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!

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! :)

PCC- 'Winter Wonderland'

Even though Spring is right around the corner for us in TN,

I know lots of states are still dealing with tons of snow.

Here's the last of my Pop Culture Cosmetics winter polishes :)

This is 2 coats of 'Winter Wonderland' over Zoya's Phoebe

'Winter Wonderland' is a clear base with tons of iridescent micro glitter,

small, medium, and large white circle glitter, and large white snowflakes.

I really like it over the blue base.

It makes it look more wintery or something :)

Starrily- 'The Magic of Frosty'

Okay, okay.

So i know this is technically a Christmas polish,

but being that so many places are getting snow today-

I figured it's still fitting...

Christmas Classics- 'Glistening Snow'

Today I have a polish from CG from their holiday collection last year.

This is 3 amazing coats of 'Glistening Snow'.

'Glistening Snow' is made up of silver holo micro glitter.

After a top coat, it's positively dazzling!

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

Anyway, this bad boy is awesome.

Skyrim Makeup Series- Winterhold

So it's been a bit too long since i've done another installment in this series.

I started out using some races as inspiration.

Though i'm not leaving that completely, I did want to go in another direction for a bit.

So, I decided to try some looks based on some of the Holds.

First up is my personal favorite, Winterhold.

It's a somewhat bleak yet beautiful wintery Hold in the northeastern tip of Skyrim

It houses few inhabitants now (aside from the College of Winterhold) after a disastrous event some years ago.

Based on the color scheme of the Hold and it's wintery atmosphere,

I created a bit bolder/down right crazier/weirder look than normal...

So perhaps this was too literal and just dumb,

but I (truly shockingly) kind of liked it when I was done.

I felt like an idiot when I was drawing on the snow and 'snow-winds',

but hey, live a little.

I wanted to branch out a bit here.

What do you guys think? Honestly? :P

Lawl at the eyebrows by the way; that turned out nothing like I'd planned.

I used:

Too Faced Shadow Insurance

Sugarpill's 'Tako'- browbone

UD's 'Crystal', an unnamed shimmery white from Maybelline 'Sapphire Siren' quad,

UD's 'Strip' & 'Money', and Lime Crime's 'Mirror Mirror'- lid

UD's 'Gunmetal' & 'Oil Slick' 

and an unnamed shimmery grey form Sleek Acid palette- crease

Covergirl Line Exact & Lime Crime's 'Lunar Sea'- eyeliner

Maybelline mascara

UD's 'Gunmetal' & LC's 'Mirror Mirror'- eyebrows

Welp.

There you have it.

I'm stoked to do some more Holds.

If you have any suggestions or requests for this series- let me know!!
