Snowfairy Nails with OPI - Snow Globetrotter (Gwen Stefani Holiday Collection 2014)

Today I have some Snow Fairy/Winter Wonderland nails for you: I used Snow Globetrotter over OPI My Vampire is Buff and OPI Pearl Diver. The result was kind of mesmerizing, I just had to imagine the low temps and the loads of snow to be in a winter wonderland!

I love the result, although it is not really "me", I'm more of a bold/solid colour kind of girl.
Snow Globetrotter (and its black counterpart Comet in the Sky) are lovely glitters with a great glitter payoff: this is just one easy coat.
I would love to see this one over a metallic base like OPI Love Angel Music Baby (Rolling in Cashmere officially didn't make it to my stash, too frosty for my taste). Maybe I will wear that combination for Christmas this year?!

And I did wear it over OPI Love Angel Music Baby for Christmas:

Then I have a little experiment.....I was inspired by the spring runway nails by OPI in the variation "Messy Touches" as can be seen here and even better here.
I used colours that were a bit more autumn (I shouldn't have though). It was fun to do but the result is a bit...I don't know...messy?!

OPI - My Dogsled is a Hybrid (Nordic Collection autumn 2014) and Elevation Polish - Plumeria (Heights of Hawaii Collection, January 2014)

When I bought OPI My Dogsled is a Hybrid, i had the impression it would be a mint. But it isn't it's a light jade or perhaps a minted jade (can one say such a thing?). It's a lovely intense colour, a happy and bright note for autumn: I like it!

And just because the combination looked so lovely I added a coat of Elevation Polish Plumeria, an all circle glitter topper with blue shimmer in it's transparent base.

My dogsled was very pigmented and needed only two coats (if you are lucky perhaps just one), it dried very quickly so it's self leveling capacities were not spectacular: work fast and don't fiddle.

Plumeria was very thick and it was hard to place the big glitters. So I did as Elevation Polish says on the website: "To achieve more glitter per nail, dunk brush in polish, swipe brush on the inside neck of the bottle, grab the circle glitters from the inside neck and apply directly to the nail." For the grabbing a used a sate pin.

I think the end result is lovely: the blue shimmer stands out just enough and the soft colours of the glitter compliment the green perfectly.
