Christmas themed mani. using Lynderella's and Wet 'n Wild.

Good afternoon! How is your day going? It's cold and dreary here, but DH and I have plans to got out tonight. I'm hoping the bad weather will hold off for a few hours. We are going to the Kansas City Country Club Plaza to see the Christmas lights, and eat at the Melting Pot. It's a fondue restaurant, so lots of yummy cheese and chocolate dips. This will be my first time there, and I'm excited! :-) I've wanted to eat there forever!

Anyway, I decided to do Christmas nails today. I started out with Wet 'n Wild Rockin' Rubies, which is part of the Ice Baby Holiday collection. It has fine red glitter with round, hex glitter. The polish was a bit on the thick side, but nothing too bad. I used three coats for full coverage. I had planned on just wearing this color, but then I started messing around with my Lynnderella polishes. I added a coat of Lynnderella I Can Afford It, which is made of of bright green glitter in different shapes and sizes. It also has a few gold and purple glitter pieces through out. I added a bit too much green, and decided it needed more red. So I grabbed another Lynnderella....Ruby Red Ruby. RRR is made up of all red glitter in different shapes and sizes. I am loving this combo, but dreading taking it off! I have on NINE coats of polish! That's including my treatment,base and topcoats.

Here are pics. of the finished mani.

  4. MrsMatched...Thank you! :-) The nail treatment I use is nailtiques Formula 2 They have several different formula's for different nail types and problems. I've been using it for almost a year, and it works really well. I switch back and forth between 2 and 2 plus. It's a bit expensive but really does work, and it lasts a long time.

    Megan....Yes, def. glitter bomb!! Thanks! :-)

    turtlechick...HI!!! :-) Thank you so much! Yes, I am NOT looking forward to taking it off. I have a feeling it might make me a little crazy. LOL!
