Stash Swatch Initiative: China Glaze It's a Trap-eze!

Hi!

I have a more recently released polish on the blog today! This is China Glaze's It's a Trap-eze! It's a Trap-eze!, besides having an awesomely nerdy name, is an exciting, multi-colored glitter bomb in a sheer, white base. There are two sizes of hex glitters in a rainbow of colors. It's a party in a bottle!

For these swatches, I've used three coats of It's a Trap-eze! plus one coat of Gelous and one of Seche Vite over a base of Seche Clear. Formula is better than I expected -- it is thick with all that glitter, but surprisingly easy to work with. The glitter doesn't clump up or drag/bald much. I expect that dry time on this would be long and suspect waiting in between coats for the polish to fully dry would be best.

Honestly, this polish is too crazy, busy for me. As I've repeatedly stated, I prefer a sparser glitter, so I tried layering just one coat of It's a Trap-eze! over China Glaze Re-fresh Mint to see if I liked how that looked better than on it's own. I also added a layer of Gelous plus NYC In a New York Minute to smooth and gloss. I think I prefer this look!

It's a Trap-eze! turns out to be a versatile polish. I purchased mine from my local Sally Beauty, but they don't carry these seasonal collections very long. Head2Toe Beauty is my go-to for polishes from older collections.
