I almost never wear nail polish on my hands.
As a gardener and an overall klutz, I am always chipping it off and it looks horrible after a couple of days and it never seems worth the effort.
My toes on the other hand, are almost always covered in polish. This past Monday I went for a pedicure. It had been awhile; I normally do my own pedicures because I am, well, cheap. However, I received a gift certificate to a local spa awhile back and decided that this was the day to use it.
The results:
But there is something about the holiday season that brings out every ounce of excess in me...I despair for the house this season as I will have time to REALLY decorate, not just slapdash it all up...I feel positively Fezziwig-ish in November and December leading up to the holidays!
Someone may need to reach out and comfort old Barry...
Anyhow, dear daughter and I were shopping for nail polish last week and we came upon the Mariah Carey OPI Holiday Collection.
Oh Mariah - you can sing, but you kind of scare me, though you do make some pretty nail polish colours!
There are delicious reds and glittery pots of sequin-y goodness!
I admit that Cute Little Vixen (on my toes up above) and In My Santa Suit came home with me, as did this little number:
It is clear nail polish with these random sequin/rhinestone/disco ball bits in it. You KNOW I had to have it! And of course I had to try it out on my more neutrally polished fingernails to show you the effect:
The colour I am wearing underneath this crazy bling is And This Little Piggy (see below) and it is very pretty. Of course, this is already chipping off and it is all coming off this morning anyway, since even me, in all of my excesses, doesn't really like running around with disco ball fingers unless I am heading to a party!
How about you? Do you go for the nail colour come the Holiday Season? What brands or shades do you love? Do you think crazy bling on your nails is over the top?
Have an awesome Wednesday and stay safe out there!
