We haven't had any snowfall for a couple of weeks now, but the cold makes it clear it really is winter. So I decided the wear the snow on the nails instead :-)
On my pinkie, ring finger and thumb I used three coats of Different Dimension Never Grow Up. "
Never Grow Up has a white crelly base with blue shimmer with different sizes of blue and silver holographic circle, hex, and square glitters."

There are a lot of blue flakies, too, that give the milky white base a gorgeous shimmer. Never Grow Up is pretty sheer, the three coats I used were medium to thick, and it was still quite squishy. So if you want an opaque look, you better layer this one over a white creme.

My middle finger shows two coats of Essie Blanc, a simple white creme, topped with one coat of Catrice Holo Qué Tal? (Million Styles Limited Edition). Despite the name, Holo Qué Tal? isn't a holo polish, but a clear base filled with pink and blue flakies (the pink ones are more obvious). Then I added some snow flakes using Essie Avenue Maintain and Bundle MOnster plate BM-323.

On my index finger I wore two coats of Essie Avenue Maintain (already shown here), a medium blue creme, topped with one coat of Catrice Holo Qué Tal?.

I topped the whole mani with KBShimmer Clearly On Top topcoat, one coat over middle and index finger, two coats over the other ones.

This is such a delicate Skittelette - it creates the most beautiful idea of snow. Right now it rains here - go figure :-( slippery as hell :-S
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Christine! No rain here, but after beautiful sunshine earlier this morning everything is grey now...
DeleteBTW, mittlerwile schiffets hie o... :-/
DeleteI love the combination of all the different designs, but what you did on the index finger is truly spectacular in my opinion! :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Melissa! This Catrice polish looks much more spectacular on the nail than it does in the bottle :-)
DeleteBeautiful!
ReplyDeleteThank you <3
