China Glaze Elephant Walk and glitter

I recently got Elephant walk and in the bottle, it looked like a muted cool gray with a very subtle shimmer. I thought I could spice it up with some glitter, but that seemed to have turned out badly for me. Other than the poor layering combination, I liked this polish. It applied thickly, but not chunky and flowed very well. It didn't level as nicely as I would have liked, but it dried quick and has great coverage. I'm wearing 2 coats, usually I have to apply 3. The formula is not prone to bald spots on longer nails, so that's a pleasant surprise. Only complaint against the polish itself is that it's a little too green for my skin tone. I expected it to be a little more blue, but the greenness makes it less desirable to me. Other than that, it's really fun to apply and wear.

  1. I like the combination :)
    Have you tried it with any of the glitters from the same collex? The shades I own looks gorgeous with I'm not Lion

    1. Thanks! I tried I Herd That on my toes and it's super pretty! A bit of a topcoat eater though
