Today I am getting back to showing the China Glaze Let it Snow polishes I have. I have two more to show. I may yet pick up Winterberry and perhaps Velvet Bow. We'll see.
Today's swatch is Twinkle Lights. A glitter, it is made up of small square glitter in shades of red, green and gold in a clear suspension base. This polish can be used as a layering polish or with additional coats, will pave the nail in a smooth, perfect coat of sparkle and shine.
Crappity-doo-dah! I forgot to write down how many coats of this polish I applied. and for the life of me, I can't remember. I think? It was three? Maybe? Probably... I think it wasn't quite paved as I wanted with two so I went with three. I think...
Anywhoozle, this shit is really pretty. Seriously shiny and sparkly. It kinda freaked my poor camera out. But I think you get the idea of the gorgeous from these photographs. They are clickable to see all of the colour and detail. These were shot in my lightbox under my OttLight.
China Glaze Twinkle Lights has a very nice formula. This was easy to apply, the glitter spread on pretty smoothly and evenly without having to muck about with it. Dry time is good. The texture as it dries is fairly smooth but this definitely needs a good, thick top coat to make it all glassy and maximize the sparkle and shine.
This is another winner in my book and I am looking forward to wearing this, this Christmas season. I can see this paired with red, green, over other glitters, as a funky, glittery French, as accent nails... The possibilities are endless.
Okay, so... Do you own this beauty? Love it? Please share.
Thank you so much for popping in. Have a fab day and may your polish never bubble.
I have this polish and I love it!! I can't wait for December to roll around so I can start wearing it.
ReplyDeleteWay too happy and blingy for me!!
ReplyDeleteSarah, I feel the same way. I can't wait to wear this one. It's a beaut. :D
ReplyDeleteFingers, you are too funny. But I get it. Sparkly isn't for everyone. :)
ReplyDeleteI don't own this one, but almost picked it up the other day. I kinda want it in a mini because I know I won't use it much, but I didn't want the other 2 (3?) that were packaged with it.
ReplyDeleteMight as well get the big one, Megan. :D lol
ReplyDeleteLove that glitter! So gorgeous *DROOL*
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty color! I need it! So festive!!!
ReplyDeleteI am passing on the Versatile Blogger Award onto you!!! Check it out at allthatisgorgeous.blogspot.com!
I've already worn this as a mani once — I couldn't help it, it's so pretty! But I'll definitely be trying different things with it when December begins.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty. I actually passed on this one when I was at Sally's last because I thought it was too similar to the one from last year, but now I can see its not, and its definitely on my list.
ReplyDeleteI have this polish and it's highly reflective. I've been testing it over a bunch of other polishes and the winning undercoat is Fingerpaints Comet's Collar. So come Friday that's what I'll be wearing! (3 coats of Comet's Collar (it's super thin) plus one of Twinkle Lights) I've been having a lot of fun with sparkling polishes lately.
ReplyDeleteLOOOOOOOVE this! I knew I had to have it the first time I saw it! I actually ended up with the entire Let It Snow collection! :X It's a great polish and I can't wait to wear it for Christmas!! :D
ReplyDeleteI have this one and I can't wait to wear it! So pretty :)
ReplyDeleteI have this one, and I love it! It's so pretty you can't stop looking at your nails when you wear it :)
ReplyDeleteKelly, right? Drool indeed. I love this. :)
ReplyDeleteAllThatis Gorgeous, it is festive and fun. One of my faves for Holiday, this year. :D
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the award. That was so sweet of you.
triceratops, (I love your screen name... :D) I often wear polishes too soon or in the "wrong" season. I like to be ornery, that way. :D
ReplyDeleteKelli Kat, It is definitely different from Party Hearty. Same red, gold and green but the glitter shape and how it covers is different. They are both worth owning, IMO. :D
ReplyDeleteDesert Nails, thanks for the ideas. And I might have to get Comet;s Collar, if Sally's still has it.
ReplyDeleteI am on glitter gluttony, this year. I loves me a good glittery, shimmery polish and I am having a blast with all of the sparkly stuff, this season. :D
babypanda, I have almost all of the colours from this collection that I want. I may pick up a couple more... But I am happy with what I have. :D I am looking forward to wearing this as a full mani. Yes... I am. :D
ReplyDeleteTin Roof, you are going to love it. :D
ReplyDeleteManda, I agree. When I swatched this, I almost applied it to the rest of my nails and wore it but I had others to get swatched, so off it came. I am going to enjoy wearing this as a full mani. :)
ReplyDeleteI wore this yesterday - it is so pretty! I really like it a lot.
ReplyDeleteI like it, but I'm not gonna buy it
ReplyDeleteI just bought this last week, and now that I've seen it on someone I can't wait for next month! Thanks for sharing =)
ReplyDeleteTikiBarbie, it is so pretty and I bet it looked fab on you. :)
ReplyDeleteWell, alright, then, Shannara. ;) :D But seriously, I feel ya. I have liked polishes that I didn't buy. :D
ReplyDeleteMy Love of Lacquer, my pleasure. I hope that you really enjoy it. :D
