Rustic Foil Fall Leaves

Well, as the title says, this is my approach to an actual fall-themed manicure... (actually, did the title even make sense?)

So I did this a couple weeks back before the wind chill arrived with your typical dry pre-winter weather. If I remembered correctly, I did this nail art on the actual decent sunny fall day that made me love fall despite of the amount of yard raking that I have to do...

Without further ado...

 As usual... please ignore my cuticles and dry skin... just focus on the colours
 Picture was taken outdoor, where the sky was sunny enough to be like summer if not for the colder temperature...

China Glaze Party Hearty is awesome~

Yes, the title tells it all! China Glaze's Party Hearty from ‘Tis The Season To Be Naughty Or Nice 2010 collection is just pure awesomeness that screams: "It's Christmas!" even at the first glance!

Without further ado, here I present Party Hearty!


Pictured above is two coats of Party Hearty topped with matte topcoat on all nails. The pinkie and ring finger has shimmer basecoat. Party Hearty itself is clear polish with gel-like consistency to suspend its hexagonal red glitters, medium-sized round green glitters and smaller silver glitters. At first glance of the bottle itself, all that you'd be able to see would be the glitters. Yes, there's THAT much glitters in it. However, application wise? Well, it somewhat varied depending on your application finese?

Here's what I meant:


All of my nails technically have two coats of PH, however you can definitely see the difference in the amount of glitters that I had on my middle and index finger. I was wearing PH on its own, though I have no doubt that it will be a great layering polish if you hate VNL.

So anyway, over all, Party Hearty is a great christmas-themed polish, which is great to wear to glam out your nails for christmas parties. Unfortunately, you probably can only wear it around Christmas time... unless you're like me, who just love Christmas and wishes that it's Christmas all year around!

OPI Extra-va-vaganza!

After three weeks of constantly checking my mail box like a person with OCD, the nail polishes I ordered finally arrived at my door! After doing a celebratory dance and staring at the pretty bottles, I decided to put on Extrava-va-ganza! from the OPI Holiday 2010 Burlesque collection.

Extrava-va-ganza! is part of the glitter collection of the whole collection. It's densely packed together chunky glitter on clear base polish, dominated mostly by orange/copper and silver glitters. However, you can definitely see green, blue, yellow, pink/purple glitters peeking through the orange/silver glitter canopies!
