The malls are busy, the stores have their Christmas Garb out full-fledged and of course the cosmetic brands have their Christmas collections out! Here is the first of MANY holiday manicures!

Here is the first that I wore, the beautiful China Glaze Emerald Sparkle.



And then just for fun I decided to try it with various top coats (this was just before I removed my mani:



Thumb - Pinky: China Glaze Party Hearty, WnW Prancer, WnW Comet, China Glaze Golden Enchantment and SH Urban Chic.

Harry Potter Manicure!

In celebration of the release of HP7, I went with a Harry Potter themed manicure. I don't free hand designs often so these are a little rough. Index to pinky are Hufflepuff, Gryffindor, Slytherin and Ravenclaw. My thumb is a Golden Snitch.





Thumb: Joe Fresh - Powder Blue, clouds and snitch wings are SH Insta-Dry in Whirlwind White and the golden snitch itself is SH CSM in Gilty Pleasure.
Index Finger: Base colour is a mixture of Essie Vermillionaire and Essie Hello Yellow. The black is WnW in Black Creme.
Middle Finger: Red is OPI A Ruby For Rudolph and the gold is SH CSM in Gilty Pleasure
Ring Finger: Green is OPI Here Today Aragon Tomorrow Suede with TC and the silver is Nicole by OPI in Positive Energy
