Day 330) Finding perfect snow nails (part 2)
And here is my part 2.
Again all with the same white polish as base: Claire's White
For the part 2 nails I used the following:
Cotton ball (just a little bit)
Pupa Crazy Lurex (bar glitter in a kind of cotton stuff)
White holo glitter
Salt
Without topcoat.
If you want the nails to last, you'll need a topcoat for all of them.
With topcoat.
You'll lose some of the fluffiness from the cotton and the salt will absorb some of the topcoat.
Findings:
Most pretty: Pupa Crazy Lurex and white holo glitter
Best snow look without topcoat: Cotton (fluffy snow) and salt (powder snow)
Best snow look with topcoat: Cotton
Easiest to work with: Pupa Crazy Lurex, white holo glitter and salt (easiest to clean cuticles)
My winner: Cotton (full nail), salt (nail art), glitters (pretty nail art).
Putting part one and two together:
For the best snow look without topcoat: Artificial snow
For the best snow look with topcoat: Deco snow and Cotton

Day 330) Finding perfect snow nails (part 1)
I've been on a quest to find the perfect snow nails.
With perfect snow nails I mean the stuff you could use to create the best snow look.
I've been looking for glitter snow paste that they use for crafting but it's only available at art-/hobby/-craft stores and there isn't any near my place.
So, I ended up trying other stuff.
For all the nails shown today I've used a white base (Claire's White)
For the first nails I used the following:
Decorative snow
Claire's 87688 Fluffy
Granulated Sugar
Artificial snow
This is without topcoat.
If you want your nails to last you'll need a topcoat for the deco snow, sugar and artificial snow.
This is with topcoat.
As you can see you're losing some of the fluffiness from the deco snow and a lot of it from the artificial snow.
Findings:
Most pretty: Claire's fluffy
Best snow look without topcoat: Artificial snow (by far)
Best snow look with topcoat: Deco snow
Easiest to work with: Sugar
My winner: Deco snow (full nail), Artificial snow (nail art)
