Christmas Present Nails
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 - Twinkle Lights
China Glaze Twinkle Lights is part of the 2011 Holiday collection and I have to say it's my favorite polish from the collection! The polish is a clear base packed with a metallic green, red, and gold glitter. This literally is the epitome of a Christmas nail polish! It has all the Christmas colors in one polish. I wish the camera could really capture the beauty of this polish because it has a foil finish to it! It sparkles so much too. I needed 4 coats of this polish. It does apply unevenly at times so you will need a few coats to get an even finish.
I added 3 pictures in different lights so you can truly see how beautiful this polish is :)

What you will need for your DIY Red Glitter Polish
1. Clear Coat nail polish (The one I used is Wet n Wild and retails for .99 cents)
2. Red Glitter (I bought this at Target and came in a pack of 4 for only $2.04. This particular glitter is square cut.)
STEPS
1. Apply your favorite base coat to protect your nails and let it dry.
2. Apply any clear coat polish you have on your nails. (DO NOT LET IT DRY, THIS WAY THE GLITTER WILL STICK!)
3. Shake glitter on your nails, to clear coat. Make sure your clear coat of polish hasn't dried on your nails.
4. Apply a top coat to glitter when finished.
5. You can repeat steps 2-3 depending on how much glitter you want on your nails.
