My thought when I did these nails was "cold winter night." I think that's pretty accurate!

This paint job is a lot of layers. First the base color, then sponged glitter on the tips, then put my flakie coat down, then stamped on top of that.

I hate it when I have to say this, but these REALLY look a lot better in person. I couldn't get my flakie coat to photograph worth a crap. Below there is a swatch by polishallthenails that really nails it. My flakies look nice and colorful IRL, but I couldn't capture it in a photo for anything.  🙁

Holy shit my nails are awesome right now. 😳

Went to Sally's today to check out the new China Glaze Crinkle Chromes. While the idea was neat I was not impressed with the product. It is basically metallic polish with the fuzz coat and texture polish bits mixed in. If you have either of those kinds of polishes plus a favorite metallic you could easily get that look by layering your polishes - without needing to buy anything else.

I tried the lavender one out on my thumb. I'm not a huge fan of the way it looks, either. I don't think I'll be buying any of those.

As backwards as it sounds I love it when polish collections fail to wow me. It just means I won't be lusting after them or spending my money. I feel like I've won. 😂
