I did some very simple nail art in honor of Christmas being only 2 days away, even though I wore this manicure at the end of last week. I used Orly Wandering Vine, which is a very dark pine green cream polish and Essie Size Matters with Nicole by OPI Orna-meant For Each Other for some sparkle.
Wandering Vine had a very watery formula, which I'm not exactly used to. I used three coats of it just to get full coverage. From what I had gathered in my own research of reading other blogs and fashion magazines, earthy greens were a very big trend for the fall. I had gotten this shade with the intention of doing a green fall manicure, but never got around to it. I thought this one was more of a winter because it reminded me of Christmas trees.
I used Essie Size Matters with a dotting tool to make something that kind of looked like clusters of holly berries on opposite corners of my ring fingers and thumbs and then put Orna-meant for Each Other on top to make it sparkle. Before I put the glitter polish on the red dots they kind of blended in with the green (if you can imagine that, since they're on opposite sides of the color wheel) because they were both so dark.
Over all, I was very pleased with the results and it lasted for a good 3 days. This was almost impossible to get off of my nails though. Took almost an entire jumbo sized cotton ball per nail. Such a waste.
I got my mini bottle of Orly Wandering Vine for $3.50 US, Nicole by OPI Orna-meant for Each Other for $7 US, and Essie Size Matters full sized bottle for $8 US.
