China Glaze Atelier Tulle

On Thursday of this week, I received my package for three China Glaze polishes that I ordered off of eBay. I ordered three colors: Atelier Tulle, Mom's Chiffon, and Second Hand Silk. Coincidentally, all three colors are from the China Glaze Immaterial Girl collection, something I did not know when I ordered them.  


This color is pretty close to the coral shade I want.. Its a coral shade that leans more towards the red. Its a very beautiful color. I only needed one color for it to be opaque and for it's true color. The application of the was okay... It wasn't the best application, but wasn't the worst. The things I liked about the application was it was opaque in one coat, color was the same color as shown in the bottle, easy to paint the majority of my nails, very glossy. However, I did have two major problems with this nail polish: at the tips of my nails the application would get blotchy which never happened to me when I used a base coat (as always I used Essie 3-Way Glaze) . Now this didn't happen for all of the tips of my nails, just a couple. And also, when I was applying my OPI RapiDry Top coat  it seemed to lift a little bit of the color off of my nail (not a lot where it was noticeable but there was some very noticeable nail polish transfer on my brush). This also never happened to me before when I used Essie or OPI. 

One small problem I had with the nail polish packaging is the handle of the China Glaze nail polish.. its a lot smaller than OPI and Essie so it took some getting used to. But that has nothing to do with the polish itself but the packaging and once I got used to it it was fine.

All in all, I rate it a 8/10. 

I found this polish to be very similar to OPI's Red My Fortune Cookie that I had on earlier this week. Except Red My Fortune Cookie is definitely a more bright red that Atelier Tulle which compared to OPI is more pink.
