There are many ways I could go, but decided I wanted to do something simply, and a bit elegant, while still being a little festive. Black and glitter is always a perfect combo in these situations.
I went with a thin coat of a sheer silvery holographic glitter, with black tips, and a little black squiggle Christmas Tree, with red glitter accents. (and threw a black snowflake on the thumb for good measure)
I've recently broken most of my nails, which is why they are all so short. And yes, my nails are a bit discolored. This is what happens when you are bad at caring for your nails and don't use a base coat...especially when wearing heavily pigmented reds & blues. I should know better, and I DO know better... I just rarely take the time. In person, the discoloration isn't very noticeable, so it'll be fine for the party.
I did my nails so early, because lately I have been hard to please with my nails, so wanted to make sure I had enough time to redo them at least once. Luckily, I am pleased with these.
