I'm so stoked. I finally splurged and bought my HG facial moisturizer, Kiehl's Rose Artica, after going on a vacation from it for a few months. I was being stubborn and wanted to find a similar moisturizer for cheaper using the Sephora VIB discount. I tried both Dior Hydra Life and Korre's and neither were heavy enough for my super dry skin in the winter. I've always appreciate a good Dior product and Hydra Life has a nice light texture but was more suitable for normal skin. Korre's, which was super popular on the Sephora website and had tons of great reviews, was similar but had a stronger smell and a lower price point. After my skin going through a number of break outs this past month I decided to suck it up and spend the extra money to buy a product that I know works for me. Do you have this problem? Are you stuck on an expensive product with no cheaper option available? What's your HG moisturizer?
Today's eye candy is I Love Nail Polish My Little Glacier, metallic light blue duochrome that shifts from a metallic cobalt blue to silver. Formula is on the thin side but easy to manage with the wide brush and applies with minimal pooling and thankfully no major brushstrokes. I used three coats here with no topcoat.

This is one of those colors that you HAVE to stamp over, so I pulled out my neglected Bundle Monster plates and used the peacock print. I wanted a dark blue cream but ended up using China Glaze Bermuda Breakaway which I don't think was dark enough. It a subtle print, but is pretty to look up when seen up close. I finished this with a layer of topcoat.

My nails are still too long to take to a regular stamping image. I wish there was a better selection of larger stamping plates out there that didn't cost an arm and a leg. I seem to be in a nail art rut as well and haven't done any other techniques lately. When this happens, what do you use for inspiration?
This is a pretty color. I love how icy it looks. Beautiful stamping too!
