Pink Christmas Nails! :D

I'm kind of posting this backward. I should be putting up the swatches and pictures of "Meep meep meep" from the OPI Muppets Collection, but I just love the sparkles with this combo.
These nails remind me of pink santa hats for some reason. The silver portion like the furry rim and the pink and the rest of the hat. Maybe it's just me :s

It's SUPPOSED to look be ombre but it didn't come out as great as I wanted it to but I still love how it sparkles in the light.

The pictures I took don't do it justice. It's wayyyyy more glittery/sparkly and a gorgeous pink colour, and I'm not someone who can keep pink on her nails for long (2 days tops) but this I have on for about 4 days so far.



Serious Flash....Showing you the pieces of glitter with less shine

With flash



The combo started with "Meep meep meep" because I was wearing it before I decided to do this (2 coats...and a 3rd because it chipped at the very ends after about 5 days).

Then I added a bit of "Excuse Moi" to the end of the nail then to cover 3/4 of my nail in two light coats (wiping the excess on the brush off before I put it on my nails).

Then to the very tip I put "Crown me already", trying to get the bigger chnks of glitter to the very tip of my nail and then lightly draging the fine glitter to about 1/3 of my nail.

Lastly I came back with "Excuse Moi" and painted a veryyy thin layer from near my cuticle area (the 1/4 left that only had "Meep meep meep") and with a light hand, put a veryyyy thin coat just overlapping where the end of "Crown me already" was (the fine glitter), leaving the large chunks of glitter at the very end untouched. The pink tint of "Excuse Moi" over "Crown me Already" gives a lighter pink to give the illusion that the colour is merging.

I put a clear, high shine top coat polish over it all after it dried completely to give it that extra shine and to lessen the rough texture of the glitter if I at some point pass it over my skin.

Hope you like it!!!

Diamonds on My Nails!!

I know I just put up a NOTD post but 5 minutes later I went to the pharmacy to pick up a polish I've been swooning over non-stop. Let me just say BEST.PURCHASE.EVER.
I remember doing a short post here on OPI's Miss Universe 2011 Collection...FINALLY I got my hands on "Crown Me Already" (it's hard to get polishes from new collections here).
I swiped it over my ring fingernail, right over Essie's "Carry On"....Not only does this polish look fabulous over it but I'm 100% certain it looks equally as fabulous on a bar nail with 2 coats!
The mix of chunky and fine glitter is PERFECT and because it's silver it gives the effect of a million little diamonds on your nail. Just beautiful!
