I had this mani, which I LOVED, and another one that I had been waiting a long time to do, to show for Christmas. But then I had to pack and fly home and a week had gone by before it started chipping and I hadn't snapped a picture.
Then I was SO ready to start the new 31 day challenge. But it had to wait until I got back from vacation. Which was when I promptly came down with the flu. Ugh.
So, there have been a couple of manis that didn't make it to my camera, but I'm fever-free and ready to start postin'!
So, this is a Christmas mani I originally saw on The Swatching Sprite (I'm so sad she's stopped posting--I loved this blog!) and had been dying to try. Except for some pesky topcoat smearage, I LOVED how these turned out!
*1 coat Gelous base
*2 coats Cover Girl White Night
*1 coat Zoya Ginessa
*Revlon Posh
*Zoya America
*1 coat Out the Door
I loved these polka dots! Ginessa is a gorgeous white shimmer that, for opacity, is best layered over a white cream, and it's such a pretty base! I fought every instinct and let the red, green, and white cream dots stand alone. I like the lighter tone of America and Posh together. I even liked the design of the dots (which I am so excited to do again and again for different holidays/color combos!). I even waited a full 15 minutes but it still dragged the red :( In real life, it was totally not as noticeable.
Any tips for keeping a topcoat from dragging colors below? Please share!
