Ulta: Pinata-Yada-Yada over and under white

I wanted to see how the sparse multi-colored glitter of Pinata-Yada-Yada looked over white, so I did two coats of Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Whirlwind White, and topped it with a coat of Pinata-Yada-Yada. I like it, but not as much as I liked it over black. Maybe it is the white I used.. I feel like it had a yellow tint to it, which I hateeee. But other than that it is pretty cool. Very festive. 

And then, because I love how China Glaze Party Hearty looks under a sheer white, I put two layers of OPI Funny Bunny (a very sheer white) over the previous mani. 

I like it better under the white. It reminds me of like... an unfocused camera or something like that. 

China Glaze: Frosty with OPI: Ink Tips

I really like this mani. I used China Glaze Frosty as a base - which is a color that is really gorgeous! I know it just seems like a sheer shiny white, but theres very pretty light blue and silver glitter that shines in the right light. Very very wintery. I love it. And I used cut up scotch tape to give myself a nice zig-zag tip in OPI Ink. I love how Ink makes frosty seem like a very light lilac color. J'adore! 

White on White w/ Party Hearty

Christmas mani! I meant to post like 10 christmas manis, but last week I tried this one and I seriously don't want to take it off. I did re-do it a few days ago, after it started chipping like crazy. But I just re-did the same thing. I'm glad I finally like Party Hearty - it looks so clean and classy over white. Yet still totally awesome and crazy and festive. 

This was over China Glaze White on White. I really want to find a white that is opaque in one coat. This was three coats of White on White and one coat of Party Hearty. 

China Glaze: Frosty

Yay! I'm still super excited that my CG Holiday collection came the other day. This is definitely one of my favorites, China Glaze Frosty. It is so shimmery and whimsical. Veryyyy wintery as well. I love the flecks. 

This polish was pretty sheer, but I actually like it that way. It can be layered or it can be built up. This was 4 coats, so it isn't too bad (like some 6 coaters out there). And any time spent doing extra coats is absolutely worth it, in my opinion. 

So me this definitely looks like glistening snow. Like snow that has been melting, but refroze. You know, the snow that is incredibly slippery and you don't realize it until you're on your ass on the sidewalk. 

And in the shade.. Still fabulous.
