Sparkling Holiday NOTD

Normally with something this picture-heavy, I’d hide a good deal of it behind the cut.  But today, I think I’m going to leave this post cut-free, just to spruce up the home page with some holiday cheer.

left to right: Rimmel Base/Top Coat (used as base coat here), China Glaze Short & Sassy, China Glaze 5 Golden Rings, CoverGirl Disco Dazzle Topcoat, Seche Vite.

The look is very simple to achieve, and I absolutely love the effect.  You don’t have to do a perfect job with your base color because you’ll eventually be covering it up.  I did one coat of China Glaze Short & Sassy on each nail, and then did a halfhearted gradient on the tips with China Glaze 5 Golden Rings (a sheer coat starting halfway down the nail, and another a little bit higher).  I covered the bottom of each nail with CoverGirl Disco Dazzle, and then finished things off with a coat of Seche.  Nice and easy, with a stunning effect.

*Note: all pictures were taken before I did any cleanup, so please excuse the slight messiness of the polish.

Party inspired by the rain, partly with the holidays in mind:

Raindrops keep falling on my head PLOP PLOP…

So I looked up the song on YouTube, and I realized that there is no plop plop part.  I could’ve sworn there was!  Hmm, I wonder what other songs my memory has altered.

This is my favorite part:

Raindrops keep fallin’ on my head
But that doesn’t mean my eyes will soon be turnin’ red

hehe  *for the ten billionth time* Happy Holidays everyone!
