Essie's Fishnet Stockings! I've always shied away from red, but decided to do something different for Christmas. I love it.
So pretty!

Doing my Christmas mani. WnW metallica, French white creme, the gold & the beautiful, red red, and SC Exotic green. I'm going to quilt a few and stripe a few in different ways trying out the striping tape.
Question for those that use the fast dry drops. Can/do you use it between layers? Or is it just for final? I'm curious if it'd make my dry time between all these different colors/layers shorter.

Took pics. I didn't like them until I put a few layers of topcoat on them. Now they're growing on me. I love the mini quilt pattern, the bigger one not so much.

This is the shade I'm wearing for Christmas (actually posted it before) but I had to post this for the non-nail related cuteness. We were lounging

I'm not all that keen on magnetic polish (or crackle or matte, etc) but I like to try new things at least once. My sis got me some in a green color (Magnetique brand, no color name) so I did a few accent nails with it and it's pretty cool!
The other nails are Sally Hansen Insta Dri in Jumpin Jade.

Essie's bahama mama
This was a christmas gift. It looks very similar to OPI's miami beet that I picked up earlier this week. I need a swap :-)

I violated my "no-buy" but when you guys see the tiny ass bottles of polish I'm sure I can pardon myself.
Pics in a few.
