I'd planned on doing a Christmas plaid mani, but when I looked at my polish I couldn't bring myself to use any more reds or greens! These two polishes really stood out and screamed I should go with winter wonderland vibes instead.

The blue is a drugstore polish from the early 2010s, when textured polishes were all the rage. It's pretty as a textured polish, but I much prefer it with top coat and am blown away that it's held up for so long. Maybe I'm a little delulu, but I feel like it holds its own against some of today's indie glitters.

    I’m ready for a palette cleanser as well, and I love what you’ve done. Totally agree that there’s some older/vintage polishes that easily hold their own against modern indies. (No shade to modern indies, lots of those have a hold on my heart!) I’m planning to pull out an old L’Oréal for NYE, Gypsy Glitz.
