Snowman in August

Aug20

I was trying to decide which nail polish to use next, and came up with a lovely glitter. Snowman of My Dreams is a multi colored glitter from the Nicole collection by OPI. It is also a Holiday Polish so I guess I am continuing the theme from my daughters post last Friday, This is Halloween! Zoya Arizona. I chose it because it’s such a cool polish for such a hot time of the year. It has silver, blue, pink, yellow, green, and orange glitter that I can see (see micro shots).

I used Nail Envy Matt by OPI as my base coat, two coats of Snowman of My Dreams, and Double Duty by Sally Hansen as a top coat. If you wanted you could use a solid color under the glitter and have a nice sparkly look.

Now for the pictures:

Optical Illusion

Jul23

Since I’m off work today, I had the time today to redo my nails. The old polish was beginning to chip and show some wear and needed to be changed. My son Ryan suggested that I use a blue polish this time. Today I went with Nail Envy Matte by OPI as my base coat. Then two coats of Optical Illusion by China Glaze. One coat gave good coverage but two looks better. I used Sally Hansen’s Double Duty Base and Top Coat to seal and smooth out the glitter. Ryan says that he likes my new nails that they are very pretty. I took some pictures, but it was cloudy and the color isn’t very good. Of you look close at the bottle in the pictures you can see a hint of blue but it shows as silver on the nails in the pictures. Maybe that is part of the optical illusion.
