Fading Southern Lights

I love Models Own - Southern Lights and haven't used it for a while, so when I had the urge for a quick glitter fade it was the first polish I reached for. It's so sparkly!! The way the holo glitter pieces catch the light is completely mesmerising, this is definitely a distracting mani! One drawback is that the formula is quite thick, meaning that if you use it with Seche you are likely to get shrinkage. To avoid this I used the thinnest coats possible and layered them up to my preferred glitter density. 

The base colour is Rimmel - Little Bo Peep which is an absolutely gorgeous pale grey. This shade is perfect for the transition between winter and spring.

I usually do glitter fades with darker polishes so it was nice to do a lighter version. I love the wintery effect of the blues and greys, they remind me of the skiing holiday I already wish I was back on!! Although we've already started on our spring nail inspiration it's still only February so thought we'd throw in some frosty nails for you!

Love,
