Christmas nails, 22nd of December

I can’t believe that we’re reaching the end of this series of Christmas manicures: It’s the 22^nd already and Christmas is just around the corner.

Today’s nails are red and white, holo and shimmer.  

Take a look:

I didn’t take a photo of the base colours without the stamping on top so here’s the end result one last time.

Ellagee: Midnight At The Oasis
Oxblood with a splash of red shimmer

“Midnight At The Oasis” has been sitting in my box of untrieds for a very long time. I can’t remember why I bought it because this is seriously way too dark for me.

The formula is good though and so is the coverage. I used two easy coats for full opacity and the drying time was good.

I stamped on it to brighten it up a bit. The dotty design is from the stamping plate “Nicole Diary-L38”. I stamped with two stamping polishes from El Corazon; the red is called “Midnight Tango” and the white is just called “White”.

This is the end design including a layer of topcoat.

I really dig this stamping.

This is “Midnight At The Oasis”; two coats and no topcoat yet.

And here are the things I used.

“Midnight Tango” is way too dark for me and there’s way too little shimmer in it. It’s vampy though and I loved the end result.  


Number of coats: 2
Drying time: Good
Finish: Shimmer
Overall impression: Vampy polish with a nice formula. The shimmer is sparse.
Buy again: No
