Glitter in the Air is probably one of the most lusted after polishes out there. Every place I look, there are girls talking about how much they love it, want it, and have tried to produce their own version of it. Truthfully, I have seen some pretty damn amazing franken GLITA's out there. But seeing as I am franken challenged, I went with the real thing.

Color:
Glitter in the Air is a sheer baby blue creme/jelly hybrid with semi sparse (round) pink and blue glitter in multiple sizes. Sounds intricate, doesn't it? I suppose it kind of is...

Application:
GITA has "application issues" written all over it. But it actually goes on quite well. But don't even entertain thoughts of this becoming opaque. You'd probably need about 8 coats for that to be even remotely possible. That said, if it wasn't as sheer as it is then the glitter wouldn't stand a chance at sparkling. Drying time sucked. Period.

Downside:
This is sheer beyond words. It's essentially a really souped up top coat. And at $18 a bottle, it aint exactly cheap as chips.

Bottom Line:
It's unique. It's cute. It's "coveted" by many. The sheerness of it is easily remedied by using a similar sky blue as a base color, and the result is really nice. Personally, I think it's worth the $18 just because there isn't really anything else quite like it out there (unless, as I stated earlier, you are skilled at frankening).
