JulieG Holiday 2013 Frosted Gum Drops Collection-post 2

I need to start this off with a warning. BASE COAT! Base coat the hell out of your nails before using Sleigh Ride. Look:

 Not hugely pleased about that, but shit happens, and I really like the polish.


Ok, today I have Silver Bells and Ho Ho Ho. I was talking about polish with one of the kids at work (I'm a nanny; currently have girls aged 8 and 3, and boy aged 5) about the blue, and asking what I should do next. 3yr old A suggested love hearts. Pink ones. So, I obliged.
First up-macro bottle shots.

Silver Bells-did you pick that?

Ho Ho Ho.

Ho Ho Ho is pinker than I had hoped. Yes, it looks pink in the bottle, and I know that comment sounds ridiculous.

And nail shots.

 Macro shot, in attempt to show texturey loveliness.

 I have a couple nubbins at the moment. I had a bad, bad nail day. I cannot face nubbin-ising them all, so they are uneven.
I did the hearts with doting tools. This polish dries fast-which is fantastic for following coats (all pics are 2 coats), but it means you need to work fast when dotting/drawing etc.
Again-no problems with formula or application, it's east to apply and the fast drying means you aren't waiting around to apply the second coat.

JulieG Holiday 2013 Frosted Gum Drops collection-post 1

Today I have a post about one of the polishes from JulieG Frosted Gum Drops 2013 Holiday Collection. It's gorgeous. I have the whole collection, but as I plan to wear them all over the next week, I figured I'd make them all separate post. Up today is Sleigh Ride.

Isn't it lovely?
And here is a macro bottle shot, just because.

It's a beautifully sparkly polish, and-as stated on the bottle-textured.

Application is easy, it's not too thick or thin, overall a great formula. I have used 2 coats in the following photos. I'd apologise for my clean-up, but I feel like I've said it all before.

I took a couple of macro shots, trying to capture the texture.

I added 2 coats of top coat to my ring finger, just to see. It doesn't feel much different at all, and there isn't a lot of visual difference either.

The top coat actually makes it harder to photograph.

So, that is Sleigh Ride. I have no idea, yet, which I'll use next.
