Merry Christmas (Plus E.L.F NOTD)

Currently listening to: Illuminations by Josh Groban

Merry Christmas everyone! If you celebrate Christmas, I hope you have had a lovely day with family and loved ones and Santa was good to you :-)

Here is my Christmas manicure, using a white frost nail polish in Pearl from E.L.F and the usual Essence Glitter Topper. That glitter topcoat really does go with everything.




The original plan was to put a rose sticker from Viva La Nails on each nail but that plan went out the window when I discovered how difficult the stickers were to apply. In fact, most of the stickers broke as I was removing them from the backing sheet so I was very disappointed with them and only managed to put two on my thumb nails before giving up and falling back on my glitter topcoat.



As for the polish itself, I find frosted whites tend to be quite thick and this one fell into that category too. I have some tip wear and a few little chips after a day and a half but that's easily fixed with this kind of polish and I can't complain too much since it was only £1.50. Regardless, I enjoyed looking at my nails today :-)

Bye for now,
Laura

  3. I love the mani, so pretty! I'm sorry to hear you had trouble with your decals... I've never use them before, so I'm not sure what to say. Maybe it was a dodgy sample?
