Feeling quite Christmassy, and as I've said before, love a bit 'o' sparkle.
I'm also quite impatient for things to dry, so if your pushed for time and want a quick glam look, I think this is a good option!
So as always make sure your nails are clean and filled ready to rock and roll.
I didn't apply a base coat simply because I used Nailsinc Kate spade nail varnish range in Uptown glamour, I've used it with a base coat before, and it was quite streaky and took much longer to dry.. without a base coat it has a much nicer Matt finish. No idea why..?
I have to say I've never really been overly impressed with Nails inc and having been to there salon in London and coming back with not the nicest manicure in the world, I was hoping to be proved wrong.
Needless to say for the look I'm going for this shade works well.
The great thing is it drys very quickly, but if wearing it by itself it does chip quite easily if you don't apply a top coat. (Jus sayin)
Next step I was then ready to apply ORLY sparkly gold polish. If applying this without a base colour behind it, you'll get a clear varnish with a bit of a glitter effect.
With a base colour behind it you get a much more intense look and sparkle!
Then to finish the look I used Barry M 3 in 1 product Base coat, Top coat and Nail Hardener in one.
Really great for finishing off the look, and also so you don't get that grainy texture from glitter polish :)
I've seen some amazing nail designs of late snowflakes and all would love to see some of yours!
