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:

The white is Essence’s “Don’t Be Too Shy To Shine”, 2 coats
The red holo is Ellagee’s “Hear Me Roar”, 2 coats
The stripes are from Lina’s stamping plate “Feeling Shapely! 01”
The other design is from the stamping plate “Manzilin 03”
The red and white stamping polishes are both from El Corazón

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

Isadora: Merry Red
Red with shimmer

“Merry Red” was in my Helmer, which indicates that I’ve used it before. I can’t see it on the blog though so I might have made a mistake and “filed it” before I actually used it.

I used two easy coats for full coverage and the drying time was good. I was in a bit of a hurry so I didn’t have time for fancy nail art. I kept it super simple and made two white dots on each nail.

This is the final result including a layer of topcoat.

Isn’t that just a pretty red?

Here’s “Merry Red” alone, two coats and no topcoat.

The polishes I used today:

Isadora: Merry Red and OPI: Angel With A Leadfoot

I haven’t bought Isadora polishes for a long time now. There are many reasons: The price is way too high, the polishes are small and the selection of colours aren’t super impressive. But I also heard that the company treats their employees really poorly. I don’t really want to support that.


Number of coats: 2
Drying time: Good
Finish: Shimmer
Overall impression: Good formula, really pretty colour and finish
Buy again: Yes
