great formula and love their color selection (I am a sucker for shimmer shades).

    I have a bunch of the new glitters, at least of the ones that have been released to stores. Atlantis is one of my favorites so far. I can’t wait to find preppy pink and candie. I know I can get them online, but I prefer to really see it before I buy it.

    • Christine

      Saturday, November 14, 2009

      What others do you think are worth getting?

      I know I have a pink one I swatched — I think it’s Preppy Pink, but I’m not 100% sure. (My memory is terrible.)
