Essence: Cool Breeze

I found myself putting off Cool Breeze trying to figure out a good base color for it. I nearly skipped over My Little Kimono because of the shimmer, but I think the two work really well together.



....okay, not so much in that picture. lol Cool Breeze is a sheer base with small and tiny iridescent hex glitters. So when the sun hits them like that... they kinda wash out. To the shadow!



That's more like it. :) The formula was a little thicker than it needed to be, but it wasn't difficult to work with. This is one coat of Cool Breeze over two of My Little Kimono.



I also added topcoat. Since the base was so thick the glitters had that weird sunken effect without it. You can see it in the top picture still. Not overly exciting, but very pretty in an understated kind of way. I could see using it as 'faux snow' for nail art.

I decided on neon last night. Shortly before Sandy popped up wanting to see glow in the dark or texture. It'll work out, though. Neon should make a nice bright base for the glow polish and I can compare the two I have out (three if Ghoulish Glow comes in today) and then post the neons Wednesday. Did I say "neons" plural? Yes, I did. lol I really couldn't decide. hehehe Hope everyone's week is off to a great start! (^_^)"/"
