Another Christmas manicure

Building off of my last Christmas manicure, this one takes it to another level. I wasn't 100% pleased with how this turned out - the white and gold should have been separated I think, and the jewels on the center stripe instead of the outer one. But overall this went ok, considering it's my most complicated look yet! Scotch tape helped keep the lines clean, and a bit of top coat dotted on my nails kept the gems from sliding around.

Sadly, I made a mess out of this on my way out the door and had to take it off :( I didn't have time to redo it, so I had to scrap the whole thing.

I love, love, LOVE how this turned out! So simple, yet so striking! Again, I used scotch tape to create the tips over a simple sparkly base, then accented with a small nail gem.






Base colours: Bare to be Different and No-el if I Know from the Sephora by OPI Glimmering Wonderland set
Tip: Nicole by OPI Not a Gold Bigger and OPI Wocka Wocka, plus a random nail decoration.

Winter is coming! And a second attempt at a gradient manicure.

After my failure with black and copper, I thought I'd try again with a silver and blue look, topped with some glitter for a winter manicure. This came out a LOT nicer than my last attempt, but you can definitely see what I mean about the China Glaze Snow Globe & pitting.






Base colours: OPI Birthday Babe, Gosh Metallic Blue.
Glitter: Sephora by OPI No-el if I Know, China Glaze Snow Globe
