2 coats with 1 coat SOPI Traffic Stopper Copper

Givenchy Grenat Initie is an orange red creme. I want to call it burnt orange, but there's just a little too much red for it to qualify, in my opinion. This is a perfect fall color, but I'm not even sure if it's season appropriate anymore, since we just got our first snowfall yesterday. :( Anyway, it's a gorgeous color and an unexpected love for me.



The formula is absolutely perfect. I was swatching a bunch of other polishes prior to putting this one on, and it just made me appreciate the formula that much more.



Givenchy Grenat Initie retails for $20 and is available at Sephora

Here it is - the portion of my stash I was dreading to photograph. I honestly don't have as much as I thought I did, which is wonderful.

A lot of these were dustied, hence the grody caps.

Purging these will be so much fun. :)

I'm going to a holiday party tonight, so I figured now would be the perfect time to break out my holiday glitters. This is 2 coats of Essie Marshmallow, 2 coats of China Glaze Party Hearty, and 2 coats of $OPI Flurry Up. I did my base coat (Barielle hydrating Ridge Filler + Gelous) and coats of Marshmallow yesterday so that I wouldn't have to wait forever for all the coats to dry.

The application of both was typical for a chunky glitter. A bit of time is needed between coats. I do appreciate having both because Today Was A Fairytale is more dense and will only need one coat while Flurry Up will need two when it comes to layering. I'll post some pictures of these layered over black and white later, but the difference is subtle.
