One good Blush absolutely deserved another, so when I was done with green and the weather turned cold again, I remembered yet another wintry-themed polish name that kept this theme rolling.

Snow Squall is a Color4Nails store exclusive from Blush Lacquer. It starts with a crelly-ish concrete grey base, then has a light scattering of iridescent ocean-type flakies, and a boatload of gold-to-green metallic shimmer.

In any kind of angled light, the shift in the shimmer got super prominent, pulling the whole look toward mossy green a lot of the time. There's a subtle holo sparkle scattered in here, too. Snow Squall is "neutral with a twist" where the twist is dialed up to 11.

If there's anything to complain about, its that with all the shimmer and the opacity of the base color, the flakies that are evident in the bottle are very subtle on the nail. If I think of this as a contrast shimmer + lightly scattered holo I'm happy, but if you're expecting a flakie you might be disappointed.

Rating: another super solid 4 out of 5 stars for Blush - nice formula, good wear time, opaque in 2. What's not to love?
Where to buy:
Color 4 Nails tends to get in just a single batch of any store exclusives, and this appears to be no exception. Once again, keep your eyes peeled for destashes for this one.
