OPI ~ In My Santa Suit

OPI ~ In My Santa Suit

Red shimmer

I bought this polish in New York when I was on vacation last year, and it’s the second time I’ve worn it, even though this is the first time I’ve shown it on my blog. *gasp*

In My Santa Suit is from The Mariah Carey holiday collection from last year. It had just come out when I bought it in October.

Anyway, some of you might know that I’ve got a love/hate relationship with OPI. I am not a fan of their formulas and drying times, but really often love the colours and glitters they come out with, which is why I end up buying them anyway.

In My Santa Suit behaved like a dream. The formula was great, and it took two coats to make this baby shine. Drying time was also pretty good, which is sure not something I’m used to with this brand. And girl! This polish is gorgeous. GOR-geous, I tell you!!

Take a look. Two coats, no topcoat:

I love reds like this one, it’s just… mmmh!!

I decided to do a bit of layering. I dug out a polish I bought in Hungary, Lovely #7 from the Blink Blink series. It’s an iridescent glass fleck topper. I applied one coat over the red and then a layer of topcoat. And here’s my final mani:

I love the look of the glass flecks, it looks really cool!

The polishes:

I wanted my mani to be simple because I had an event at work the following day, and I didn’t want my nails to divert attention from the things I was going to say, haha!
