Hi everyone,
this manicure is one of the "thickest" I have ever done. I layered two coats of Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in "Mint Sorbet". It is one of the worst polishes I've ever used. It was very gloppy and streaky all at once. It went on thick and then seemed to dissolve as I went over it. I thought it would never dry, and I should have just aborted the whole mission, but I wanted to use this colour at least once since I just bought it!
Then I layered a coat of Nubar "Martini", an awesome pale green holographic glitter polish that has tiny glitter as well as bigger pentagonal silver glitter.
I should have probably stopped there, but I don't know what possessed me. I decided, "more is more" and added another new polish I bought. I slapped on more glitter in the form of Sally Hansen Insta Dri "Snappy Sprinkles" which has both pinkish and green strips of glitter in a kind of thick sheer pink base.
The glitter in "Snappy Sprinkles" goes on a bit unevenly, so I just blobbed it on and pushed it around. It dries really bumpy, with pieces of the glitter sticking up, so I needed two coats of Seche Vite to smooth it out. It's still a bit "textured" shall we say, but at least all the layers did dry!
I'm not sure I even like this manicure, after all that... And, I know for sure it will be a royal pain to get all that glitter off!
Well, what do you think of this manicure? Please let me know...

Winter Wonderland
Colour Club's "220 Volts" (2 coats)
Snowflake designs from Konad IP m59 in Special white
Nubar's "Martini" - holograhic glitter
Ah...a truly Canadian konadicure for you. Colour Club's "220 Volts" is an awesome blue creme. The only problem is that it tends to chip whenever I use it. I don't know what's up with that because I don't have that problem with other colours from this brand.
I stamped the snowflakes in random positions and then added some of Nubar's holographic glitter in the centre of the flakes, as well as randomly on the nail to give it a frosty winter effect.
