My Two Cents: Beyond Cozy is beyond ah-mazing! Not only is it beautiful, goes on like a dream, but it has been exceptional in the wear department. For a silver polish, it definitely has a that little something different thanks to the hint of warm champagne in it. but it has this It’s a great holiday color, but in all honesty I will have no problem wearing it year round when the mood strikes me. I also think it would make a good base for some jelly sandwich experimentation or as an accent color. If you’ve not already picked this up, then I highly recommend doing so if you can track a bottle down as it will not disappoint.
Tips: Start with a base coat, and be generous with the top coat, especially if you don’t like the rough feel that top coat thirsty glitters can have.
Something Similar: In all honesty, there are a whole whack of silver micro-glitters on the market, but I just don’t feel that any others have the same warm tone to them that Beyond Cozy does. However, if you beg to differ please feel free to let me know by commenting down below.
As always, thanks for reading and check back soon.
I really like this Essie color because I feel like it’s kind of a mix between silver and gold. Great for New Years too! =)
I definitely agree! I also think it’s really wearable, not to mention a bit more subtle, especially for a glitter polish.
It kind of reminds me of the Color Club color I have. I did a post on it a few weeks ago.
I will definitely check it out.
Oh that is cute, love it on your nails, looks awesome. You are quite right about the warmth, I don’t know another glitter that has it.
