China Glaze White Cap is from the Anchors Away collection '11.
This is 1 coat of China Glaze White Cap over Black Onyx. One may think that White Cap is a cheaper alternative to CND Jade Sparkles. Although I don't own Jade Sparkles, but having seen the quality of CND Sparkles in their Sapphire one, I am convinced that White Cap will never really substitute Jade Sparkles.
White Cap is a cream jelly base with fine golden shimmer in it. You can see how the cream translucent base plus the golden shimmer transform the black polish into something olive-golden. I personally am not digging the olive-golden shade, I think it could be achieved in better quality with Jade Sparkles over Black.
However, that's not to say that White Cap isn't a great polish! I've used it over other nail polishes to great effect. However, because of its translucent cream base, it may not turn out the way you think it would because it does make the base colour lighter and more faded-looking.
