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.  

Sinful Colors Bikini & Sation Miss & Makeup

Morning polish friends!  I didn't have any posts scheduled for today so I browsed through my drafts and I had this one!  Hello hot pink nails!  I really love me some pink polish and the brighter the better.  I'm definitely no Barbie girl, more of a tomboy my whole life, but pink sure does speak to me!  

I started this with Sinful Colors Bikini.  Bikini is a mega hot magenta-pink polish with a purple (maybe fuchsia) shimmer.  It's bright, it's borderline neon, it's pretty awesome!  Bikini was a tad liquidy and there was some pooling off to the sides.  I did a rush job on this mani though, I'm sure if I would have taken my time all would have been fine.  I used 2 coats of Bikini.

I then topped Bikini with this awesome Sation polish - Miss and Makeup.  As far as I can tell Sation is only available at CosmoProf and on Amazon.  The only ones I have were gifts from my friend Gina.  Miss and Makeup is a great mix of hot pink hexs, silver and black shards, silver holo bars and silver holo microglitter in a clear base.  Since I used a pink base to start some of the pink hexs are lost in the mix, so next time I might try it over a nude or a light pink.  But I still love it!  Bright, sparkly, gorgeous! I used 2 coats of Miss and Makeup and then 1 layer of topcoat.  

Fever Lacquer Midnight In Your Shortest Skirt

This post brings another polish brand I haven't tried before!  Fever Lacquer has been around for a while now, but recently revamped shop and Casandra is putting out awesome new polishes like no ones business!  I am so glad I have tried it because now I want MORE!  Fortunately I have Pretty Little Liars and Violent Sweet as well!  Keep an eye out for post on those 2 sooner than later!  But this particular post features Midnight in Your Shortest Skirt.  Let's delve in, shall we?

MIYSS is gorgeous.  There is so much going on with this polish and it all works so well together.  The base is a sheer black - deep purple with glowing fuchsia shimmer.  As if that wasn't pretty enough on it's own there are fine holo bars for even more bling!  Get this on your nails like yesterday, wiggle those babies around and watch the rainbows play on your nails!  It's an awesome sight!  The formula of MIYSS was really nice, not too thick or thin.  The polish spread easily on the nails and I got plenty of holo bars out with each brush dip.  The bars lay completely flat.  I used 1 layer of topcoat for glossy shine.  The very last picture you will see in this set was taken with my iPhone.  I felt it showed the purple shimmer best and wanted to include it in this post so you'd have a better idea of the true colors in this polish.

You can purchase Midnight in Your Shortest Skirt at the Wishful Bath & Beauty store, which sells Fever Lacquer polishes and gorgeous mineral eyeshadows!  You can also follow the Facebook page for product updates.
