China Glaze's Anklets of Amethysts is a sparkly semi-foil finish medium plum/purple/pink polish. (After three coats it's the exact color of an amethyst stone.) This could be considered the lighter but very slightly more foil little sister of FingerPaints Decked with Dazzle. Anklets of Amethysts has a shimmery foil finish with super-fine microglitter in silver, pink, lavender, and some light blue. The finish was very smooth and in no way gritty. This is a very sparkly polish but, like DWD, in a grown-up way. The application was a little streaky but by three coats it was even. However, I did still have very, very slight visible nail and could have gone to a fourth coat. The drying time was very slow between coats but I did use Seche Vite over everything and it was rock hard 30 minutes later. I would definitely buy this one again.EDIT: Removal is slightly difficult because of the microfine glitter but not as bad as regular glitters.

I LOVE this color. I loved it so much that I hated to take it off but the nails needed to breathe. Definately one of my favorites.

Just stunning. I'm on a purple kick now, and this one just blows my socks off. It's a lilac with tons of pink and silver shimmer. GORGE. I think I'm going to order an emergency back-up bottle.

Anklets of Amethyst is a new fall color from China Glaze's "We Adorn You" collection.This is a VERY pretty color. Depending on how many layers you want, it can either be a super-sheer glaze, a snazzy topcoat, or fully opaque. I did 3 coats and it's totally opaque. The base color is a true, light amethyst shade. It has a ton of shimmer and sparkle; I mostly see silver, medium pink, and aqua in the sparkles. It gives it a lot of depth, but it's NOT glittery just very shimmery.I actually like that this one can be built up to opacity because it was pretty just as a one-coat glaze. Like all China Glaze, this wears well and applies smoothly. continued >>
