In July (don't judge) I decided to close my eyes and randomly grab a bottle of polish to swatch. I came up with China Glaze Liquid Crystal from the 2012 Prismatic Chroma collection. When I first heard about these, i was really excited. The official release stated "bright blue holographic with purple tint dusted with silver, gold, green, pink and orange. Hello.
I started with a base of Cult Nails Get It On, 2 coats of polish and a top coat of Cult Nails Wicked Fast. I know others have found this polish to be gloopy or thick but mine applied well without any real issues. It did eat top coat though, so you may want to add a second layer.
In full sun, this looks more like turquoise polish with glitters, although in the bottle, you can see hints of purple around the edges.
In the shade, the purple starts to peek out and you can see that the "dusted" parts are actually glitters. This combo of glitters was pretty popular last year and I've seen it in a few polishes this year as well.
Indoors with indirect light you start to see the color shift but sadly, no holographic properties here.
And just as I was about to call it a day, I was able to get full on purple tint from this little fiend. Thanks Liquid Crystal!
