The One With the Red and Green Christmas Light Manicure
9:00:00 AMGood morning Polished World!!! Happy two days before Christmas! Can you actually believe that Christmas is right around the corner? I feel like December flew right on by. I blame COVID and the fact it just turns my world upside down on a daily basis. Despite the crazy, I'm super proud of myself for completing six Christmas designs. Looking back at the year I've had and the hiatus' I've had to take because of my job, this is a huge accomplishment. When I started up the blog again and my nail art, I told myself that I wasn't going to go on another break for the foreseeable future. This has been a huge stress relief for me, and we all need that escape from the real world one way or another.
Today's I'm sharing with you my annual Christmas light manicure! This is a design I've been doing since I started blogging years ago. Each year I switch up the design by changing the base polish. The most common base is typically a snowy gradient, but I really wasn't feeling that this year. Then I remembered Christmas Cookie by ILNP. It just begged to have some Christmas lights painted on top of it.
Let's take a look!
Colors Used:
Super adorable, right? I opted for the red and green lights because of the tiny red and green microglitters in this polish. Christmas Cookie is a white jelly polish with the different color microglitters. Two coats and I had complete coverage. It removes off the nail just as easily as it applies. I was worried because of the density of the glitter, but you'd have no idea that the glitter was even there.- ILNP - Christmas Cookie
- Acrylics
I love, love, LOVE how the red and green lights really make those red and green glitters pop. I wore this polish alone as a swatch a few times this season and while you could see the glitter on it's own, with the colors on top it just added a whole new dimension.
What do you think? Fan of this manicure?
Just one more design to share with you all. Can you guess what it is??
Until next time, <3.
