I Love Nail Polish My Little Glacier Swatch And Review

Purchased

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?
