Hello m'dears, I hope you enjoyed your weekend! Yesterday we took LO and Grandma to the LA Zoo. I've lived here for over ten years and have never gone, so it was a first time experience for me, and as a mom at that. It's comparable to other zoos that I've been to, which involve a lot of walking and a lot of sleeping hard to see animals. Overall it was memorable family experience, but I'll probably wait another couple years before we repeat it again!
Today's polish is a remnant of last winter's Pahlish collection, and it's rightfully called Winter's Heart. It's a deep cerulean blue jelly embedded with tiny matte black glitters and larger silver hex glitters. The formula was a bit thick and sticky making it difficult to control, making neat application nearly impossible. There was also quite a bit of glitter drag with the larger hex glitters, but two coats covered up the streaks and allowed even coverage. It dries a bit matte so topcoat is needed for shine.

This is one of the more unusual polishes that I've tried to date, in that it's a shade of blue that I'm not accustomed to seeing as a jelly. It's got a bit of a teal edge to it but it's a saturated deep blue, almost like looking into a deepest part of a lagoon. The tiny matte black glitters are unexpected as well, not something I would think to put into a dark jelly shade. They seem to get overpowered by the jelly which makes it hard to appreciate them. It does add a subdued sparkle to the jelly, but to be honest, I think I'd rather just having the jelly by itself in that case. I think it would have a juicier, squishier effect by itself. Now I want to go find a jelly in this color... has this ever happened to you? Is there a jelly out there that would fit this craving?
