It's Christmas!

Though this post is literally nothing other than a "Look at my Christmas nail polish!". I wanted to do something fancy for my nails this year - my friend Lara found a great Xmas tree design that I really wanted to try. But to get the proper triangular design I needed to use sticky tape, and I didn't have the time in the lead up to Xmas to actually do it justice. So I just got out my five Christmas nail polishes and plonked them on.

And the only reason they are Xmas nail polishes are that they are from various OPI Xmas ranges - they put out Xmas colours every year.

So we have - from left to right - Music Hall Curtain Call, Baby It's "Coal" Outside (see what they did there ;) ), Dear Santa, Merry Midnight and Gone Gonzo. I love all these colours, for various reasons.

Music Hall is a wonderful Copper type colour. Or is it Bronze? I'm so bad at all those types of colours! It does have amazing coverage on the nail - all you really need is one coat.

Baby it's Coal Outside is a wonderful sparkly black. But it is slightly less good on the coverage - needs two layers to be truly opaque.

 Dear Santa is a sparkly red. And actually I think it's one of my favourite reds. But I love anything sparkly.

Merry Midnight is a sparkly purple. The coverage on this one is less good - even with the token two coats, it needs more. It is however gorgeous and I wish I had got a photo to do it justice.

And lastly Gone Gonzo - which is just blue glitter - but so tightly packed that it doesn't really need anything underneath it. And it is ultra effective - really eye catching.
