Opi I Carol about you + Snow Globe Trotter

In a previous post I talked about how meh I felt about I carol About you. But, to be honest, he looks amazgin with Snow Globe Trotter as a topper.I had already tried this one over black, but I wanted something lighter underneath to see how it affected to color changes, so I tried this one and that is a lovely combination.

I did two coats of I carol About you and one of Snow Globetrotter (albeit some heavy ones, depending on the colors my fetching broiught haha). Check it out:

So... every one was talking wonders about this purple. And as I am a purple lover, got it. But found it to be meh for me. It is a somewhat frosty purple with a very faint shimmer, but nothing otherwordly for me. Plus, when I removed it it had subtly stained my nails with a pinkish color that has somewaht subsided after a shower. So, not very impressed with this one.
Opacity wise is pretty good, two coats and ready to go.
