Before & After: Ice Princess

Hello!!

Today's theme in the Crumpet's Nail Tarts 31 Day Challenge is to do nail art over a glitter base. This is something I struggle with--both because I hate covering up gorgeous glitter polishes, and because it can be difficult to find a pattern or set of patterns that work with the beauty of the glitter and also show up well.

But every once in a while, something comes out the way you hope it would.

I started out with Windestine's Peacekeeper, a shimmery, glimmery, frostily delicious milky-based polish with silver and purple glitters:

Then I stamped my heart out with Pueen 49, using Finger Paints It's An Original!. Finally, I added some diamond-shaped glitters to the design:

What do you think? I think this is a beautiful winter look, and I love the way the art plays off the polish and comes together. If I had it to do over again, I think I'd put the diamond glitters on each of the nails. I love it, it has a mosiac-y, kaleidoscope-y feel, and made me feel like a beautiful snow princess!

Hope you're having a great weekend!
