Above & Below: China Glaze Stellar is a dazzling, sparkly polish with a beige or khaki base. The pictures don't do it justice because I couldn't capture the silver glitter that really dresses up this shade.
Stellar is one of the new glitters in the Glitters, Shimmers & Cremes collection from China Glaze. This one has the smaller micro glitter, as opposed to the larger pieces of glitter found in many of the other polishes in this unusually large collection. Not that I'm complaining about the size of the collection, but I honestly don't recall any company coming out with such a massive amount of polishes in one collection before. On to the description of Stellar...this is a khaki shade packed with silver glitter that covered very nicely in 2 coats. I happened to have a bottle of Orly's Country Club Khaki on my desk when I was applying Stellar and it is a very similar base shade. Add in 50 million pieces of silver micro glitter and you get a beautiful, sparkly shade that is a winning combination. If you want a clean and simple look with a little bling, this is the perfect shade.

Love this!! Thanks for the pics!! It's great to have a nice neutral color with glitter!! Just the sort of thing I'm looking for. It's going on my list!!
This looks good on you. I'm never sure about this shade against my skin tone. It usually just looks like mud or clay.
WOW!!!! I love it. Wearable, different and eye catching.

This is soo pretty on you Mary! I've been debating whether or not I should get it,but you've pushed me to the 'get it' side. Thanks for posting this!
This one is gorgeous, it's definitely going on my wish list now.

Nicole~I love the glitters with the bigger pieces, but these more subtle ones are just as pretty!
Krisprimps~that is an excellent description you gave and I totally agree.

Euridice~this is a great polish to have, it's toned down yet still dressy.
The Pretty Brown Girl~actually with all of the sparkle, I think it would look very nice and less clay-like. I know what you mean though.
