Fainting Couch on Atlantis

Hello ladies,

I suppose it's my turn to faint over China Glaze Atlantis. I will throw myself on the fainting couch that is a heap of those who have previously swooned. For the ladies who have since recovered their senses, please bring smelling salts or philters comprised of 100% acetone to help awaken the rest of us.

Yes, these pictures will enlarge. If you succumb to the sparkle and arise in a mysterious underwater kingdom, do not blame your whimiscal narrator. This polish may also attract mermaids.






Prettier than a perched bluebird, no?  

This is where I usually discuss application, but Atlantis is so beautiful, it's inconsequential. If you enjoy mesmerizing holographic glitter, the color teal and a jelly formula Atlantis requires purchasing. For the purists, I am wearing three coats. With one coat of CND Air Dry, there is some texture, but the finish doesn't feel rough. I have no real criticism of Atlantis. I feel a need to return to philosophy class and try to learn if this polish could possibly exist.

If you ladies need me, I will be using my fingernails to conjure peacocks, a hippocampus, a gathering of oceanic sirens and a muscular man with a trident.

Happy painting, ladies.

  2. This looks outrageous on super-long nails! I've resisted the sparkly joy of Atlantis for far too long. Heading to Head2Toe just as soon as my eyes recover from the sight of your sparkletasmic nails. I need more mermaidy-ness in my life.

  8. Beautiful! You should let us know how well/not well it removes for you. I had issues getting it off, but I think I'm inept at removing glitter polishes.

  11. I hope the Trident-toting muscleman arrived.

    I have this, and am saving it for a special blogger event I am going to in a couple of weeks. I swatched one nail and never wanted to take it off! Can't wait to wear it "proper". Looks amazing on you.

  13. Skye: Thanks, sweetie! Atlantis would be a perfect color for you. Every time I wear blue polish, I think of you. I hope these make it to your side of the equator much sooner than usual. <3

    danielle: Thank you! Long nails and holographic glitter make good companions. The mermaid's lure is impossible to resist. I am glad you are getting a bottle. :)

    thriszha: Thanks so much, dear lady. <3

    chocaddict: Thank you! Whatever world is responsible for such a polish certainly belongs on my travel wish list. ;)

    Amarena: Thank you.<3

    Lucy: Thanks so much! I am all ready for my tail fin to emerge. With such fingertips, I think I can forgo the pedi. ;)

  14. Amabile: Just when you thought it was safe...

    Shayla: Thank you! I didn't find removal to be too difficult. Under the apothecary label, my review for Zoya Remove + has a tutorial about using felt for removing polish. I hope that helps and keeps up your enthusiasm for glitter. :)

    Thank you for thinking of me in your tag. That is so sweet! <3

    Mama Jen: If not on your fingertips, then the top of your wish list is a good location for Atlantis. ;)

    Brooke: Thanks so much! I am glad you love it too. <3

    Helen: I think I am going to hand my boyfriend a trident. There's a weekend activity! I hope you have great fun at your blogger event. Your sparkly nails will definitely make an impression!

    Evil Angel: Thanks, love! You need more China Glaze specialty polishes in your life. You rock the holo!
