Are you ready to see the new winter colors that Gelish recently released?! This is The Big Chill collection, which is comprised of six cool, shimmery colors. I think you’ll be pleased with this collection because all of the shades are pretty unique and the formula is fantastic. Most colors are opaque with just two coats, and they applied perfectly.
The Big Chill is a LIMITED EDITION collection and will only be available for a limited time.
The Gelish MINI Haute Holiday Collection can be purchased at Sally Beauty Supply online at www.sallybeauty.com, or in retail stores. This collection will be available on shelves from October through December. You can also purchase directly from the Gelish MINI website at www.getgelished.com!
You’ll notice in this post that my nails are much shorter than normal. The cold winter temperatures have done a number on my nails. A couple of them snapped right off, so I’ve been nursing my shorter nails and using lots of cuticle oil to get them back to normal. You’ll see more nail posts from me in the coming weeks!

Now let’s get to the colors!
The Big Chill is a pale, light grey with a pearly shimmer finish. The comparison picture below shows that this is the lightest grey in the Gelish line. It’s very close to Cashmere Kind of Gal, but slightly lighter and it of course has the pearl finish which makes it different. I really quite like it.

Snowflakes & Skyscrapers is a darker grey with a multi-colored shimmer finish. The description on the press release calls this color “taupe pearl”. I see the taupe shades in the shimmer, but the base color seems very grey to me. I can see gold and purple flecks in the shimmer. This is a pretty unique shade, which you can see in the comparison picture above.

Call Me Jill Frost is a really lush, dark purple pearl. When I first saw the color pops I thought this shade would be just like all of the other purples that I have, but it’s totally not. It has some blue tones to it, while Berry Buttoned Up has some reddish tones to it. I’m crazy about shimmery purples, so this has won me over!

I’m Snow Angel is a deep brown-ish red with a golden shimmer. Again, it’s a really unique shade. I thought this one would be close to Elegant Wish, but you can see in the comparison photo that it has much better coverage and it’s darker and has more brown tones.

Ice Skate, You Skate, We All Skate is a shimmery dark emerald shade. It’s a very teal-leaning green. It’s similar to Race You to the Bottom, but it’s a little darker and the shimmer is more subtle.

My Jewels Keep Me Warm is a coppery pink glitter polish in a pink-tinted sheer base. This is a really unique polish. I don’t have anything like it so I compared it with a couple of other Gelish glitters that have the same type of glitter, but they are obviously different colors. As far as the color goes, it seems to have some orange tints and the shade really reminded me of Cuccio Higher Grounds. This shade required three coats for opacity, and I had a hard time getting glitter coverage on the tips of my nails which is pretty common.
I actually wore this for Thanksgiving this year and got tons of compliments on it. I didn’t think I was going to like this, but it was really stunning on my nails. Love it!
