1. Australis Glitter Top Coat in Eureka
I find it quite hard to wear a straight up metallic gold
against my pale skin, so a nice top coat like this is the perfect way to inject
a bit of my favourite festive metal into my nail look. I have gold tinsel on my
tree each year and a stack of golden ornaments about the house, so I like that
this ties into my overall Christmas theme!
2. Australis Metallic Edition in Red Hot Chilli Pepper*
from the AC loves Me Collection
First of all, awesome shade name from the stars that keep
the Priceline shelves full of on-trend and affordable beauty products! This
rich dark metallic red is that classic Christmas colour that my polish collection
was surprisingly lacking, and one that I think will be very popular for the
Aussie brand.
3. Essie Hors d’Oeuvres from the Encrusted Collection*
Yet another mention for my current polish shade, the
stunning chunky glitter that is my favourite Essie glitter to date. The fact
that this shade manages to lean cool and warm at the same time is brilliant,
but my frustration at not being able to accurately capture the shade on camera
is driving me crazy! Trust me though; it is stunning on the nail and something
that I think I will get a lot of wear from.
4. OPI Christmas Gone Plaid
Gwen Stefani has teamed up with OPI once again around the
holiday season and as soon as I saw this dark forest green in a magazine, I
knew I had to have it. I’m not one to buy polish all the time but after a few
free drinks in Vegas, Mister and I visited the apothecary there and I took this
baby straight to the counter. Stunning, I’m in love.
5. Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure in Snow Globe*
A gorgeous nail topper filled with various holographic flaky
hexes and glitters – if there ever was a time to wear a sparkly stunner like
this, Christmas certainly fits the bill! I believe this one was a limited
edition around the spring carnival season here in Australia, but I saw it on
the shelves during the week so if you’re interested in rocking this on Christmas
Day you should be able to get your hands on a bottle.
