Now, I told you (and showed you) in yesterday’s post that I overcompensated this year by wearing China Glaze Party Hearty a lot to make up for not sporting it last year.
The one Instagram photo I snapped with my iPhone was insufficient. When you go overboard, you have to really go overboard, take the plunge, and throw all the sailors off the boat with you! (Just make sure they can swim first!) 😉
So, here are lots of photos of my Christmas Manicure that I’ve been wearing since December 25th all the way up to today. (Plus I only took the photos for this post with my proper camera yesterday evening. While it’s no longer a fresh manicure, I still loved it so much and wanted to share some holiday spirit.)
Some of you may know that I spent the holidays at my mom’s place. We were pretty busy, and I literally painted this 30 minutes before guests arrived because I didn’t want my nails to be naked for a special occasion. (Thank goodness for the miraculous Seche Vite Fast Drying Top Coat…hehe!)
Layering Party Hearty over dark green is my favourite so far. What other colours have you used under it? I’d love to see it over a purple.

Oh how lovely and christmas:y your manicure was.! I haven’t published mine yet. I must edit it first but I had a gradient from black to red and then a lot of holographic glitter on top. And the cherry on top was a pearl rhinestone to match my jewelries. 😀

Hey Lizzy!
Thanks! 🙂 I found myself looking down at my nails a lot at Christmas. I wait for this time of year to treat myself to Party Hearty.
Beautiful! I prefer Party Hearty over red and green rather than on gold! I wore a gold and red Kiko glitter over the old version of Holy Grail A-England; I have to edit the pictures and if you want then share them on your wall!

Hey Paola!
My preference is with it over green, but over gold, it has an interesting look to it – also festive, but dinosaur-egg-like…hehe!
Sure, feel free to share your manicure on my Facebook wall! 🙂 I’d love to see, and I know that my readers would, too.
Love that combo! I did red and green with gold and silver glitter!
Hey Olivia!
Thank you! Your manicure also sounds really fun and festive! 🙂
