Before & After: Zoya Aspen + Sugar Bubbles SBS 08 (Or, Winter snow!)

(Some items sent for review; affiliate links)

Hello!

Today's manicure blend two challenges in one mani, both my Winter Nail Art challenge (theme for today = Snow!) and my Crumpet Nail Tarts challenge (theme for today = Winter).


For this one I started with an excellent snow-y polish: Zoya Aspen, a white matte polish with an icy silver-blue shimmer:

Then I stamped using Sugar Bubbles SBS 08 and Barry M Gold Foil; for the decal, I colored in with Zoya Amal, Zoya Cinnamon, and Zoya Honor:

I took the snow portion of the image and carried it over onto the other nails; this is the sort of image that you can overlap pretty easily with a little care because the snowflakes are scattered. 

What do you think? This mani is the little girl in me that loves snow desperately and never gets to see it, and I think it captures the magic of the season, especially during childhood. 

Happy stamping!
M.

    The decal of the little girl is so cute. Her expression is full of bewilderment and excitement because of the falling snow, lovely!
