Zoya Pixie Dust in 'Thea'

So this is the second of the two Pixie Dusts I purchased recently.

I was in love with Lux,

and now here's 2 coats of Thea:

'Thea' is a "deep amethyst with an orchid flash", and it's clearly packed heavy with Pixie Dust holo glitter. I've seen this watched before & I was in love.

The purple/fuschia hybrid color is gorgeous for sure.

The sparkle of the glitter was nowhere near what I saw with Lux, though,

so that was somewhat disappointing.

It's pretty nonetheless! :)

Zoya Pixie Dust 'Lux'

I've only tried one other Pixie Dust from Zoya before,

but I loved it. SO, I was very anxious to try another one.

When Zoya had their last promo,

I scooped up two.

Here's the first: 'Lux'

'Lux' is a "rose quartz" Pixie Dust. They claim opacity is a 4 (on a scale of 1-5), but I would say it's closer to a 3. Here, I've got 2 coats of it over Covergirl's 'Constant Candy'. 

I couldn't completely capture the jaw-dropping sparkle of this bad boy,

but it's close enough.

Needless to say, the sparkle & shine is INSANE.

Definitely beautiful!

FROM THE VAULT- Lime Crime Carousel Gloss 'Snow-Sicle'

So considering this is my NINTH consecutive day being out of work due to the snow/ice,

I figured this gloss is a perfect one to bring out of the vault and showcase again.

This gloss is completely clear, but filled with holo/iridescent glitter.

It's GORG.

Though I don't wear this very much (mainly because the sticky-ness of it doesn't mesh with my super long hair)- it is really lovely. Very simple and easy with a little bit of pop :)

From the Vault- 'Pelican Grey' & 'Snowglobe'

Well even though it's in the freaking 60's in January here in TN,

I'm going to at least have some snow of my nails!

Today's post are definitely form the vault.

They're two polishes from at least a couple years ago:

one from China Glaze & one from Kawaii Nail Lacquer :)

Here's the combo:

This is 2 coats of 'Pelican Grey' and 2 coats of 'Snowglobe' :)

Festive and sparkly!

FrOzEn !!

So my daughter, like every other person in the entire world,

is obsessed with Frozen.

When I saw a nail polish bearing the same name-

I knew I had to get it.

Here's 2 coats of Candy Lacquer's 'Frozen' over 1 coat of Zoya's 'Robyn' :)

'Frozen' is a clear base that's jam packed with silver and light blue glitter & holo glitter.

It's GORG. Just look how it sparkles in the sunlight!

It's best over a base coat of some solid color, so the glitter can really look dense.

My daughter is in love with this polish now,

and I am, too!

I've used several Candy Lacquer polishes,

and they've been nothing but great.

What do you guys think?

Glistening Snowcicles ;P

Hello, all!

It has been freezing cold and rainy here.

I can only hope that means snow (and yikes, ice!) and a subsequent snow day tomorrow!

We shall see.

In the meantime, I have a gorgeous holo, wintery mani for you today.

Here's 1 coat of China Glaze's 'Icicle' and 2 coats of CG's 'Glistening Snow'.

This combo was just mesmerizing to me.

Nothing fancy, but certainly gorgeous! :)

Naughty Snowballs

Goooooood morning!

I have a quick but bright post today.

I recently picked up this new, sparkly baby from L'Oreal:

This is 'Snowball', and it's obviously packed with chunky, holo glitter.

I decided to feature this over an Essie Christmas polish from last year, 'Berry Naughty'...

and here's the result!

(apologizing now for the horrible state of my nails. sad)

It's nothing fancy, but the holo sure is delicious.

It's festive and easy :)

After losing one of my favorite chunky holos (CG's 'Techno'),

this should be a good replacement.

Have a happy Friday!

:)

Lime Crime 'Snowsicle'

Today I have a lip gloss I got several months ago,

but i've been waiting to post about it until it got colder.

Being that it feels like 8 degrees outside here today (but really),

I figured now is the perfect time.

Here's LC's Carousel Gloss in 'Snowsicle'

This is an ice colored, clear gloss with holographic glitter :)

Here I've just worn it over plain lips,

but it would definitely look pretty layered over something else.

Think I'll try that next.

What are your thoughts on this gloss?

this time in relation to what you all care about-

nails!

PCC- 'Silent Night' & 'Holly Jolly'

Alright,

i've got to double up on posts/polishes here because 

I have too much to post before Christmas day haha.

Today, both are from Pop Culture Cosmetics!

First up, 'Silent Night' over Sinful Colors' 'Rain Storm'.

'Silent Night' is a dark blue crelly with all white/holo glitter: micro, medium squares and hexes, large circles, several large half moons, and large snowflakes & stars.

LOVE this polish!

The glitter types really make it, in my opinion.

I love it over 'Rain Storm', too.

(You gotta dig for the stars and snowflakes, though)

Next up, 3 coats of 'Holly  Jolly'-

'Holly Jolly' is a mint-green base filled with green & red glitter.

This reminds me faintly of Lush Lacquer's (currently Polish Me Silly)

'Frosty', but with a green base.

Either way, it's a cute Christmas polish!

One note, though, it does get a little gloopy after a few uses.

Christmas Classics- 'Winter Holly '

I've got another 'Christmas classic' for you today,

again from China Glaze's holiday collection last year.

Here's 3 coats of 'Winter Holly'!

'Winter Holly' is a green holo microglitter, similar to 'Glistening Snow' 

but just a different color :)

This polish sparkles like crazy in the sunlight thanks to the holo

and 2 coats of SV.

Definitely a good one for the holidays!

PCC- 'Sleigh Bells'

I've got another uber cute & unique Christmas top coat for you today

from, guess who!, Pop Culture Cosmetics :)

Here's 'Sleigh Bells' over 2 coats of Sinful Colors' 'In the Mist'.

'Sleigh Bells' is a clear base with tons of fun glitter: sparse green & red micro glitter,

medium red, green, and silver holo circles, small white circle glitter, large red, green, and

silver holo circle glitter, large white snowflakes, AND large green, red, and silver holo bells!

Hence the name ;P

SO. CUTE.

I love that this polish has glitter i've never seen in a polish before.

The addition of the snowflakes is super cute, too.

If only my camera could completely capture what the sun does.
