Considering I have tumbled head first into the land of
festive spirit, I’m amazed that it has taken me this long to pop a Christmas
themed manicure up! I thought I’d start out nice and easy, as we all know I am
not great at nail art or anything intricate like that. I used a few festive
polishes that have been sitting on my desk staring at me, and I apologise for the sorry state of the skin around my nails. I've been so busy at work and it has taken a toll on my hands more than ever before!
I hope you like the manicure!
For my thumb, I chose to use two coats of Mode Cosmetics
Vicious Venom. Not a very festive name, but wow is it a festive shade! As soon
as my Mum saw this manicure, she grabbed this off me to borrow it. Hopefully I
will be able to find it in the discount bins at the chemist and buy another
bottle for her! The pointer finger is also a Mode Cosmetics shade, this time in
Kiss and Tell. Again, really opaque which is the perfect type of glitter for me.
The middle finger is a base of Mode Cosmetics Cool As,
topped with Ulta3 Charmed, which is a tonne of fine green glitter in a clear
base. This pair went nicely together, more than I actually first thought they
would. The ring finger is a base of Sally Hansen’s Complete Salon Manicure in
Pink Slip* (see it in action here) topped with BYS Cold as Ice*, which is
my very favourite polish right now (You can buy it for $4.95 from Fashion Addict) I think my next mani will be a full hand of
this icy look, as I think it is cute, summery AND festive, all at the same
time! My pinky finger is kept plain with Essie’s Going Incognito, which is a
beautiful deep forest green crème shade.
Which nail is your favourite? Do you partake in a little
festive nail fun, or do you prefer to keep them classic?
