Holiday Nails of the day!

I wanted a holiday-ish manicure, so I pulled out China Glaze Poinsettia. Going through my Konad disks I actually found a design that reminded me of poinsettias. So here you go.

Two coats China Glaze Poinsettia, Stamped with Konad Gold, plate M74, and one coat of Seche Vite.

 ^^Just finished, messy, and I definitely couldn't see the nail lines, they look so dirty and they totally weren't >.<

  2 days later it started chipping so I put a coat of Essie Matte About You, and I like it WAY more. I'm totally into matte finish, and the Konad Special Gold looks really good. Red and Gold is my favorite colour combo ever. I know the pics are horrible sorry =\

Nails of the day

So here's my nails for the day.
This was an attempt at holiday nails. I really like how it turned out. I used OPI Base Coat, and 2 coats of China Glaze Holly-day for the base colour. I stamped the dot pattern from Konad Plate M60 with Konad special gold stamp polish.


I hardly got any nail polish on my fingers :D this is always a great feat for me!
Instead of going for the usual glossy top coat, I thought this would be a great chance to try out my new Matte About You from Essie. It gave it a great non-shiny satiny type finish (don't you love my descriptions :p ) that reminds me of Christmas tree ornaments.
Next time though I think I would stamp the gold after the matte coat, cause it dulled the gold quite a bit, but I still love how it turned out. Hope you like it!!
