NailPolishCanada.com's Week 3 - Holiday Decorations

      Today, I have a manicure that I entered in week 3 of NailpolishCanada.com's Holiday Nail art challenge. I missed week one because my my carpel tunnel was acting up and I could barely open a bottle of nail polish much less do any nail art. Anyway this weeks theme is Holiday Decorations. And when I think of holiday decorations I think of Christmas Trees and all the regalia that goes with them. So, here is my Christmas Tree manicure. Oh, and you can go vote for me here. You can vote for me until December 12. So please do so. Without any further ado here's my Gift mani.

     All pictures are with three coats of WYWF and two coats of top coat. This polish is another top coat eater but well worth the effort. This polish is sparkly blue perfection. it applies easily and dries quickly. And did I mention that it's blue...and sparkly. Your inner Valkyrie will love it. Mine sure does. My favorite color mixed with glitter? Come on that's a match made in heaven. I an just going to say one more thing about this polish. Go, buy it now, it's amazing. I hope you guys like it as much as I do. Until next time, stay classy and stay polished.

China Glaze Champagne Kisses Swatch And Review

     Today, I have Champagne Kisses from China Glaze's Holiday Joy collection to show you guys. Champagne Kisses is a light peachy, copper holographic micro glitter in a clear base. Let me just start by saying that I originally did not want this polish. "I thought ugh! A copper polish?" But then I got it with a gift card and tried it, first on my toes then on my fingers and fell madly in love with it. On the nail it's a gorgeous warm peach glitter and even though I am pale as a ghost it looks good on even my pale self. Anyway here's what you are waiting for...the pictures.

The bottle:

Close up:

     All pictures are with 3 coats of Champagne Kisses and two layers of top coat. This glitter polish like the others in the Holiday Joy line are top coat eaters so be prepared to go heavy on the top coat. That said it dries fast and has the warmest shimmery glitter to it that I fell madly, deeply in love with. I am so glad I added this polish to my collection. It's beautiful and glittery and for some reason unbeknownst to me reminds me of sugar cookies...maybe it's just because it's that time of year again and I am fiending for some home made sugar cookies. At any rate I hope you guys enjoy this polish as much as I do. Until next time stay classy and stay polished.
XOXO
