Today I have a couple of polishes from indie polish brand KBShimmer. Christy put out an excellent holiday collection this year, and I had a hard time sticking to my self-imposed limit of two polishes.
My first choice was super easy. Snow Way! is a totally unique polish. I am completely unaware of a polish similar to this one. The base is a squishy, pale blue jelly that reminds me of a clear, sunny winter sky. The glitters in this mix are all matte white and combine with the base to mimic fluffy snowflakes.
The following mani was three thin coats. I had to be mindful to wait a couple of minutes between coats to avoid dragging. The glitter flowed nicely and no "placing" was necessary. It looks as if there is some balding on the middle finger, but that was not the case in real life.
Cocoa Nut was my second choice. I debated between it, No Whine Left, and Witch Way. I love purples, but in the end, the unique pairing of brown and pink glitter won out.
Application was simple as pie with this one. The base is a warm chocolate brown with small brown glitters. There is a significant smattering of larger, shiny, bright fuchsia glitter. Two coats was all that was needed for opacity and it dried super smooth and glossy.
