Christmas Nails

This year I decided to glam up my black outfit with some Christmas inspired nails!
I borrowed the two nail polishes below from my Mum. I painted one finger on each hand with the gold, and the rest of my nails with the beautiful wine coloured varnish.

Isadora Gold Sparkles

Essie Skirting the Issue

Nail Hue's

1. Essie - A List is a beautiful apple-ish red hue. It's glossy, juicy and is a more upbeat version of Essie's Bordeaux 
2. Mavala - New Dehli is a loganberry red which has a little brown in it. It's a very dark and musky colour - perfect for fall in my opinion. I've been using this frequently.
3. Essie - Grow Stronger I use initially as a base coat for my nail polish, merely because I haven't had the energy to go and get a proper base coat. The Grow Stronger varnish has been in my collection for quite some time now and I'm very pleased with it. I sometimes wear it by itself, without a coloured varnish on top - it gives your nail a very subtle pink tint. Perfect for those who don't like coloured nails. To be honest, I've been using it for so long that I don't really know if it does make your nails stronger, but I should think so!
