Day 2, GOLD

Well, Day 2 of the Advent Calendar Mail Challenge is just not working for me... 

Today's theme is GOLD, Gold may be my least favorite nail polish color. That could be why the only gold I have is the mini Goldeneye from the OPI Skyfall collection. Now, I am an OPI girl. As far as I am concerned, they can do no wrong. Right? WRONG! Goldeneye did not impress me at all! It seemed a little thick, and hard to apply evenly. Even with two thick dabbed on coats, the coverage wasn't great. Part of the problem may have been that it is a mini bottle. It seemed hard to get out of the bottle...and clean up was such a Bi+(h that I finally just gave up! Oh well, one disappointing color out of hundreds is not bad odds!

I tried to make it a little better with some color and some nail art. I like how the holly leaves came out, and I like the red on the gold glitter. Once again, no sun today, so pics are inside with flash and outside in the shade.

Day 1, RED!

I know that I have been quiet lately, but hopefully December will be a more exciting month around here! Starting today, I am going to be doing the Advent Calendar Challenge from Happy Hands Nail Polish. 

Day one, as you can see, is RED! I decided to try out a new Chirality polish called Bloodshot. I am absolutely IN LOVE with all of the Chirality colors, and Bloodshot does not disappoint! It covers well in one coat, but I prefer two. The holo sparkle is just stunning. I just can't stop looking at my nails when I wear this polish. You can check out Chirality here https://www.facebook.com/chiralitypolish, you will not regret it!

So, even as beautiful as the Bloodshot is alone, I have trouble wearing just one color! I chose to add a thin silver 'racing stripe' that reminds me of tinsel!

The sparkle is outstanding! It is hard to really capture it in a picture. Unfortunately, there was no sun to be had today, so all pictures were done with artificial light. 

Day 1 accomplished. Wanna take bets on how long this will last?! Stop back by tomorrow and see if I can stay committed!
