Silly Bee's Chickadees "The Gift of Melly"- Steph's Silver White Winters + Giveaway!

*I received the following product in exchange for my honest review
*Sponsored giveaway

I'm very excited for this post. Last year, you might remember I was part of Silly Bee's Chickadee's The Gift of Melly for the holiday season. I was invited back to partake again this year with a handful of other great bloggers. Just like last year, proceeds ($2 from every bottle sold) will be donated to a charity of each blogger's choice.

My polish inspiration this year comes from one of my all time favorite movies, The Sound of Music. This is not what many consider a holiday movie, but when I was younger I always watched this movie around holiday time. I can always count on the songs from The Sound of Music to lift my spirits, especially "My Favorite Things". This is where my polish idea comes from...

"Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes
Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes
Silver white winters that melt into springs
These are a few of my favorite things"

I wanted to create a wintery glitter mix that fits for the holidays and winter. Melissa of Silly Bee's Chickadees did an excellent job!


My charity of choice this year is the Pet Alliance of Greater Orlando. If you follow me on Instagram you may notice my kitty posts on Wednesdays and Fridays. I spend my Wednesday and Friday mornings at the Pet Alliance of Greater Orlando as a Kitty Cuddler and Kennel Coach. My responsibilities are to socialize animals, help potential adopters, and enrich shelter cats lives with treats and activities. The Pet Alliance of Greater Orlando is an immense and meaningful part of my life. The staff and other volunteers all have tremendous hearts when dealing with animals and the community. If you purchase a bottle of Steph's Silver White Winters, $2 will be donated to the Pet Alliance of Greater Orlando!

Steph's Silver White Winters is a mix of silver holographic glitters, satin aqua glitters, satin baby blue glitters, and micro iridescent glitter in a clear base.

I used one thick coat over a base on all of these. I recommend dabbing this polish on the nail for coverage in one coat.

The price for a full sized bottle is $10 and it is available for purchase today! To purchase click here.

The Gift of Melly isn't just me though! There are 6 other beautiful polishes in this collection! $2 from each of these will be donated to the charities listed below.

  4. My favorite is those Rankin Bass stop motion shows from the sixties and seventies. I have to say my favorite one of all is Rudolph the red nosed reindeer with the voice of Burl Ives as the snowman/narrator.
