China Glaze Snow Globe

I fully recognize the irony of featuring a polish called Snow Globe when it’s pushing 90 degrees outside. But hey, I was in the mood for something sparkly! China Glaze Snow Globe has been around for a while, but it was recently re-released last holiday season with the Let It Snow Collection, so you can still find it easily online at places like Victoria’s Nail Supply. Snow Globe has a clear base chock-full of iridescent glitter in various shapes and sizes. I paired it with Essie Sweet Talker, a pastel blue shimmer.

And then a shot of the bottle, just because it's so pretty:

Snow Globe is somewhat similar to Butter London Tart With A Heart, but Tart With A Heart has specks of black glitter in it which are absent in Snow Globe and Snow Globe has more big hex pieces of glitter than Tart With A Heart. To my eye, Snow Globe also appears much more iridescent, perhaps because of those larger glitter pieces.

This is a beautiful polish. Even over a pale base like Sweet Talker, it catches the light really beautifully, almost like little sparkling scales. I used two coats here and the formula was pretty cooperative. I really love Snow Globe and I think it’s worth scouting out online. The clear base makes it really versatile and various base colors would definitely bring out different aspects of its iridescence. It’s an easy way to spruce up a mani, whether it’s snowing or sweltering outside!
