China Glaze Altered Reality

   The third and final China Glaze Tranzitions shade I have to show you is Altered Reality.

   Altered Reality is a teal metallic shade without top coat.  I get a bit of a frosty feel on the nail.  I had several issues with this polish.  The formula was a little runny and needs thinner coats for best application.  But, if you use too thin of coats because then you get lumps and streaking.  I used 2 coats of Altered Reality over Finger Paints base coat.

   Adding top coat causes much less streaking with Altered Reality, however there is very little color changing.  If you use a thicker coat of top coat you get a bit more color difference which you should be able to see on my thumb.  I used China Glaze Fast Forward top coat and did the same patterns as the other 2 polishes in this collection.

   Altered Reality was a big disappointment.  I loved the color in the bottle, but once I had it on, the slight frostiness turned me off.  The minimal color change was sad as well, this one could have had lots of potential.  I only wore this for maybe 30 minutes, and on removal I already started noticing signs of staining.  I would definitely pass on this one.

China Glaze Modify Me

   The second polish from the China Glaze Tranzitions collection I have to show you is Modify Me.

   Modify Me is a light blurple, not quite periwinkle, with a silver/pearl shimmer without top coat.  Formula and application were pretty good, but you will see a few brush strokes.  I used 2 coats of Modify Me over Finger Paints base coat.

   Once you add top coat, Modify Me becomes more purple.  The color difference is pretty noticeable with top coat, but again the polish becomes more streaky with the addition.  I used China Glaze Fast Forward top coat and used different techniques on each finger.

   I like both colors of Modify Me, with and without top coat.  I would like it better if top coat didn't add streaks.

China Glaze Split Perso-Nail-ity

   Welcome to March everyone.  I have the first of 3 polishes from the China Glaze Tranzitions collection to show you today.  This collection is interesting because the polishes go on one color, but change colors when you add top coat.  This gives lots of options and can make for some easy nail art/designs.

   Split Perso-Nail-ity is a light rose with a hidden shimmer and a slight purple/lavender tinge.  The formula is a little thick, but application is good and you could almost get away with just 1 coat of polish.  I used 2 for these photos over Finger Paints base coat.  Here's the polish without top coat:

   Once you add top coat, Split Perso-Nail-ity becomes a darker rose, but the top coat makes the polish look streaky.  There is a distinct color difference with the top coat.  I did each nail differently to show some ideas on how wear this polish.  I used China Glaze Fast Forward top coat.

   If you look at my pinky you can really see how streaky the polish looks once you add top coat.  I'm disappointed by that because I think the color with top coat would be really pretty if it didn't streak.  My favorite design is the polka dots.
