I've said it before but OPI The Spy Who Loved Me is perfect for Christmas manis. However, if you don't have this you can use a really any shimmery red or even just a plain creme red. I believe my go-to polish last year was Orly Star Spangled. It's a little bit of a darker red from what I remember, but is just as, if not more, shimmery!
So, super simple! Two coats of OPI The Spy Who Loved Me and three coats of my own polish, Spellbound Nails Happy Christmas To All as an accent nail.
This mani looks so much better in person because you can really see the sparkle and shift of the glitter and this does seem to trick the eye into thinking Happy Christmas To All really does look like a Christmas tree especially with that star at the top of my nail. I admit I started this mani with a different design in mind; a bit of a tape mani to create a tree shape on the accent nail with a carefully placed star glitter, but once the star came out of the bottle (without my permissions lol) and refused to budge it all came together so much better in my opinion!
I plan to have at least another one or two designs before Christmas so keep an eye out for those.
Until next time,

This is such a pretty combination!
ReplyDeleteI hate it when you mani looks better in person, I feel like glitters are especially difficult to capture on camera. Having said that though, I think it looks great in your pictures! Loving that glittery accent nail. Glad you were able to link up in the Holiday link party! Hope to have you and your nail art in the weekly link parties in the future!
