Sea Lore Wintry Friends Day 5: Beluga Blizzard!

Hello readers! Today's post is the final polish of Sea Lore's new Wintry Friends Collection. I hope you got to see the previous 4 posts on Glacial Grayling, Snowy Seal, Wintry Whale, and Arctic Otter. Be sure to check them out if you missed any of them, these polishes are gorgeous!

Our final polish is called Beluga Blizzard. This is the only one from the collection that I wore a base color with. I'm guessing you can get it to full coverage after 3-4 coats but I chose to layer one coat over Milani White On The Spot to save time. It's a great topper and looks awesome over other colors, too.  You can see a nail wheel photo of Beluga Blizzard over other base colors on Sea Lore's Facebook Page HERE. I think I'll do some wintry nail art with it this season!

As with the others in this collection, it's a hungry glitter so 2 coats of top coat or the use of Gelous is recommended. It went on easily and is described as a "pearl white iridescent shimmering base with various shades of snow white glitter." The iridescent shimmers looked blue and pink to me in person and I *think* I got them to show enough in one of my pictures for you to see. GORGEOUS complexity to this white glitter polish. I did a beluga whale for my accent nail.




You can see some of the blue iridescent shimmer on my middle and index finger.

Hi there, baby beluga!


What do you think of Beluga Blizzard? When we were at Sea World last winter, we got to see the beluga whales and Hailey loved them! Did you know that they are called "sea canaries" because they sing underwater when they are communicating?

I hope you enjoyed these 5 posts on the new Wintry Friends Collection from Sea Lore! Here is a little picture collage with all of them:

Sea Lore Wintry Friends Day 4: Arctic Otter!

Good morning! It's time for the next polish from Sea Lore's Wintry Friends Collection! If you missed my last 3 posts on Glacial Grayling, Snowy Seal, and Wintry Whale, please be sure to check them out!

Today I have Arctic Otter! Jamie describes it as a "dark brown shimmering base with beige squares and tiny champagne glitter." It is so shimmery that it reminds me of a metallic brown! I had no issues with application and I am showing 2 coats with 2 coats of top coat. Make sure you let the first coat dry before adding the second to prevent any dragging. It's a hungry glitter so Gelous or two coats of your favorite top coat will help with the texture. I decided to do a cute little otter head on my accent nail!


Such a pretty brown polish!!



Hi little otter!

Look at the flakies!

This was my husband's favorite when we were looking at the bottles when they came in the mail. It is definitely gorgeous and I am so happy I have it in my collection! I don't have many browns and this one is a winner! What do you think of Arctic Otter? We took a boat tour when we lived in Alaska and we got to see the otters floating around on their backs in the ocean! They are so adorable!

I can't wait to show you the final polish in the Sea Lore Wintry Friends Collection so check back tomorrow for that! Thanks for reading!

Sea Lore Wintry Friends Day 3: Wintry Whale!

Hello readers! Are you ready for day 3 of Sea Lore's Wintry Friends Collection? Yesterday I showed you Snowy Seal so make sure you go check out that post if you missed it. Glacial Grayling was Saturday's post so check that one out as well if you missed it! Today, I have my favorite from the collection to show you. It's blue(are you surprised that it's my favorite? hehe) and so gorgeous!

Wintry Whale is described as a "dark blue shimmering base with several shades of blue glitter and baby blue squares." This was my very favorite of the set. It made me think of blue jeans with some added sparkle! As with the two I've already shown you, I did 2 coats followed by 2 coats of Poshe top coat. It's a top coat eater so Gelous may be your friend with this collection. I had no application issues, but make sure you let the first coat dry before adding the second coat so you don't get any dragging. I also did a cute little whale on my accent nail!





My cute little wintry whale.

How amazing is this polish?!

What do you think of Wintry Whale? If you are a blue lover, it's a must have in your collection. There are 2 more Wintry Friends to show you in the next couple of days so check back tomorrow! Thanks for reading!

Sea Lore Wintry Friends Day 2: Snowy Seal!

Hello readers! Are you ready for day 2 of Sea Lore's Wintry Friends Collection? If you missed it, check yesterday's post on Glacial Grayling!

I'm showing Snowy Seal today and did some nail art inspired by the name of the polish as well! Jamie describes it as a "silver shimmering base with gunmetal and crystal hexes as well as silver and white glitter." This is gorgeous! It has the look of a metallic silver foil but is packed with shimmer and glitter to make it way more interesting. I'm showing 2 coats with 2 coats of Poshe top coat. As with the others of this set, they are "hungry for top coat" and need more than one coat(or the use of Gelous before your favorite quick dry) of top coat if texture bothers you. Also, they are so packed that you should let the first coat dry before adding the second to prevent any dragging. 





What do you think of my snowy seal nail art?

I can see icy blue micro flakes!

What do you think of Snowy Seal? I can't wait for you to see the other 3 in this collection so check back tomorrow for Day 3! Thanks for reading!

Sea Lore Wintry Friends Day 1: Glacial Grayling!

Good morning readers! I have an exciting 5 posts planned for you on the new collection from Sea Lore! This collection is called Wintry Friends and is inspired by some arctic animals and the names are super cute! I decided to do some nail art to match the polish names as well.

There are 5 in this collection and 4 of them are 2 coaters! The exception is Beluga Blizzard, a snowy white glitter that is great as a topper but it may build up if you do 3-4 coats on it's own. They are a great winter collection because the colors can be worn all year round!


Arctic Otter, Snowy Seal, Wintry Whale, Beluga Blizzard, and Glacial Grayling.

Today I'm showing you Glacial Grayling! Jamie describes it as a "blue grey shimmering base with iridescent rainbow squares and holographic micro glitter." There are micro flakes that are making the base shimmery--this polish is so complex! I love love love it! We used to fish for Grayling when we were stationed in Alaska so I was really excited to see this in the Wintry Friends Collection! I'm showing 2 coats below with 2 coats of Poshe top coat. Definitely let these dry before adding the second coat because they are so packed with glitter that you don't want to drag off the first layer before it has properly dried. All of these polishes seem to be "hungry for top coat" because one coat of top coat dries a bit textured so they need a second. I recommend two coats of top coat or even Gelous before your fast dry top coat. 

If you are unsure of what a Grayling is, here is an image I got from Sea Lore's Facebook Page:





That's my cute little Grayling freehand art. 

Look at those gorgeous flakes, holo mini glitters, and bigger iridescent squares! 

So what do you think of Glacial Grayling? I am shocked at how much I loved this when I wore it! I'm not typically a gray person but this is so complex that it's right up my alley! I can't wait to show you the other 4 Wintry Friends, so check back each day for the next one! Thanks for reading!
