From the Vault: 2017 Winter Stamping

One of my resolutions for 2018 is to clear out the 'vault' better known as the backlog.

When I blog I prioritize press samples before anything else. What happens is that when I photograph a polish I've purchased and sometimes nailart, it tends to take a very long time before I can publish it. So there will definitely be older watermarks and possibly different hand poses, lighting, maybe even shot with my previous camera. The order of these types of posts is completely random and I won't set a schedule, so they'll be a surprise!

To accomplish this goal, these kinds of posts will be short and sweet without much detail. I'm happy to answer questions, just leave a comment!
I also will not be promoting these posts outside my own social media - please follow my blog or facebook page if you're interested in seeing these.

Bee's Knees and Different Dimension

Friend from Work from Bee's Knees is a pretty purple squishy jelly with a sprinkle of microglitters in it. I enjoyed wearing this at 2 coats, with topcoat.





Editing on 2/10 to add: It was brought to my attention by another customer of Bee's Knees that my swatch images don't look like their bottle at all. After a few days of working with her, a few other customers, Sarah and a couple of friends of mine, I have found that the shimmers and flakes sink to the bottom. I didn't shake the polish before application so only the jelly base and very few shimmers are shown in my photos. Today I have spent from almost six hours now shaking my bottle on my izenpro shaker and leaving it upside down. It has been shaken about once an hour on average - six times total. It is still not completely mixed, but I am seeing a difference in how much shimmer and flake is mixing with the base which also appears to be transforming the color of the base. I may swatch it again once everything appears to be dispersed better to see if it looks different from the swatches in this post.

After a day or so, I added one coat of Different Dimension's Cold As Ice on top of the Bee's Knees. I love this combo!





What is your favorite combo?
