Misa Dirty Sexy Money and China Glaze Atlantis

I stopped by Sally Beauty Supply last night to get the new Fingerpaints, but they didn't have them in yet. I looked around a bit and saw that they had China Glaze Atlantis in its own display, which is odd since Atlantis was released in 2009 with several other specialty glitters. Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining lol. I picked up Atlantis and a few $1.99 holiday shades they had on clearance.

I've had Misa Dirty Sexy Money for awhile. It was released with the 2009 Living in the Fast Lane collection. I'm sure you've seen it a million times, but I just did my first mani with it. Dirty Sexy Money is a dusty turquoise creme. It's very distinct.

Two coats, no topcoat.

My pictures didn't adequately capture the dustiness of this polish. It's gorgeous. After I got done staring at it, I decided to layer Atlantis over it. Atlantis is a turquoise jelly with multicolored glitter.

As you can see, Atlantis is insane. In a good way.

Formula wise, Dirty Sexy Money was perfect. Atlantis is a jelly, so it's not something I'd wear alone, and it's pretty thick. The glitter tends to group together, so I had to spread it a bit, but it's so amazing that I can forgive that.

By the way, I now have nubbins thanks to that broken ring fingernail the other day.

Happy painting!
