Today's nails are yet again another re-paint from last week. I never do that kind of thing. Must be some weird phase. Anyway, I grabbed for a shade that I usually don't like much and thought I should give it another chance. It is " Yummy Mummy" from Butter London. It's a soft almost beigey-grey with a very subtle shimmer, but I always find that it's too similar in depth to my skin tone. Not a fan. Instead of starting all over, I figured why not just throw some glitter on it and see what happens, right? So I added " Ice Queen" from KB Shimmer and I absolutely love the combo! "Ice Queen" is just a pretty densely packed holographic glitter with a variety of shapes and sizes in a clear base. It's absolutely amazing and I love it, but it can be a bit much everyday. Somehow I took the most boring color and the most amazing, intense glitter and made something fun, but not over the top...at least in my eyes. Absolutely love, love, love this combo!

I used two coats of " Yummy Mummy" - the formula is excellent and it actually covered almost perfectly in one coat, but I added the second to make it tad deeper. I topped it with a single coat of " Ice Queen" which is a dream of a glitter. The glitter isn't too chunky, you don't get clumps or patches and it just applies beautifully every time! There are some diamond shapes hiding in there that don't appear too often, but I suppose you could fish for them if wanted. I have one on my thumb, but that's it this time around. So pretty! So fun! And still somewhat tasteful...for glitter. J
