Christmas nails: China Glaze Emerald Sparkle & Ruby Pumps

Merry Christmas! I hope everyone is having a great weekend so far! I know I am!

I ninja-ed into getting this post done because I really wanted this to be posted on Christmas day itself. My house is filled with family members so it was pretty hard! I had to stay up late and make sure that everyone was either asleep or otherwise occupied.

I did 3 coats each of China Glaze Emerald Sparkled and Ruby Pumps. Ruby Pumps is my favourite polish! I hope RP doesn't suffer the same fate as ES. ES is pretty, but I'm not the hugest fan of green. Perfect for Christmas though, especially with RP!

With one of my new Christmas tree ornaments! I think you know why I chose it ;)

I think the glitter is square. Either that or my eyes are playing tricks on me.

China Glaze should totally re-release Emerald Sparkle with Ruby Pumps as a Christmas set. Maybe make gold, silver, blue and mixed versions. Who wears cremes on Christmas anyway?

Merry Christmas again! I will be feasting tonight! (:

Blue & White Foil Christmas Gradient

Hi guys! It's been awhile (try since Halloween) since I last wrote a post that wasn't another day in my contest. Let me see if I still remember how my posts are written!

I originally planned 12 days of Christmas nails but I haven't had as much time as I would've liked and life has been really hectic this week. I'll probably post a few Christmas themed nails after Christmas itself.

I've been trying out a different camera and some different lighting conditions. Let me know how they look and which ones stay/go :D

Anyway, here is 3 coats of Revlon Royal (gifted to me by an awesome friend) with a Skin Food Pedicure Sparkle #11 (white foil) gradient. I thought it would look nice and snowy. Not that I've ever experienced snow. I accidentally overdid the gradient on my index finger, so we'll call that a blizzard?

Sorry for the photo spam! A part of me thinks you need to see every manicure in EVERY type of lighting.

I hope you enjoyed that! I'll try to post more but I can't guarantee anything, especially since I'll be spending time with my family. I don't really know how Christmas week is going to go, but I will try my best to post stuff! (:

Wow, if life and I were in any kind of martial arts competition, I would definitely get my ass handed to me. I thought of scheduling the remaining days' posts but I realised I needed the links to them, which don't exist until they're posted.
