My first Christmas Mani!

Good morning! Today I have my first Christmas manicure! I have to say that I am left handed, therefore I was only able to do pretty nail art on my right hand. I avoided my left hand all together and painted it the pretty sparkley red color. For the red, I used 2 coats of Sally Hansen Insta-Dri polish in Whirlwind White. This polish was amazingly easy to apply and was fully opaque in 2 even coats. It dried very quickly (just as the name says it does) and I got this polish for for $1.37 from CVS on clearance...I'm in love! Then I used 1 thin coat of Nicole by OPI in Orna-Ment for Eachother. When that was dry I applied two more thin coats of Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in Red Carpet. Red Carpet was easy to apply, particularly for a glitter. I had no issues. For the Christmas tree, I used my Orly nail dotter with Revlon Emerald City and Ulta salon formula polish in Brownette for the ornament at the top. I used Sally Hansen  Red Carpet for my candy cane and dotted it on carefully with my Orly dotter tool...I love that thing!

Nicole By OPI Orna-ment for Eachother

Good afternoon! today i slept in and then went out for breakfast and kind of lazily wandered around enjoying the gorgeous weather. then went home and changed for the beach. my boyfriend and i went for a long walk and drank up the sunshine! anyways, i did a Christmas manicure! my first one this year! Nicole By OPI in Orna-Ment for each other...a dark primary red glitter with sparse gold glitter. i have to say that the formula was a little less than perfect. it took 3 coats to get opaque and was very difficult to spread evenly.
