China Glaze - Haunting & DUPE!

From left to right: Petites in Midnight Frost; China Glaze in Haunting

China Glaze Haunting is a pretty black polish packed with silver glitter. The formula is great! All you need is two coats. Haunting is from the China Glaze Haunting Halloween Collection 2011. China Glaze Haunting retails for about $6 online.

The dupe I found for China Glaze Haunting is Petites Midnight Frost. It is also a black polish with silver glitter. The only difference is that CG Haunting has a lot more glitter and you can see that from the bottle. But the color is pretty much the same. I used 3 coats because the formula is a tad bit more watery than CG. Petites polishes retail for about $2, so it's a bargain!

Funky Fingers Stage Diva is a clear polish with huge pieces of silver glitter as well as fine silver glitter!

Revlon Matte Suede in Fire Fox is a a matte red with red shimmer. It is opaque with two coats and because it is a matte polish it dries fast!

Revlon Matte Suede in Emerald City- reviewed in a previous blog post!

What I did was paint every other nail red and the other green. Then I added Funky Fingers Stage Diva to add sparkle and a festive look to my nails.

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!

COUNTDOWN TO CHRISTMAS: 1 DAY!
HAPPY CHRISTMAS EVE! :D

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!

COUNTDOWN TO CHRISTMAS: 2 DAYS =D

China Glaze - Snow Globe

Snow Globe

This polish is from the China Glaze 2011 Holiday Collection. It has a sheer color base, so I used one coat of Snow me White by Sinful Colors as my base (scroll for review). Snow Globe has multi-colored glitter in gold, aqua, green, blue, and purple and let just say that I absolutely love this polish. It actually looks like the snow and glitter in a snow globe! Two coats and you get a beautiful winter wonderland on your nails.

COUNTDOWN TO CHRISTMAS: 3 DAYS!

Snowflake Nails

I used Wet n Wild Saved by the Blue as my base color. Saved by the Blue is a true blue with a slight metallic finish. This polish is opaque with only 1 coat but I always like to add 2 coats anyways! This polish also has a slight shimmer to it in the sunlight! (Retail price is $1.99)

Rimmel London's French White Tip Pro is what I used to make the actual snowflake! I love this polish because of the thin brush it has. Also it is a creme white polish.

Wet n Wild Kaleidoscope is a clear polish packed with silver and what seems to be holographic glitter! I added this polish as a top coat to give the illusion of actual snow and I think it is the perfect polish! Also it is only .99 cents =D

Countdown to Christmas: 4 DAYS! :)

OPI Bring on the Bling

OPI Bring on the Bling

Bring on the Bling is part of OPI's Burlesque Collection (Holiday 2010) and is literally like bling on your nails. It is a yellow gold with multi glitter. You will need between 2-3 coats for an opaque finish. This polish is that of "gritty" glitter so in order to get a smooth finish you will need a top coat. Another downside to this polish is that it tends to chip rather easily and it does not apply evenly so you might end up with "bald spots" on your nails. I do love this polish though. Mainly because of the gold color and how it sometimes gives a rose gold color in certain lights which is really pretty. It might have to do with the micro glitter, that gives this polish a true BLING factor!

(You can see in these pictures how my nails have a rose gold tint to them at times.)

Countdown to Christmas: 5 Days =D
