I used up all my energy on everyone else’s Christmas manicures……

…so I ended up with a real lazy manicure for myself.  Nonetheless, I am still feeling festive. lol

Now I’m looking forward to some after-Christmas sales! This holiday season just flew by!

Dre’s Holiday pick

 Yep, ‘tis the season.  All things sparkly and shiny… red and green…. and gold. 🙂

Seems to me that the best folks to ask for nail polish suggestions are men!  I was talking to my brother André as I was pondering over what color/design to adorn my nails… he sarcastically replied “that should be hard”…smh. I had to explain how difficult it is to choose when there are so many options.  Then I asked for his suggestion…… Twinkle Lights with Black tips… (no he did NOT know the name of the polish.  hahahahaha)

the result was quite nice!  I would have been more surprised, but he actually has good taste. so……..

China Glaze “Twinkle Lights as a topcoat  over “Passion” was the bow on the “holiday feel”.  Like candy sprinkles on a sugar cookie in the shape of a Christmas Tree.  The glitter was sparser than I would have liked, so I ended up using three coats. Nonetheless still festive.   The topcoat alone would be adorable for little kiddie nails during the holiday.

Deviating from the widely held belief:  This “Twinkle Lights” glitter is NOT of the devil.  lol

I decided to use acrylic paint for the tips instead of polish because there would have been SIX layers of polish on the tips of my nails….. NO SIR!

I might have to ask André next time I can’t decide on a polish choice Smile.
