I digress... so I started off with Orly Snow Cone (yes, I am such a cheeseball that I even picked a polish with "snow" in the name). This is a lovely periwinkle-ish light blue that covered beautifully in one coat, but I did two for good measure. Here she is alone (and ignore the fact that blogger, again, has tilted the photo beyond my control).
Then I added what I affectionately call Mini Snow Globe, which is The Icing Crystal Heat (I have no idea where they got this name, absolutely none!). It's small, iridescent glitter:
Behold, a close up showing all the prettiness:
I really liked this mani BUT it came off in sheets and was chipping within 24 hours. I don't know if I should blame my base coat, the Orly, or the glitter... actually, scratch that. I refuse to blame the glitter. So this mani lasted about half a work day and one night before I had to peel it completely off because I looked like a moron.
Oh, and just for good measure, here's the two bottles together. Grown up Snow Globe on the left and baby Snow Globe on the right:
Snow Globe looks so much iridescent-ier than it's baby, but they both are really gorgeous and I can't really complain about it either way. As you can see, I'm very attached to both *tucks them into bed*. Also interesting that they essentially have the same bottle, but different brands. Wonder whose bottle shape came first!

Love it.
And I was totally thinking that The Icing was selling China Glaze when I first saw these bottles. They have to be from the same huge conglomeration corporation or something. Have to be!
Merry Christmas, Amanda!
This is so pretty! I like those mini glitters, it's really a mini Snow Globe!
I like Snow Globe's baby. Very pretty combo.
I love Snow Globe! And its mini version looks just as gorgeous!
This is a pretty combo!! I hate snow too and I live in NYC, so you're not alone.
My brother moved out to Cali, he says the rumors are false - you don't miss it once you're gone LOL
Thank you, they're two of my favorite glitters! Should have scooped up more of The Icing one though :(
Thanks! I like them both too, baby blue seems to go hand in hand with snow, in my mind.
It doesn't look it in the pictures of the bottle, but it really is! I should wear them together, but I think my brain would explode
Maybe, or maybe the vendor that makes the bottles sells to both companies? It's a conspiracy close to my heart because I love anything that you put in that shape bottle, regardless of brand haha Both brands are awesome!
