Two more followers till 400! Woooot!Just crossed the line, thank you again, my friends, for your interest! I love you all!
Oh, I've gained about 120 followers within a week, and I didn't have time to check all your blogs and follow you. I'm going to go through my followers one by one and visit your blogs =) You matter!
Hey guys =) Today's manicure is inspired by the snowglobe my boyfriend got me a few years ago. It's powder blue, has multicolored sprinkles and a cheerful unicorn inside.
For this manicure I used 2 coats of the powder/tiffany blue Claire's polish I christened as "Foams", then 2 coats of China Glaze Snow Globe on top. Here are the results:
Pretty, but also a bit thick and gritty. I used two coats of topcoat, but as it dried completely, it lost quite a bit of its smoothness.
Am I the only one who finds China Glaze Glitters extremely difficult to handle? They are surely pretty, but PITA to apply and PITA to remove...

ReplyDeleteHey bottleofpolish, I'd love to see it!
ReplyDeleteThank you, anstah =)
This is pretty, and hey, I can't see all your manicures...so how I feel limited to decide which one to copy. :( I guess I better just pick one soon. Or maybe skip that part of the giveaway this time. :)
ReplyDeleteAww, you're the best. Your photos are beautiful and your ideas are always cute. I haven't been there lately, I have missed your blog!
ReplyDeleteI love how those ChG polish look but grittiness drive me crazy so I picked only one.
Congrats on your 400 followers. It's more than deserved. :)
I loooooove Snow Globe... China Glaze isn't the only glitter that's hard to remove. The OPI Alice In Wonderland collection is a pain too!
ReplyDeleteThank you Liz =) You can do any inspired manicure, it doesn't have to be a dead on dupe =)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Sasha =)
Hey Nathalie, missed you too =) Glad you're back! <3
Dear PH, I'm sure almost every glitter does the same thing, just wish those glitters applied a bit better, because they look stunning in the bottle =/
Oh sorry, I misread what you wrote! I have "Cleopatra" and I didn't have any problems with it... except the grittiness. Yes, Snow Globe sure is gorgeous! I REALLY want a bottle for myself :)
ReplyDeleteIt looks gorgeous! too bad the glitter applies a bit gritty, never tried ChG, so I don't really know.
ReplyDeleteTo remove it in a easy way, try the aluminum foil.
ReplyDelete1). Take your cotton wool and dampen it with nail polish remover.
2). Hold the soaked cotton wool to your nails and wrap a bit of foil over the top.
Wait 5 minutes, or less than 5 minutes… and then remove. And you will be surprised!
What a cute idea! I love the color combo too, it's soft and sparkly at the same time.
ReplyDeleteI'm no fan of glitter because they're too much of a hassle to remove but the wrapping each finger individually in a bit of foil with a piece of cotton woll soaked with polish remover against your nail works very well from what I have tried so far ;)
Polish Hoarder, Snow Globe was difficult to handle from the beginning, the consistency is very thick. I was worried that the cap was opened before, because it was that thick. Maybe I just got a bad bottle =)
ReplyDeleteThank you very much, Rhea!
Thank you Bunny and chocaddict, for the info =) I tried it several times, but it didn't work too well on me as the others stated... There was a definitive improvement, but I was expecting everything to be magically gone, which didn't happen =/

ReplyDeleteThe result of the aluminum foil technique depends on the acetone...
