Glitter Guilty Pleasures Box: December 2013

I have some swatches of the December Glitter Guilty Pleasures Box. I have really liked this subscription and I feel like it is one of the best sub deals out there. Beautiful, seasonal, and unique polish plus a treat for only $16 including shipping.

You might notice a random snowflake added to these pictures. Well, I had a really nasty hangnail that turned into a nasty-looking wound. I needed to swatch though so I decided to take a leaf out of Kayla Shevonne's book and just cover it up with a graphic.... because no one wants to see that haha. I couldn't find a bandaid so I used a snowflake.

The Monthly Mini for December was Pine Cones and Holly Berries. This glitter topper has metallic gold, fuchsia, and magenta glitters in a variety of shapes including gold dots. I used this glitter topper over Essie Sew Psyched, which was a genius combination if I do say so myself ;-)

I really like how versatile this glitter topper is. The jewel tones make it more seasonally appropriate than a Christmas-only polish, which is nice because I'm sure not everyone subscribing to GG celebrates Christmas. 

My custom this month was Snowed In, a powder blue crelly with blue, silver holo, and satin white glitters along with SNOWFLAKE glitters! I used three thin coats letting each coat dry well before the next.

I fished and placed the snowflake glitters. I see now that I should have maybe placed a few of the flakes in between my second and third thin coats, but oh well, I'll have to keep that in mind for next time.
