Named after Atlas Corrigan, protagonist Lily Bloom’s old flame in Colleen Hoover’s 2016 novel “It Ends With Us,” the lightest shade in the collection is an alpine white pearl polish. Initially, Atlas struck me as more of a winter color than a springtime shade, but it proved to be one of my favorites nonetheless. It has an almost opalescent shine that makes each nail look lit from within. I loved how this luminescent white looked on its own, but could see it being a beautiful accent color in spring nail art. The shimmery pearl would make some adorable daisy petals or sweet polka dots over a pastel pink like Brave Blush.

Olive & June produces some of the best nail polish on the market, and Atlas is proof of this. The iridescent shade dries very quickly — in under two minutes per coat, to be precise. While one layer of polish provides a pretty, translucent sheen, I decided to use two on each nail for optimal coverage. Once it sets, Atlas develops a satiny, semi-gloss finish that emphasizes its pearlescent glow. It’s super easy to remove, even around the cuticles — an impressive feat, considering shimmery shades can be a pain to peel off.
