Essie Marshmallow & China Glaze Snow Globe

Hey dolls, I finally took off A England Avalon earlier this evening. I wanted something very light with an airy feel and I ended up with Essie Marshmallow and ChG Snow Globe. Essie Marshmallow has quickly become one of my favorite whites. I love it on its own because it isn't as stark a contrast against my skin tone. The formula is thin, but builds up relatively easily. I used two coats in the picture below. I don't usually mind visible nail line and I'm also layering, so I stopped at only two.
Love how soft and delicate Marshmallow looks! I then added one coat of China Glaze Snow Globe for a little sparkle. Snow Globe is a silver glitter in a clear base, filled with irregular holo and iridescent particles. The formula was a little thick and hung off the edges of my nails, but that was easily fixed.
I like this combination together. It reminds me of the book Rainbow Fish (I used to read this to my student's all the time).
Now I have to figure out what my Christmas mani will be...I'm thinking something involving ChG Twinkle Lights.

So pretty!! I wonder if you could do a pseudo jelly sandwich with Marshmallow? Just popped into my head after seeing your pics.

That's a great idea! It just may be thin enough.

How did you get two coats of Essie Marshmallow to look so amazing!! It looks so streaky on me. I'm gonna try to add a tiny bit of thinner to my bottle. I hope that works.

I really didn't do anything special to it. I need to use this in a jelly sandwich asap!
