Cover Girl Snowflake Frost

After wearing dark on my nails, I was in the mood for something nice an light. This is Snowflake Frost from the Cover Girl Nail Slicks collection. It is a very pretty sheer pearly metallic color. Depending on how the light hits it, it is either very pearly/shiny or barely there transparent. I applied 3 coats and the nail line was still visible.



The visible nail line doesn't usually bother me, but with this polish at certain angles it looked dirty and streaky instead of the pretty pearly color I wanted. I decided to try it over white, to keep the white pearly color, but hide the nail line. I used French White Cream from Wet and Wild underneath the CG Snowflake Frost. I really like how it turned out. Looks like I'm wearing pearls on my nails. Will do this combo again for sure.

This is two coats of French White Cream followed by two coats of Snowflake Frost and a topcoat...



Here is a little side by side comparison... Snowflake Frost by itself (left) vs Snowflake Frost over French White Cream (right).

What do you think? Is it better on it's own or over white?

I'm no door knob...

indoors

outdoors/sunshine
This color is a nice silver polish. It applied pretty easily and required 3 thin coats for full coverage without a visible nail line. The bottle claims the polish has a "built in topcoat", but I still added a top coat to make it extra super duper shiny :)
With this one, you have to be pretty careful with the application so it doesn't get streaky...

This is one of my oldies, so I'm not sure if it is still available in stores...

The color is an almost perfect match for the satin nickel door knobs I have in my house... :)

That's all for now :)
