China Glaze Prismatic Collection - Magpie Nirvana!

You'll remember last week I showed you the gorgeous Ray-Diant from the China Glaze Prismatic Collection, well, as promised, today I have a look at the entire collection for all of your magpie wants. Each polish is a densely packed holographic glitter with ultra fine to small glitter particles that can be used in a single coat, built up for bling or used as a base for an even bigger glitzier glitter, I did with Rainbow Connections and Ray-Diant.

There are six polishes in this collection and they differ slightly with regard to the jelly suspension and colour of micro glitter so each have a distinctive coloured finish. Let's have a look at the swatches first, then each polish close up.

Nice, eh? Now let's have a closer inspection of the individual polishes..

Polarized from Prismatic 

Polarized is the most silver of the lot with multi coloured micro glitters. 

Prism from Prismatic

Prism has all of the elements of Polarized but with more blue/purple microglitters so shines purple in the light. 

Optical Illusion from Prismatic

Optical Illusion is a blue/green offering with some purple duochrome glitters. 

Full Spectrum from Prismatic

Full Spectrum, while very like Prism, finishes to a pinker hue than the others. Very pretty. 

Liquid Crystal from Prismatic

Liquid Crystal is probably the most duo chrome of the collection. Although it's packed full of multi coloured glitters the final effect is a purple/blue hybrid, depending on how the light hits it. 

Ray-Diant from Prismatic

Ray-Diant has a greenish hue but changes in front of your eyes, depending on the angle and the light. It was my first from the collection and is probably still my favourite.

As with all glitters, I'd advise you use a base coat as when removing them, they have a tendency to scratch the nail bed. A top coat is also a must to even out the many, many glitter particles and prevent snags. Please don't allow removal to put you off these stunning polishes, I've yet to meet a glitter that's any match for Cutex Moisture Guard and a sheet of Plenty.

The Prismatic collection is available now from Beauty Emporium for €7.50 per polish. What say ye?

China Glaze - Ray-Diant - Prismatic Collection

Ray-Diant from the China Glaze Prismatic collection is probably one of the densest glitter polishes I've ever had the pleasure to use. One of six stunning multichrome glitters, it's my first purchase of the lot and I've fallen for it so quickly that I've just pressed purchase on the other five but couldn't wait for their delivery to show you this one.

With pewter and silver micro glitter, pink, green, silver, blue, yellow and red circular glitters, this is the only polish that's ever taken the sting out of me missing out on OPIs Mad as a Hatter from the Alice in Wonderland collection (it haunts my dreams).

Ray-Diant: China Glaze Prismatic

There is no picture that will truly convey to you the sparkle & shine of this polish, I spent a good hour taking pictures and WTFing as I couldn't quite capture its beauty. As for formulation, Ray-Diant is set in a thick jelly so thin coats are need for application but even with one coat, the nail is covered and taking eyes of of heads with ease. Always be sure to use a top coat with a polish like this, the multiple glitters will leave a rough finish but one coat of Seche Vite or similar smoothes that right out and allows every speck to sparkle.

On its own its subtle enough to get away with an office manicure, absolutely it's an ideal pedicure polish but me, being the ridonkulous magpie that I am, couldn't help but try on a coat of my other favourite glitter, Rainbow Connections from the OPI Muppets collection. Wanna see what that looks like?

Rainbow Connections over Ray-Diant. Magpie Nirvana! 

Priced at a hugely reasonable €7.50 for the quality of polish involved, I can't recommend Ray-Diant enough. As I've said I've ordered the rest of the collection and will be sure to let you see just how gorgeous I know they will be once they arrive. 

What think ye? Bling enough?
