Pink Snowy Manicure Featuring Sation, Lynnderella and Zoya Nail Polishes

As the rich darks of autumn and the festive brights of Christmas faded and being still in the depth of winter, I longed for a fresh snowy manicure, reflecting the crystalline beauty of my native land. With a twist. Alaska in the winter is frosty shades of icy blue and grey but I needed a warmer cheeriness and I pictured a nude pink snowy manicure. I loved this manicure!!! Loved it the most since...the last manicure I loved. I also found the lightness of the nude pink to be a great palette cleanser after Christmas.



I began with Sation Freeze Frame, pictured at the left. It is a light cool sheer pink with tonal shimmer. I don't think anyone does this kind of embedded shimmer like Sation. It's not frosty and it's not creme. It's much more interesting than either of those formulas, in my opinion, and gives more life to the look of the polish.

Being slightly cooler pink than I had in mind, I next put a layer of Zoya Bailey on top of the Sation. Bailey is a light sheer nude pink with pink and icy shimmers. The two polishes combined to give the nude pink I had in my mind.



For my snowy effect, I applied a layer of Lynnderella Snow Angel. It is a complex white glitter that has micro circular pieces and small squares and circles. It applies with a light sheen that was sheer perfection for the manicure I wanted. I didn't use an additional top coat because of the look I was longing for. I had a cluster of squares on one finger that were uneven and one caught on something and pulled off. Without a top coat, this was the perfect idea I had in mind.





I can't tell you how much I loved this manicure. It just pleased me to no end. Loved, loved, loved it!!



Additionally, I have some news from Sation regarding a new collection coming out called Candylandia. It's inspired from the Habro board game Candyland!!

I'm wanting to ask you if you felt the need for a palette cleansing manicure after the holidays like I did?
