Classy Christmas Nails

I spotted this OPI Polish recently and realised I'd never worn it. It's perfect for Christmas-a deep dark red with tiny specks of glitter. It's sophisticated but still festive. Ticks all the boxes.

The Season For Sparkle




When the decorations are unpacked and on the tree, the lights strung up and the tinsel on every surface, you know it’s time for some sparkle on your fingers.
A glitter polish is a really quick, easy way to get the festive spirit on your nails. These are my favourites this Christmas.



Barry M has a very good range of glitter nail polish which are easy to apply and last for around 5 days. Their only disadvantage is that they take a lot of effort and polish remover to get off (like most glitter polishes) but I reckon it’s worth it. Both of these work well layered up on their own, or as a top coat. The green is a recent buy in time for Christmas-it reminds me of a Christmas tree and has little silver stars in it-how could I resist?
The Barry M polish with the lovely glittery lid has recently vanished from my room (really need to have a tidy) but it too works very well on a bare nail as the glitter is pretty concentrated. 




I like to wear this OPI silver layered on top of a dark red or purple, or to add an accent nail.



Similarly, this Ciate silver is great for layering. The glitter in this one is more concentrated than the OPI so it could be worn on its own.


Hope you all have a wonderful Christmas
