Gemstone Polish

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!

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!).
