I love painting my nails for Christmas, i can't just have bare nails or a plain colour for Christmas Day, I'd feel naked and boring! It's the perfect time to get your glitter polishes out and make your nails all festive. This year I've used classic Christmas colours, red and gold. It's the first time I've tried to graduate my nails and i think I've done it pretty well.
I used Barry M's Bright Red and Models Own Hedkandi Disco Heaven.
I used two coats of Bright Red to make the colours opaque. Barry M lasts about a week on my nails. I then coated my nails 3/4 in the disco heaven. And when that had dried, i coated half, and then 1/4. This gives the graduated colour effect, and the finished nails look like this:
I know they look really messy but this was pre-clean up :) My camera didn't really pick up the glitter too well, the tips are alot more golden and opaque. I feel very festive when i look at my nails!
I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and a happy new year!
