Stop! It's a Trap(eze)!

Happy hump day! It feels so weird for me because the last few weeks I've had Mondays off for snow, sickness, or holidays... so Wednesday feels like Tuesday! Anyway, we're nearing the end of February, hope you get all your comments in before March 2nd because I'm drawing a winner sometime that day! I'm going to do this again next month but I have to round up some prizes first :)

Today's post is China Glaze It's a Trap-eze. At first, I was really overwhelmed with the amount of glitter in the bottle and I didn't like it much. I thought it'd be hard to work with and lumpy and too much going on to really be pretty, but, happily, I was wrong! My glitter-lovin' heart loved this! This is about three coats, I believe... but my notes are basically that I was just really excited about this so they're no help. No top coat in this photo but I'm sure it would help with any texture issues, although all the glitters sat flat on the nail.


What a glitter beauty! Do you own this one? I'm glad I didn't sell my bottle before trying it because I'm sort of in love!

xoxo,
Amanda

I love this polish but I've only ever swatched it! I haven't actually worn it. I need to fix that.

I loved this so much too...until I had to remove it. Even with the foil method it was pretty stubborn. Small price to pay for a great glitter polish. I'm going to have a love/hate relationship with it :)

I accept blame. I am not sorry.

That's what happened to me too! Try it and you'll love it :)

Me too!

Amanda, Nail Polish Enthusiast said...

Me too, actually. I have so many pretty indies I've only swatched!

I had no problems either. Seems like this varied a lot from batch to batch because I've heard people also didn't get as much glitter as others.

Oooh! The effect of the "crelly" base is pretty cool; you can see the other layers of glitter through the haze of the top layer. :D Btw, I'm so glad I found that term (crelly) on your blog, since I just got 3 similar glitter polishes from a friend in South Korea, and I had no idea how to describe them. :)
