The Rest of the Year
Challenge 7: Christmas
Christmas is green and red in my world. Green
for the tree and red for the pretty ornaments on it. Obviously my Christmas
mani had to be red and green as well.
I started out with L. A. Splash’ “Money
Honey”, which isn’t as Christmassy green as other green polishes. But I wanted
a green without golden undertones, and this green hasn’t got any gold in it at
all.
The formula is quite thick on these L. A.
Splash polishes, and the brush is a bit wide. It’s not a problem though,
because I like both :) It took two easy
coats to build up to desired opacity. And I added a layer of Seche Vite top
coat before moving on to the next step. Here’s how it looks so far:
And from a different angle:
This polish is really blingy! It just needs a
bit of red glitter to bling it up even more. I chose L. A. Girl’s “Animate”,
which is a clear base packed with various sizes of red glitter.
I made stripes on two of the nails, and dots
on three. And when I was done I gave it another layer of Seche Vite top coat,
and my mani was done!
Here’s a pic from another angle:
This is pretty much as glittery as it can be!
If you like the green glitter, I can tell you
that it’s a total b*tch to get off again! :D
Check out these other Danish girls’ blogs to
see what they came up with for a Christmas mani.
Merry
Christmas, everybody! ♥

ReplyDeleteMoney Honey is beautiful! And I love your designs!! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, that really made me smile!
DeleteSo christmassy and bling :)
ReplyDeleteJust bad that the green is a devil to remove.
Some glitters are like that though, but fortunately not all of them. I usually don't mind, because I think it's worth the extra effort :)
DeleteLooks very festive! Love it :)
