China Glaze Blue & Green glitters - Luna, Electric Lilac, Blue Hawaiian, Meteor Shower, Atlantis, Sour Apple

This is the final installment of the China Glaze Glitters, hope you enjoyed the show! I will line up the rest of the series so they are all together. In this post, I chose the cool toned glitters to be layered over a very pale lilac color, Agent Lavender. All of the glitters are one coat only over one coat of the lilac color. Luna and Atlantis are the most beautiful out of this lot, Blue Hawaiian, Electric Lilac and Sour Apple have synthetic glitter in them, they give quite a smooth finish. Meteor shower really sucks, the thick metal glitter just doesn't look good, the grittiness is visible.

Luna 1 coat over a lilac base



Electric Lilac 1 coat over a lilac base



Blue Hawaiian 1 coat over a lilac base



Meteor Shower 1 coat over a lilac base



Atlantis 1 coat over a lilac base



Sour Apple 1 coat over a lilac base




Agent Lavender, the base color, 1 coat

Wow, Luna and Electric Lilac look stunning! And I never knew a colored base (and LILAC at that) could bring out the color of the glitter so much! I mean, I never would've expected Blue Hawaiian or Sour Apple to look SO vivid on top of a lilac color~ You live and learn, I guess. :D
Thanks for the update~

The real beauty in Atlantis shows up in the depth of the color at 3 coats. It's simply gorgeous.

Dovile thank you very much, I was experimenting with different base colors for the glitters because I did not want to pile up the glitter and this was a pale cool color maybe pale blue would work even better!
