Snowball Fight!

  This year for Christmas, one of my gifts from my sister Becky was a totally gorgeous glitter topcoat from Darling Diva Polish, with snowflake glitter in it!  How awesome is that?

  For this manicure, I started out with a purple base color (It was just two days before the Fiesta Bowl), a England Lady of the Lake.  This medium purple holo is of course great on its own, but also made a perfect base for Darling Diva Snowball.  This polish is a glitter-fest in a clear base; it contains white glitters in bar, large and small hex, and snowflakes shapes, as well as silver hex and various sizes of blue-green, incandescent glitters.  While the glitter did end up making the polish look a bit more blue than purple, I still love the finished look.

  The snowflakes were sort of a pain to get out of the bottle, but in the end it was worth it.  I put on about three or four layers of topcoat and still couldn't get them to lay completely flat, but I didn't have much of a problem with them snagging for several days (I started to pick at them, so that's my fault).  Lovely polish and perfect for a snowy winter day.
