China Glaze Liquid Crystal Nail Lacquer Review

China Glaze Liquid Crystal Nail Lacquer

Hello dearies,

Nail polishes are one of the adorable things that I have so many that I actually would get worn-out to count them , I love my nails unconditionally and that is what makes me to pick at least 3 nail paints a week. I haven’t used many glittery shades but these were very pretty so I picked them up to just see how I can carry these glittery shades. These are my first purchase from the brand “China Glaze” and I loved them so I would like to invest in a few more matte shades as well. Let’s see a brief review of the liquid crystal.

Price: Rs. 600 for 14 ml

Product description by China glaze:

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.
Liquid crystal-Aqua blue glimmers hint of purple filled with pink, yellow, silver, orange and green flecks.

My experience with China glaze in liquid crystal:

Liquid crystal belongs to the range called “China glaze prismatic spring collection”. I had many shades to choose from but I was confused between blue and pink and to remove the confusion I picked up both. The shades from this range are all glittery ones with a hint of colour in it and have 6 shades to choose from. Basically all the shades revolve somewhere around silver but gives a light shine of the colour it contains. This nail paint comes in a big  trademark bottle and has a sparkly grey cap which compliments the shade in the bottle. It is travel friendly but a little huge and heavier than our normal sized nail enamels.

Talking about the shade I am little confused whether to call this colour a purple one or a blue one. But after observing a lot what I think is that it has multi-coloured glitter particles but more of blue and dark pink particles and the particles are actually blue but the pink and blue blend gives it a purple dazzle. It also has some orange and green flecks but very little in quantity so they do not make a major change in the shade. The consistency is beautiful and the nail enamel can be applied with ease. A good amount of 2-3 coats are required for the colour to appear opaque as in one coat is appears a little transparent.

 

The best part about this is quick drying because I just cannot stand nail paints that dry up after half an hour because I have a constant habit to caress my fingers around my hair. It dries up in about 7-8 minutes which is pretty fast. After application it looks amazing and gorgeous. It is a bit matte and I always apply a top coat on it to seal on the glitter and also to provide a dazzling shine. It complements the skin tone really well in the morning but I would say that this is best for night-time, a perfect one for clubbing because the real glaze and sparkle is seen then. One of the major cons with this is the removal part. The nails have to be rubbed abrasively with nail polish remover for 10 to 12 times for this nail paint to actually come off since the particles are pretty hard and then too the glitter particles are stuck here and there on my hand which is pretty annoying. So I always keep this for a week and only then remove it because it is a tedious job. It has hardeners too which help maintain the strength of the nails and does not let it break easily and the nail paint remained as it is for a week after sealing it with top coat.So on a good note I would say that this is a great brand to invest in and this doesn’t get over soon, so look out for the shades you like!
