Running In Circles during the Holidays

Today I am wearing a nice green shimmer color called " Running In Circles" by China Glaze which was applied in two coats. This color is from the 2012 Cirque Du Soleil Collection.

Ring in the Red Sonata Berry Glitter Gradient

I did this for the Holiday Season. I started out with a deep maroon color called "Sonata Berry" by Borghese using two coats. I could have used three coats but, didn't feel it was truly necessary because the only reason you can see slightly through the polish is because of the camera FLASH.

 I then applied a bright red glitter called "Ring in the Red" by China Glaze starting at the tips and slowly working my way towards the cuticle. I then topped it off with Seche Vite Fast Dry Top Coat as I do with 98% of my looks.

I think this is a gorgeous look for any Holiday Party or Event.

Snow Bunny sure knows how to Party Hearty!

Hey there, Today I decided to try out "Snow Bunny" by Revlon which is a white pearlescent color. I didn't like it by itself at all. I think mostly because I'm not used to seeing such light colors on  my nails. So, I decided to put some "Party Hearty" by China Glaze over top of it to give it some pizazz. I think it turned out quite well considering Christmas is near. I used Seche Vite base coat, 2 coats of "Snow Bunny", 2 coats of "Party Hearty" &, Seche Vite top coat.

Ruby Pumps by China Glaze

This polish is thus far the best Red Glitter polish I have tried out. It is called "Ruby Pumps" by China Glaze & only took 2 coats for full opacity! It may be a jelly glitter but, am still unsure at this point. This polish is absolutely gorgeous & perfect for this Holiday Season. I personally can't stop starring at my nails! I give it an A+.

"Ring in the Red" by China Glaze

This is a red jelly glitter polish from the "Santa's Little Helpers" collection by China Glaze & it's called " Ring in the Red".  I really like this polish but, I do tend to be a little harsh on my ratings... having said that, I feel this polish could use a nice red underneath. 

I applied Seche Vite base & top coat as usual. It took 3 coats to accomplish this opacity. It is still very pretty but, almost everything has room for improvement. :o)

"Twinkle Lights" over Holly-Day" by China Glaze

I decided to spice up my Holly-Day polish & show you what "Twinkle Lights" looks like over it. This polish is a glitter in gold, red &, green by China Glaze from the Santa's Little Helper's 2011 Collection. In my opinion it's not half bad but, I'm thinking it may look much better over another color. I would give this polish a 7.

"Glitter In My Stocking" Nicole by OPI

This polish is Nicole by OPI and the color is called "Glitter In My Stocking" which is part of the Holiday collection this year.  I am not too pleased with the color or application. It takes at least 3 coats to get to this opacity. It chipped in less than 24hrs with Seche Vite base & top coat. Although I will say it may do much better on top of another color. This is not a major fail for me but, still yet a fail.

I give this polish a 6 out of 10 mostly because of the chipping so fast.

China Glaze - Ruby Deer

This one is from the 2010 Christmas Holiday Collection. It is a brightened cherry red & compliments my skin tone quite nicely. These images are of 2 coats each although it did not need two. All two coats did was make it slightly darker. Application was done with ease.
