China Glaze – Prismatic Chroma Glitters Collection (swatches & review)

Imagine shards of multifaceted crystals. Now take those same crystals and pulverize them – that’s basically what you have with China Glaze’s new ‘Prismatic Chroma Glitters Collection’, 6 new über-blinged out, yet still somehow managing to stay rather urbanely sophisticated, shades of nail lacquer. All swatches are with Poshé Fast Drying Base Coat and Super-Fast Drying Top Coat.

According to the company,

“Inspired by the colors formed by the refraction of light through a prism, Prismatic by China Glaze® combines glitter and holographic particles to create the ultimate eye-catching, 3-dimensional manicure”

I say get ready to observe unbelievable brilliance sparkling off the tips of your fingers (or toes)! Combining ultra-fine glitter with larger metallic sequins, along with prismatic glitter pieces, it’s like applying a fusion of metallic & holographically charged colour along your nails – the photos fail to capture how vivid these shades truly are, but I think you’ll get a good idea. A few quick facts about these lacquers:

recommended to leave an interval of at least 2 minutes between coats to avoid any dragging
finished surface slightly rough, but easily smoothed over with at least one layer of top coat
amazing reflective shine, especially considering how glitter-packed they are
formula flows quite easily without the usual suspension format of most glitters

This is what comes to mind when I look at these bottles ! (source)

‘Polarized‘ is much like an icy meteor shower; a clear base filled with silver ultra-fine glitter along with larger multi-hued chromatic glitter hexagonal pieces, this shade offered surprisingly good coverage with the first coat, although I applied 3 coats here for swatch purposes. I found this to be the most wearable hue of the bunch, giving off a delicately futuristic look to the nails.

‘Full Spectrum‘, is identical in every way to ‘Polarized’, with the exception of the colour, bearing pink/lilac tinted ultra-fine glitter in its clear base, as well as larger silver and polychromatic hexagonal glitter pieces thrown in. Once more, 3 coats were applied here for the swatches. Isn’t this such a mod dainty shade?

‘Ray-Diant‘ differs slightly from the others; a clear base filled with yellow-leaning green ultra-fine glitter and the requisite polychromatic larger hexagonal glitter segments, the formula here was slightly thicker than the rest although the flow was still excellent, making application rather effortless as the glitter stays exactly where you brush it on. While 2 coats are more than sufficient for full coverage, 3 were applied for these swatches.

‘Liquid Crystal‘ (I love the imagery that this name invokes!) is a clear base brimming with sky blue ultra-fine glitter, along with the multi-hued larger hexagonal pieces, and a unique lavender duochrome flash to it when seen in varying lighting. Once more, 3 coats were applied for the swatches.

‘Optical Illusion‘ is most likely what mermaid skin is made of. Seriously. The clear base here is loaded with vibrant aqua ultra-fine glitter and the larger multi-chromatic hexagonal glitter pieces, all working synergistically together to give the look of pure magic! For best coverage, you definitely need at least 2 coats – 3 were applied here for the swatches.

‘Prism‘ should have been named “twilight”, for that’s exactly what this shade resembles. A clear base filled with violet & purple ultra-fine glitter with the polychromatic larger hexagonal glitter swirling throughout, I found this colour to be the most mysterious of them all and equally lovely. Once more, 3 coats were applied for the swatches.

Final thoughts: I don’t know if it’s all the combinations and hues and/or the many brands out there that continue to release glitter lacquers at us, but I find my resolve beginning to weaken; where I tended to avoid glitters in the past, I now find them infinitely interesting, especially when a collection like China Glaze’s ‘Prismatic Chroma Glitters’ comes along with everything it has going on. Not only do you have veritable glitter bombs happening, but there’s also movement, something I’ve only come across a few times with these types of varnishes, although be warned that some elbow grease is required in removing these beauties -a small sacrifice, wouldn’t you agree?! This limited edition collection is available now wherever China Glaze products are sold – feel free to visit their website for more information.
