Hi guys! I feel silly for starting the post title with 'christmas' when it's not even December yet, but this mani unintentionally turned out looking christmas-y to me, so I thought maybe this could count as one of christmas manicures idea.
The bf got me 14 of OPI Gwen Stefani Holiday polishes for my birthday, since I don't feel like swatching them today, I did a nail art instead.
I started with 2 coats of the base color, OPI Red Fingers & Mistletoes, and painted the vertical & horizontal criss cross pattern with Christmas Gone Plaid and First Class Desires, then sealed with HK Girl top coat. These were easy and quick!
I ended up using matte top coat on these, and I think I prefer them this way. What do you think?

I love how these turned out. I prefer them glossy, but they look awesome matte too.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous design. I'm in awe of your thin lines.
ReplyDeleteI love what you did here!! So cool!
ReplyDeleteI am so in love with this! I think I prefer it glossy but it looks great both ways!
ReplyDeleteThis is perfect and amazing! I love it glossy the most!
ReplyDeleteum, hello. This is stunning!
ReplyDeleteAgain, I believe everything should be matted out but this looks stunning either way. This makes me want to snuggle up next to a warm fire with hot chocolate. Great job!
ReplyDeleteLove the color combo and I really like it with the matte top coat.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great mani! It looks like a cozy flannel shirt or blanket - love it! And I agree - I think I like it matte best :)
ReplyDeleteThis turned out really cute. It reminds me of a worm comfy blanket. I think I like it better glossy but it looks good both ways.
ReplyDeleteLove the sparkle when shiny but the design stands out a bit more when mattified :). Love it both ways!
ReplyDeleteFor once I actually love the glossy version!
ReplyDeleteThese look awesome! I think I prefer them glossy but they look great mattified too haha (:
