Hello loves & happy Friday!
It’s officially (pretty much) the weekend which means I’m in full holiday haze. It also means, I have been thinking about holiday manicures a lot. Even though I no longer attend many holiday parties — I’m more of a homebody these days — that doesn’t mean I don’t mind if my nails have somewhere special to go.
Today’s look is totally something I would wear to a fun holiday party, paired with the perfect little black dress.
The polishes I used for this manicure are:
- Base Coat: Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Colour Grip Primer Base Coat
- Top Coat: Seche Vive
- Santee Magnetic 04 Metallic Tropical Rose
- Starrily Magnetic Wand
- Santee Magnetic 21 Sand Burst
- Smallest sized dotting tool (NailStuff.ca Dotting Tool Trio)
First off, I apologize for how difficult these were to photograph. Apparently using flash on these particular magnetic base gave it almost this blurry effect in some pictures.
I’ve had these magnetics in my stash for… a while haha. Apparently I picked them up for 99 cents at my local Lawton’s on clearance… & just never tried them out! I used my Starrily Magnetic Want, & it gave this red base the coolest crushed velvet effect. It’s absolutely gorgeous! I wish I had pulled them out sooner.
What do you think about these holiday nails — are they giving you Christmas vibes? We have our first Tax Free Event this weekend at work, & it’s going to be crazy, so I need all the festive spirit I can get! I would much rather be drinking egg nog & nibbling on Christmas cookies with my pretty nails.
Enjoy your weekend loves, however whatever you’ve got planned. 🖤
