Altered Reality is a teal metallic shade without top coat. I get a bit of a frosty feel on the nail. I had several issues with this polish. The formula was a little runny and needs thinner coats for best application. But, if you use too thin of coats because then you get lumps and streaking. I used 2 coats of Altered Reality over Finger Paints base coat.

Adding top coat causes much less streaking with Altered Reality, however there is very little color changing. If you use a thicker coat of top coat you get a bit more color difference which you should be able to see on my thumb. I used China Glaze Fast Forward top coat and did the same patterns as the other 2 polishes in this collection.

Altered Reality was a big disappointment. I loved the color in the bottle, but once I had it on, the slight frostiness turned me off. The minimal color change was sad as well, this one could have had lots of potential. I only wore this for maybe 30 minutes, and on removal I already started noticing signs of staining. I would definitely pass on this one.
