GoT: Winter is Coming...

Hey everyone!

It's Wednesday today, that makes it The Fandoms Strike Back day, and therefore, Game of Thrones nail day!
The new season started officially on Sunday (US) or Monday (UK), let me know what you thought of the first episode? I personally found it amazing!

This post, as you probably saw by the title, has some (cue Jon Snow voice...) "Winter is Coming..." nails. I wasn't entirely sure what I was going to do for these, but when I sat down the other night I reached for some dark blues and frosty coloured polishes and then realised that they kinda fit.
And so, the frosted nails were born, since yknow, frost comes with winter... and... yeah... :)




As you may or may not be able to tell, I used quite a few different polishes in this mani. The most important of these are the base colour- OPI's "Russian Navy" and the flakey glitter- Models Own's "Snowflakes".



Getting the 'frosted' look was pretty simple- all I did was paint two coats of Russian Navy as a base, before sponging metallic paler blues over the top. I then sponged a teeny bit of a holographic glitter on the tips, which you can see in some lights, before painting the flakey over the top. 



Oh! My nails were also long enough to reshape so I grabbed the opportunity to do that too- welcome back stiletto nails!
What do you think of my take on "Winter is Coming"? What would you have done, or what have you already done for this theme? And of course, what did you think of the first episode? Drop me a comment below!


See you all on Friday, have a wonderful end of the week!
