But anyway, here is the manicure I did for Christmas. I used Lumina Lacquers and Elevation Polish.
The base colors I used were: Wrapped in Red (and it's hard to find a red that is flattering to my skin tone but this one is!), Elevation Jengish Chokusu (light green) and Alpine Heights (Carlit) (darker teal).
On my pointer and pinky, I used Lumina Lacquers Hooked on Christmas. On my middle and ring fingers, I did striping with Pitaraq (a silver glitter) and you can see the alternating green colors I also used Yeti Loves the Holidays and Hooked on Chrismas on my ring finger. Unfortunately the candy cane lifted a little bit on my pinky even though I used Glitter Food to try to hold it down. If anyone has any tips on how to get these to stay down longer, let me know. I was so glad that Tatiana sent the extra candy canes, and I thought it was cool that she made a polish with both red and green candy canes!
(Side note about me- for some reason I don't like peppermint that much- so I always eat different flavored candy canes. This year the new ones I tried were the warheads super sour ones and they were rainbow colored!)
I also wanted to add a link to show fellow bloggers' holiday nail art! It is really awesome to see how creative everybody has been.
Oh no! Sorry to hear your were sick for the holidays :( Those meds are so rough on me, I feel for you. I hope you got to sit in bed and relax and do more pretty manis like this one!
ReplyDeleteFeel better soon!
Love the stripes! I never have any luck with larger glitters or 3D nail art looks staying in place.
