Summer Snow

*planned post; me relaxing on the beaches of Folegandros*

How about a snowy nail look in the middle of summer? I say - refreshing! : D

In reality I happened to see snow in the middle of July - in a dark and gloomy but yet beloved place where I was born and raised. Polish-wise: here I am talking about one representative of El Corazón Lace&Paillettes collection, which they released for spring-summer 2013, although it's full of "heavy artillery" festive glitters. And the icy polish below is El Corazón Lace&Paillettes #01!

The baby blue gritty thing consists of large blue hexagons and smaller white glitter in a blueish-transparent base. The glitter is very dense, so I didn't layer it over a creme and applied on its own instead.

The bottle is typical El Corazón Kaleidoscope with a nice thin brush. I like how the roses on a bottle look over a blue background!

The opacity is reached with 2 coats already. Application is fine, it's just you'll have thicker coats because of such large amounts of glitter stuffed inside a bottle. As I said, the finish is gritty, and top coat is not of any help here :) So you can enjoy scratching your cheeks with  the surface of your nails :)

To be honest I was feeling myself like an ice queen when I was wearing it! Surprisingly, this glitter looked quite harmonic even in summer, although I plan to wear it in winter again : ) 

And yes, it reminds me a lot of lace and paillettes, so the name of the collection matches perfectly! :)
