BAM! A single ray of white light streams through a prism and explodes into a rainbow of colors on your nails.
That’s the idea behind these new Prismatic polishes from China Glaze. The limited edition launch of six eye-catching glittery nail polishes ($8 each) really improved my spirits this afternoon. The gloomy, gray sky looming over the Bay area felt like a big wet blanket on my mood.

It was bringing me down… but then I started swatching.
Ray-Diant
Filled with glitter and holographic particles, these glimmering multi-colored metallics practically look like they’re hopping off my nails! — like they’re 3D powered, which is kinda cool.

As usual, China Glaze formulated the entire line, which bursts into professional charm supply stores and beauty salons in April, without DBP, toluene and formaldehyde.
In all of these swatches, I’m wearing two layers…

I typically get from 7-10 days out of China Glaze nail polishes when I wear them with a base and top coat, so I’m hoping for similar wear time from these. The last ones I tried, the Capitol Colours shades, lasted about that long with very little chipping.

I’ve typically had pretty good luck with China Glaze’s glitter polishes. Some will last 12-14 days with just a few little dings here and there, mostly at the tips.
Like many glitter polishes, these require some elbow grease to remove, but here’s a trick that makes removing them a lot simpler for me.
Since we’re on the topic of glittery nails, do you ever wear ’em, and if you do, what are your favorites?
I certainly wear them a lot much more often now than I did back when I worked at my stuffy old legal gig in the city. glitter like this would have raised too numerous eyebrows back then…
PRICE: $8 each
AVAILABILITY: Coming in April to charm supply stores and salons
MAKEUP and charm blog RATING: B+
Desperately seeking (easy) healthy dinner recipes
Mushroom spinach pasta
I could really use your help getting out of my current dinner routine… I’ve been eating too numerous frozen Lean Cuisines and take-out lately, because by the end of the day, I’m typically so exhausted that the last thing I feel like doing is preparing a meal.
If you can suggest any healthy recipes (ideally easy ones), let me know. I’m starved for ideas.
