Christmas Eve Mani with OPI Magazine Cover Mouse, Zoya Chita, Orly Au Champagne & Nubar Glittified

Good morning and Merry Christmas Eve to those of you who celebrate.  Happy Tuesday to those who don't.  It's a beautiful day here and I hope you are feeling chipper!  This will be a quickie because I need to get a job in before I head over to my grandparents house to exchange gifts.  I threw this together and was so pleased with how it turned out!  Texture polish always adds a special something to a skittlette.  I hope you like my Christmas Eve mani.

I started this with OPI Magazine Cover Mouse - a red liquid sand polish with gold and hot pink sparkles.  I love this color and coincidentally, this red/pink color is very hot for the winter season.  I used 2 coats and Magazine Cover Mouse had amazing formula and application.  I used Orly Au Champagne on my ring and pinky finger nails as a base for other colors.  I adore Au Champagne.  It's my hands down favorite white polish.  It has a slight matte finish and it's so soft and lovely.  I used 2 coats.  I then used Zoya Chita, a hunter green pixie dust to freehand draw a Christmas tree with a thin art brush.  I topped it with a gold holo star I fished out of a random glitter polish.  I also used Chita on my thumb.  2 coats provided perfect coverage.  The color is really beautiful and unique for a texture polish.  I topped Au Champagne with Nubar Glittified on my pinky.  Glittified is a sparkly micro glitter polish that's full of season cheer!  Red, green and silver glitter in a clear base are perfect to add a holiday touch to any mani!  I used 2 coats of Glittified.  I didn't use topcoat on this mani.

Candy Cane Mani Featuring Lumina Lacquer Candy Cane Lane & Coal In My Stocking

Good morning!  I couldn't wait to jump into holiday manis and I am so pleased with how this one turned out!   I don't want to waste any time with jibber jabber so let's just jump right in.  This is my candy cane mani and I used Lumina Lacquer, Orly and Smitten Polish to create this.  Here are the social media and shipping links to the brands.

I started this super holiday mani with Lumina Lacquer Coal In My Stocking.  Even though this polish is meant for those who "weren't very nice this year" I was nice but I'm still going to rock Coal In My Stocking because it's fabulous!  This is an "opaque charcoal grey polish with a dash of micro holo glitters, some holo hexs, dark flakes and a soft holo pigment."  It's so beautiful.  My favorite part is the soft red-gold shimmer and the holo glitters.  I used 2 thin coats (but you could easily get away with 1) for full coverage.   Then I covered Coal In My Stocking with Lumina Lacquer Candy Cane Lane.  Candy Cane Lane is a "glitterbomb of red and white with circles, hexs, stars, hearts and candy canes."  It so fun!  I got all of those shapes out with no digging.  I used 2 coats.  The glitter applied easily and spread  well on my nails.  On my accent nail I used 2 coats of Orly Au Champagne, a gorgeous frosty white with a soft matte finish.  I then used a striping brush to create candy cane stripes with Smitten Polish Zelda's Fall-ly, a beautiful red holo (I posted a review for it HERE).  I used 2 layers of topcoat on all nails to finish.
