Hello Everyone :)
Today I wanted to share some of my favourite nail polishes, and polish combos, for the Christmas Season (or just winter itself). I've been feeling super festive lately, so I thought this would be fun to share :)
I'll start off neutral with ORLY's "FIRST KISS". This is a really pretty peachy-nude polish. I like this all year long, but it's my favourite nude polish for winter. When I apply this colour, I like to start with 2 coats of a white polish as a base, and then follow with 2 coats of the Orly colour. It's a lot of coats, but "FIRST KISS" is meant to be a sheer french mani colour, and I like it to be more opaque.
For a cooler darker look, I like Chinaglaze "CONCRETE CATWALK" with O.P.I.'s "HOLIDAY GLOW" over top. Concrete Catwalk is a really nice dark grey that is just a little more subtle than a jet black. Holiday Glow is a sheer purple base with silver sparkles in it. First I applied 2 coats of Concrete Catwalk, and over that I applied 1 coat of Holiday Glow.
Lately, I've fallen in love with O.P.I.'s "SHIM-MERRY CHIC", but only over top of other colours. It's a browny-goldy sheer base with opalescent gold flakes throughout. I think its an absolutely gorgeous colour (when placed over a base colour). My favourite colour to layer it over is Orly's "PRINCE CHARMING". When I use this combo I put on 1 coat of Prince Charming, and over top 1 coat of Shim-Merry Chic.
This one is a polish I've raved about for a while now, whenever the seasons get colder and darker colours become more popular once again. This is O.P.I.'s "ALL A-BORDEAUX THE SLED", it's a rich dark wine colour that I think is absolutely stunning. Depending on the opacity I want, I'll apply 2 or 3 coats. The photo below shows 3.
"RUBY PUMPS" by Chinaglaze is my favourite festive polish. It's a beautiful red glitter that is perfect for Christmas time! You really only need 2 coats of this, but I like to add a third just to be certain its completely opaque. You can put a base underneath, but I don't think its necessary :)
Thank you so much for stopping by! Leave me comments of your favourite winter/holiday polishes below :)

I love the Orly nude color! Not sure about buying it because everytime I apply +3 coats I ruin my manicure pretty soon (looking for stuff in my purse etc). Do you know any similar one that's a little bit more pigmented?
ReplyDeleteBtw I love your anniversary makeup look! You look like Denise Richards on that video ;) x
Thanks for the lovely comment! I will keep my eye out for a more opaque nude polish- if I find one like this one- I will let you know :)
