Blue Christmas Mani

Good afternoon!  We are getting down to the wire here to share Christmas/Holiday themed manis so I figured I may as well just get them all posted!  I did a Blue Christmas mani and I was extremely happy with how it turned out.  Let's go ahead and look at the pictures!

I started with Lumina Lacquer Homesick at Space Camp on my thumb, middle and accent nails.  I used 2 coats but easily could have used 1.  I wanted the richest blue hue I could get and this was the perfect choice!  Plus it's holo!   I topped my middle nail with 2 coats of Lynnderella Ice the Snowcake, a lovely white glitter topper that also has a nice serving of holo and iridescent shimmers.  

On my index and pinky nails I used The Nail Junkie Snowflake.  This shimmery white polish is absolutely perfection!  It's soft and delicate and really looks like snow glinting in the light.  I used 3 coats and as you can see there is still a very slight visible nail line, but it really looks clean and classy so it didn't bother me one tiny bit.  It gives a "my nails but better" look.  I then got adventurous and hand drew snowflakes over Snowflake using Homesick at Space Camp.  I finished everything up with a thick layer of topcoat. LOVE!  

Simply Holiday Mani featuring Lumina Lacquer Wrapped in Red and Lynnderella Ice the Snowcake, Emerald Hope & Ruby Red Ruby

Good morning beauties!  I have a couple lovely holiday manis to share and I'll start with this one because it's one of the best reds I've ever put on my fingers.  I am so much in love with it it's unbelievable.  Lumina Lacquer is well know for glitter bombs but I have to say her solid colors this season were pretty darn amazing.  I accented this mani with a trio of Lynnderella Christmas colors just to jazz it up a bit.  So let 's just jump in and start looking at pictures!

Lumina Lacquer has jumped up the ranks as one of my favorite polish brands this year.  I've always loved Tatiana's glitter combinations but this season she released a couple solid colors that truly stole my heart.  Wrapped In Red is a gorgeous cherry red creme base with flashes of fuchsia shimmers and scattered red holo sparkles.  The formula was wonderfully creamy and so opaque.  It's easily a 1-coater, but because of habit I used 2 thin coats.  Application was truly wonderful.  I then accented a nail with a few Lynnderellas to create a Christmassy Lynnderlayering.  I used 1 layer of Ruby Red Ruby as the base.  RRR is a beautiful blend of red glitters in a slightly red tinted base.  I topped RRR with 1 coat of Emerald Hope, a pretty mix of green and turquoise glitters in a clear base.  Finally I used 1 layer of Ice the Snowcake for that lightly sprinkled with snow effect.  Ice the Snowcake is a mix of pure white glitters in a clear base.  I finished with 1 layer of topcoat on all nails.
