Christmas Wrapping?

Hey Ladies,

As promised yesterday, here is Sephora By OPI's Untarnished Image with some shimmery fauxnad.

I had been wanting to do a mani like this all winter but wasn't sure what base to use. I had considered a straight up white, or China Glaze's Frosty; but honestly, that polish is perfectly beautiful on its own! ...anyways, the silver glitter reminded me of snow so this was perfect!

I used Bundle Monser plate BM14, and Claire's polish in Twinkle Twinkle, which is an awesome blue jelly packed with blue glitter. I was really impressed with the pigmentation of Twinkle Twinkle, it stamped very well! I completed the look with a thin coat of Seche Vite and some white rhinestones I picked up at the dollar store. I wish you could see the depth the Seche Vite added to the polish, its super glossy!

After about 5 mins I had rhinestones popping off lol. Since I knew I wasn't going to wear this mani for long, I didn't use nail glue to adhere them to my nails like I usually would. So I picked off the rest and decided to go with some hex glitter I had gotten from my Viva la Nails blogger package a while back instead.

Either way, rhinestones or glitter, I really like this mani. It reminds me of foil Christmas wrapping... which is kind of a step back in time lol but thats alright, snowflakes = winter, not necessarily Christmas. Although after Christmas I wish it would just stop snowing all together lol

So, as we approach New Years Eve tomorrow, any resolutions you plan on making for the new year? I hope to have up photos tomorrow of my New Years mani in which the polish is pretty well named for the occasion ;)


*this product (glitter) was sent to me for review.

    That looks great!! I don't *do* resolutions because to me, that's setting me up for failure. However, I do have a *plan* to start eating better and to exercise more regularly.

    Katrina -thanks, i'm glad you like it :)

    shortandwidenails - I wasn't as crazy as I am right now last year, but I'm glad I got a hold of it. I'm sure you will be able to find something similar.

    Kee.Kalena - I like how it came out, but the BM plate snowflake was kind of meh, the Konad ones I have seen look nicer. My mom thought I had marijuana leaves stamped on my nails! I think she may have said that to bug me though, she thinks i have way too much polish lol
