Rainbow over Atlantis





This mani somehow reminds me of the sea...  (no seashore in Switzerland, though...)




My base color is Barielle End Of The Rainbow, a turquois/teal shimmer. While the color of this polish is very nice, the formula isn't. The picture doesn't really show it, but it was still half translucent after 4 (!) coats. So it's probably best used for layering, if you wanted to wear it alone, it would take like 6 coats...





To hide the still visible nail line, I dabbed China Glaze Atlantis in a slightly gradient-y way on my fingertips. Atlantis has a sheer teal base and is filled with small silver and holographic glitters.















I added one coat of Esence Better Than Gel Nails Top Sealer for a smooth finish. And yes, the blog post title is false, as I applied Atlantis over End Of The Rainbow, and not the other way round ;-)

    I have no idea how I could've missed China Glaze Atlantis until now, but it is stunning <3

      It's not soo late, it's still available at some places, e.g. Transdesign :-)

    Argh, mein Albtraum - 6 Schichten mit einem Lack damit er deckt :-O
    :-D
    Aber er macht schon was her und sieht wahnsinnig toll als Untergrund aus.
    Ich hab meinen Atlantis ja verkauft, weil wir nicht warm geworden sind...
    Wenn es ihn irgendwann mal nicht mehr geben sollte, bereue ich es bestimmt wieder ^_^
    Die Mani trägt schon mal dazu bei :-P

      Alleine tragen würde ich den Barielle definitiv nicht. Ich habe ja keine Probleme damit, wenn ich bei einem Lack auch mal 3-4 Schichten brauche, aber wenn er selbst nach vier noch nicht deckt, wird es selbst mir zu viel.

      Noch hast du ja etwas Zeit, dir zu überlegen, ob du Atlantis nicht doch brauchst ;-)

      Sieht sicher auch toll aus, ich bin halt einfach nicht so der rosa-Fan ;-)

      Bitte nicht sterben, sonst kannst du ja dann den Lack gar nicht mehr tragen ;-)

    Great combo! Glitter gradients are so much fun.

      I'm glad you like it! I'm having a hard time with glitter gradients, they never quite look like I intended...
