KBShimmer I Only Have Ice For You

Snow is something I can only dream of in Florida. I think the only time I've been in real snow was in Mt. Charleston, Nevada when I was 5. I don't really remember it. Then there was those times growing in Texas we had some ice/snow combo that I don't count as real snow. I used to really want to live in snowy weather, but I have many friends who live in the Northeast who have convinced me otherwise. Still, I would like to experience real snow as an adult, with snow in mind, here is a snowy looking polish by KBShimmer.

I Only Have Ice For You over Nuance Nightshadow
I Only Have Ice For You is a white base with white snowy flecks and holographic glitters.

Color: This is soft and subtle, but beautiful at the same time. I love how delicate this glitter looks. I recommend layering this over a dark base, this brings this glitter to life!

Formula: Easy and breezy. I used 2 coats over a base.

Price: I paid $8.75 for this on KBShimmer's website.

Overall: This is a beautiful glitter topper. I don't own anything like it. I love the softness of it, and how it looks over a deep polish.

My Rating: 5 out of 5 Paint Splatters
Happy Monday!

L.A. Girl 3D Brilliant Blue

I was not a fan of the holo glitters Zoya released last holiday season. One of the complaints I had was maybe it was the color of the polishes I didn't care for, and that if the finish had a different color attached to it I would like it more. I'm happy to say this was the case. I'm also happy the L.A. Girl took a stab at holo glitters. Yay, for awesome affordable nail polish.

Brilliant Blue
Brilliant Blue is a royal blue base with scattered holographic glitter throughout.

Color: Gorgeous! I love a rich blue. I'm such a sucker for a great blue, and the addition of this holo glitter is stunning. I typically don't like a holo glitter, but this blended in nicely with the base where it looks meant to be if that makes sense.

Formula: This is sheer. That is my downside to this polish. I used 3 coats above, and I think 4 would even make it better.

Price: I paid $4.00 for this on the Cherry Culture website.

Overall: Gorgeous rich blue polish. I love the holographic glitter, and I'd call this a must have. This a great polish for holiday time too.

My Rating: 4.5 out of 5 Paint Splatters

Sally Hansen Nail Prisms Golden Tourmaline

One of the collections I miss most is Sally Hansen Nail Prisms. Thankfully, I have been able to find a few here and there at Dollar Tree and Ross. They haven't completely disappeared from the planet. You can also find them online, for very reasonable prices. This is one of my favorites.

Golden Tourmaline




Golden Tourmaline is bright red scattered holo.

This is gorgeous! There is a lack of good red holos out there, and this one is great. I know there are some great unique holos out there these day that come from foreign brands. I have many on my wishlist, but they're pricey. I think some of the Sally Hansen Nail Prisms especially the warmer tones will satisfy the holo needs you have if you're not willing to pay the higher price for the others.

Happy Tuesday!

Urban Outfitters Afterhours

A few weeks ago when I walked into Urban Outfitters I found a whole table full of nail polish. Naturally I was like O.o! They had a whole stash of these square shaped bottles in handful of neat colors and finishes. I believe these were 2 for $8. So, I stocked up on a few. I spotted a holographic glitter bomb in the mix, and of course I had to get it!

Afterhours
 
Afterhours is a pale lavender glitter and silver holographic glitter..glitter bomb.

This was only 3 coats, so it meets my criteria for a glitter bomb. I like the pale lavender glitter in here it's a nice variation from your standard silver. You could layer this one if you'd like too. This is a neat polish, that I approve of!

Happy Friday!
