Piggy Polish Snowmen!!! :D

Hi everyone!!

I went shopping yesterday and visited the only store in Montreal that sells Piggy Polish. They had the holiday 2-packs so I bought a couple of those plus another single polish :D I then decided with all the snow we're getting it would be the perfect time to try my snowman Konad stamp. I picked PP Blue-ty Call (beautiful shimmery light blue) as a base, and topped everything with PP Sunshine On Snowflakes, one of the best holo top coats there is. I LOVE it!!!

Enjoy and have a great weekend!! :D

SH Emerald Ring ★★★★★

Good morning everyone!

So after I removed KOTG last night, I got a message saying one of my swaps packages had finally made it to its destination... That meant I was now free to try the awesome looking Sally Hansen Salon in Emerald Ring! So of course I did, and it's such a fabulous color! Completely opaque in 2 thin coats, and super glowy :D I wanted a slightly more festive look, so I added present ribbons from Konad plate M61. I love the end result! Shade pic since it's snowing outside..

Enjoy and have a great day! :D

OPI Keep Off the Grass

Pretty color, but I don't think it's interesting enough for me, or a color I'd ever reach for again :/ It needs 3 coats to be opaque and even, but the brush strokes aren't really that bad. What do you think?

Have a great day! :D

Color Club Tru Passion ★★★★★

Hey everyone!

My swim meet is finally over so I now have a little time to catch up before I have to go Christmas shopping! I wanted to do a mani that would hopefully last through 3 days of swimming and putting on tight suits, so I chose CC Tru Passion, a fabulous super glittery bright purple. Compared to the other colors from the Glitter Vixen collection, it has a more opaque base, so 2 coats are enough to cover completely. It is however very gritty, so I used 1 coat of SH Insta-Dri (anti-shrinkage) and 2 coats of Oh So Wet (for smoothness). It ended up only lasting 2 days, but it was oh so worth it!! Top 20 material :D Please disregard the thicker spots on my tips, I had to retouch quite a few times :O

Enjoy and have a great night! :D
