Hello!
So, on Black Friday, Stella Chroma is releasing three awesome polish sets--I already showed you one, the Limited Edition Holiday Duo, here. Today we're going to look at The Nutcracker Trio, inspired by The Nutcracker ballet, and if you love flakies, OMG are you gonna want to mark your calendar for this.
First up, let's take a look at Stella Chroma Sugarplum Fairy, a delicate, pale lavender crelly with red/green/purple iridescent flakies and green/yellow shimmer:

Formula: Excellent; no problems with application.
Other: Excellent dry time and removal.
This is what a blizzard looks like in some magical fairytale world where princesses ride unicorns and gemstones pave the streets. So beautiful.
Next up is Stella Chroma Herr Drosselmeier, a pale grey crelly packed with red-orange-yello iridescent flakies and red-gold shimmer:

Coverage: 2-3 coats; I'm wearing three in these pictures.
Formula: Excellent; no problems with application.
Other: Excellent dry time and removal.
You guys! This is like a white fire opal for your nails. I have a small fire opal pendant that I LOVE and I can't wait to wear it with this polish on my nails. This glows from the inside like CRAZY.
And finally, we have Stella Chroma Mother Ginger, a bright blue jelly polish with red/orange/blue iridescent flakies and green/yellow shimmer:

Formula: Excellent; no problems with application.
Other: Excellent dry time and removal. I wondered if this might stain, but I had no problems there, either.
So, that magical place I mentioned up above, where princesses ride unicorns? This is what their lakes look like. Deep and shimmery and filled with magical flakes.
So, what do I think about this trio? I was lucky enough to go on a school trip to see a special matinee production of The Nutcracker when I was eight, and I've loved it ever since--it's an important part of my holiday traditions, even though I usually have to watch it on DVD rather than see a live production. There's something so magical about the intersection of Christmas and ballet that makes lots of little girls' (and boys'!) hearts flutter, and I think the combination of flakies and other assorted nail magic in these capture the feel beautifully.

This trio will be available in Stella Chroma's store on Black Friday at noon EST; you can purchase each separately for $12 or the set for $33, through December 7th. And, from Black Friday--Cyber Monday, she's offering free domestic shipping with any purchase of $25 or more--no code required. She'll also give a free upgrade to domestic priority shipping from Dec. 14-19, since the 19th is the last day to ship in time for Christmas.
And a portion of the proceeds of all the polishes that Stella Chroma sells during the last quarter of 2018 will be donated to GirlStart, a non-profit based in Austin, Texas that helps young girls develop interests in STEM.
And in the meantime, you can find Stella Chroma all over the interwebs:
