Christmas Tartan with OPI Gwen Stefani Holiday 2014

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?

  6. Again, 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!

  9. This 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.
