During Christmas time one of my friends was debating what nail
polish she was going to wear with her Christmas dress and was wanting
to do a polish that sparkled like snow. This made me immediately think
of China Glaze's Snow Globe and I decided to do a snowy manicure.
I started off with two coats of China Glazes Skyscraper from their
Metro collection in fall of 2011. This nail polish is one of my top 10
favourite polishes, it is a blue inky base loaded with silver sparkles. I
usually do three coats of this polish to get it opaque, but since I was
going to put other polishes on top of it I didn't bother with the
third. I got my China Glaze Skyscraper as a stocking stuffer last
Christmas, but you can still purchase it on ebay for around $7.00 with
shipping, which is still cheaper than it would cost you for a China
Glaze polish in a Canadian Salon or Sally's Beauty.

The second polish I used was one coat of Wet n Wild's Kaleidoscope
from their Wild Shine collection, which I purchased on sale at Wal-mart
for $1.00. I'm not sure they have this specific polish in the store
anymore, but since it is a Holo glitter polish in a clear base with some
small silver glitter in it, it wouldn't be hard to find another polish
that is similar.
The last polish I used was two coats of China Glaze's Snow Globe, which
was from their Let it Snow collection in Christmas of 2011. This was
another stocking stuffer for Christmas last year and I know that it was
bought at Chatters Hair Salon and came in a set with another Christmas
polish. I don't think they have this polish in the stores anymore, but
you can still get it on ebay for around $8.00.
I don't know how many of you know about the dry climate and dry snow in
Alberta, but it is fine and powdery and sparkles
like.....well....sparkles! My mani isn't really all that snowy, but I
love how it turned out and now my friend Sarah will know what Snow Globe
looks like.
Thank-you for reading!
