China Glaze ~ Twinkle Lights

A clear base packed with red, green and gold glitters

I was going to a Christmas party and wanted nails with a lot of bling-effect. Twinkle Lights from China Glaze’s “Let it snow” collection from 2011 is such a polish.

I started with one coat of Bourjois’ ‘Rouge Escarpin’. It’s a polish I’ve had for quite a while without trying it on. It’s a gorgeous red crème, and one coat actually did the job very nicely : 
 

After that I applied two coats of Twinkle Lights. I think the red base might be a mistake, since it was impossible to get as close to the edges with the glitter as the red, but hey, I wanted to be sure that I wouldn’t have to start all over again if the China Glaze turned out to be too sheer.

Here it is, in all its golden glory:

Lots and lots of glitter. Shiny, sparkly, attention seeking. I love it, even though I’m usually more of a silvery kind of person.
