Dollish Polish Cold Winds are Rising and Glitter Placement

Hi guys! This weekend I was lucky enough to meet Dolly of Dollish Polish, and I picked up quite a few of her lovely creations! Today, I want to show you one that's named for one of my favorite TV shows, Game of Thrones.

This color is called Cold Winds are Rising, and it's a gorgeous dark gray crelly with different sized turquoise glitter. Shown above is three coats with matte top coat.

Here's a close up - I can spot extra small and small square glitters, and medium and large hex glitters. Gorgeous!

I paired this polish with some (poorly done) glitter placement. I got these giant holographic turquoise diamond glitters at a nail supply store in Queens, and they are gorgeous! My biggest issue was placing them - I tried to work quickly because my top coat was drying super fast, and that caused some error in the placement. Well, practice makes perfect!

I have tons more Dollish Polishes to show you, but until then, you can satisfy your cravings by going to their website here. Or like their Facebook page and keep updated on restocks and other news.

Taped Chevrons! With Dollish Polish

Hey guys, I had to cut my nails super short due to a tragic break, so try to keep an open mind for the next week! Haha!

So today's manicure is one I've been imagining since I won Dollish Polish Expecto Patronum from Chorubim's instagram giveaway. It had been delayed because I really wanted to incorporate chevrons into the manicure, but I couldn't find chevron scissors anywhere! So I gave in and bought a giant pack of a bunch of patterned scissors just so I could have the chevrons ;P I'm sure you'll see more tape patterned manicures soon!

I used a base of Essie Blanc for all four nails, and then topped the outside two with two coats of Expecto Patronum and the middle two with China Glaze Too Yacht to Handle.

Expecto Patronum is a gorgeous milky white jelly polish with different sized turquoise hex glitters scattered throughout. I love the way white jelly glitter polishes look, and this one is no exception! It applied flawlessly and required no fishing. You can get this polish and others from Dollish Polish here.

The chevrons, however, were a bit harder! This was my first time doing a crazy tape manicure, so there is definitely room for improvement. But I like the way it looks!
