Christmas Tree & Presents

Christmas Tree & Presents!

I began with Icicle from the China Glaze 2011 Holiday Collection. This is a silver foil polish and one of the nicest silvers I've seen. The shimmer in the formula makes this polish different and nicer than all other silvers. It leaves a beautiful shine and metallic finish.

Then I made a Christmas tree on my ring finger using Mistletoe Kisses (reviewed on a previous post). I decorated the tree using Salon Perfect Nail Art Liners. I bought these liners at Walmart for $2.97 and they work great and are also very easy to use.

To finish off the look I made bows on my middle finger and thumb. I loved Edith's previous post and I was dying to try it myself!

From left to right: Revlon Matte Suede in Emerald City; Rimmel London French White Tip Pro in French White Nail Tip Liner; Ruby Kisses Nail Polish in Ruby Slippers.

Revlon Matte Suede in Emerald City is the perfect green! It is an emerald green packed with green shimmer. And as the bottle says it has a Matte Suede finish which I love on it's own but if you are not to keen on the matte finish, just add a top coat for a shiny finish.

Rimmel London's French White Tip Pro (Review in a past blog post).

Ruby Kisses Nail Polish in Ruby Slippers is a red polish packed with red and silver micro glitter. Also perfect for Christmas :)

The design is not perfect but I think it is really pretty and represents Christmas really well. I only did the design on my thumb and ring finger but you can do it on all your nails and even add a glitter top coat if you want!

China Glaze - Mistletoe Kisses

Mistletoe Kisses

This polish is from China Glaze's 2010 Holiday Collection. I love this polish because you get an even finish with only two coats; I also love the fact that it is green with a bit of silver undertones, which makes it perfect for the holiday season.

Ruby Kisses - Neon Green

Neon Green

I found this nail polish at a beauty supply store and have not seen this brand anywhere else, so I am assuming it is only available at select beauty supply stores. It was very affordable with a retail price of $1.99.

The name of this polish may through some people off because it is not exactly a neon green, it is more of an earthy and leafy green, which is why I love it. I had been searching for a color like this for months and then finally came across this one. Unfortunately, the formula for this polish is not that great. I would recommend at least three coats to get an even finish. The color is really great though and I will continue to look for a color that is similar to this.

Sinful Colors - Last Chance

Sinful Colors Professional: Last Chance


Last Chance is such a perfect green varnish for Christmas. It truly reminds me of a Christmas tree! This varnish is also a creme finish, which I personally love. You can find Sinful Colors Professional polishes at Rite Aid, Target, and beauty supply stores. Now what I love about Sinful Colors is first, they only cost $1.99 and they create dupe collections for OPI!

China Glaze - Party Hearty

China Glaze - Party Hearty

This polish is from the 2010 holiday collection. It has the perfect combination of holiday colors.

As you can see this polish goes on clear (it has no tint to it). I had to do several coats to get this finish. I suggest using a light silver as a base color to get a nicer finish, it will blend in really well with the tiny silver glitters and enhance the red and green.

OPI - Fresh Frog of Bel Air

OPI - Fresh Frog of Bel Air from the Muppets collection

This nail polish is fabulous. It is my absolute favorite at the moment. I love the combination of the green micro glitters with the silver macro glitters. It gives a very festive and Christmas-y feel, making it a must have for the holidays.
