Getting Ready for Christmas: Glitter Overload

Hello my lovelies! It's time for another post from the Getting Ready for Christmas challenge created by Elsa from Like A Candy Shop. I'm going on vacation today so I will take a little break from the challenge until I return. Today's theme is glitter overload, so I decided to do a manicure inspired by Santa's suit. It looks like this. 

Golden Rose Rich Color 45 and Carnival 01 indoors, artificial light

Both polishes I used for this manicure are from Golden Rose. First off, the red I used as a base is from the Rich Color collection and has the number 45. It's a red jelly that is full of shimmer. Very christmassy!

I really love this red because it's a bit darker, so it's suitable for my skin tone. The jelly base makes the shimmer stand out, which is great. This may require a third coat depending on your nail length, but it's ok because it dries really fast.

On top of the red I added a coat of Golden Rose Carnival 01. It's an all white layering glitter that has different sizes of hex and also bar glitter. I usually don't like bar glitter but it really suits this polish. It looks exactly like snow! And over red it reminds me of Santa's suit.

I think this is the perfect glitter manicure for this season! I can't wait to see what the other girls came up with for this theme. Make sure you follow Elsa's Facebook page to see all the entries.

  5. Thank you! I am in love with the white glitter too. I'm not sure if you have Claire's shops in Italy but I've seen a white glitter similar to this one there.
