Razzle Dazzle

Good Evening People!! Today, I'm showing you my Christmas manicure for this year! I may have gone a tad crazy with the glitter and rhinestones... Oops! At least it's appropriately festive and sparkly :) And to be honest, if you can't get away with glitter overboard at this time of year, when can you?! Glitter Mania!! Ha Ha! I started the manicure by painting all my nails with Essie 'Lots Of Lux' which is the most beautiful royal blue textured glitter polish. It's so sparkly and the colour is crazy intense! Love it.

It was a lot trickier than I'd anticipated so I'm actually quite pleased with how it turned out :) I started by painting all my nails with Essie 'Haute T ub'  which is a black based nail polish filled with rose pink glass flecks. I was not expecting to love this polish as much as I do as I usually steer away from black. In fact I loved it so much that I wore it on it's own for a few days first (hence the big cuticle gap!). Over my non-accent nails, I painted Lacquerhead Polish 'Witches Be Crazy' (orange metallic and holo hex glitter with a spattering of purple, cyan, emerald
