Sea Lore Wintry Friends Collection 2012

Can you believe it's STILL cold here in warm, sunny South Texas? It knew I was swatching the Wintry Friends Collection from Sea Lore I think! Today, I have the last three in the collection to show you.

I'm showing you the three of these in one post because I have the mini blogger samples and these three have been re-formulated and the amounts of glitter in the mini bottles re-calculated so that any the customers receive will have a formula a bit different from these. BUT I still wanted to show you the awesome colors. Just keep in mind that the formula on minis that customers receive will be less thick and will build nicely like the other in the collection I've already showed you. (Beluga Blizzard here and Snowy Seal here.) Photos are with two coats of color on each and one coat of Gelous.


Arctic Otter - Dark brown shimmering base with beige squares and tiny champagne glitter.

Again, these have been re-formulated, not to change the color or glitter combinations, but the formula consistency in the minis only. To see some great nail art with these, check out Jacki at Adventures in Acetone!

What do you think of these? Which is your favorite in the collection? I think mine is Arctic Otter, actually. I love the coppery brown color!

Sea Lore Wintry Friends - Beluga Blizzard

Well it's 42° here in sunny South Texas - wind chill at 36°. May not seem like very cold to my northern friends but I'm COLD! Not that I'm complaining. After 100° temps for what seems like forever, it's quite welcome! As is this wintry new color from Sea Lore: Beluga Blizzard.

Sea Lore Beluga Blizzard is one of their Wintry Friends Collection and it's described as a pearl white iridescent shimmering base with various shades of snow white glitter. Perfect description. I've used two light coats of this one over a white base. I think you could probably achieve opacity or near-opacity in 3-4 coats if you wanted to wear it on its own. Application was smooth and easy and I had no issues at all. Glitters laid down nicely and spread evenly on the nail with no digging or dabbing. One coat of Poshe top coat for the photos. To see some great nail art with this one, check out Jacki's post over at Adventures in Acetone!

Sea Lore Snowy Seal - Swatches and Review

Monday, Monday, can't trust that day...kind of like Texas weather.

The 80°F South Texas weather has taken a brief vacation to make room for a "cold front" being carried in on 50mph winds. So I thought a wintry polish might be appropriate.

Sea Lore Snowy Seal is one of their Wintry Friends Collection and it's  described as a "silver shimmering base with gunmetal and crystal hexes as well as silver and white glitter." I've used one coat of Snowy Seal over the Kiko #400 grey holo I was wearing, but it's opaque on its own in two coats. I've used two coats of Poshe but it is top coat hungry so a coat of Gelous before your favorite fast-dry top coat is advised if you want it perfectly smooth to the touch when dry. For gorgeous swatches of it on its own with some amazing nail art, check out Jacki's post (from Adventures in Acetone) here!

What do you think of this one? It really is a pretty silvery-grey glitter polish and it's perfect for a cold and windy South Texas coastal December day.
