Sorry for the worst quality picture ever, but I left my camera at home. Here is my first attempt at half-moons using China Glaze Recycle and Revlon Silver Dollar.

I tried some nail strips, not sure how I feel about them. They look pretty cool but they were difficult to work with and only lasted a day before I peeled them off. The purple is OPI’s “A Grape Fit!” and the nail strips are some random brand called ANB.

For Christmas one of my booiful best friends Lbuis got me some Nicole by OPI polishes! For this mani I used Nicole by OPI Light a Candle as the base and a Nail Star striper in black for the lines.
Light a Candle is such a pretty silver with lavender tones, and it covers well in just one coat. Thanks again L &lt;333

Nails Inc. Magnetic Polish in &#8216;Houses of Parliament&#8217;
Houses of Parliament is a beautiful warm purple colour that looks nice even before applying the magnet effect. My pinky and ring finger have 1 coat and the others have 2 coats. The number of coats didn&#8217;t make a huge difference in my opinion, but the effect will vary depending on how thick you apply the polish (the thicker the layer, the darker the black part will be). It only takes a few seconds for the magnet to work its magic, leaving a really neat effect. Overall, I am really happy with this nail polish. It&#8217;s something fun and unique, and I&#8217;d love to try the other 2 colours as well. Nails Inc. Magnetic Polish can be found at Sephora for $16.

Another Quick Christmas Mani
I used Revlon Emerald City (Matte Suede) as a base, Revlon Silver Dollar for the tree, and Sephora by OPI Keep Me On My Mistletoes for the tree’s star.

Emerald City is a gorgeous forest green with a subtle shimmer. First photo is artificial light, second photo is natural light. It’s fairly opaque and applies really well. I used 2 coats here, no topcoat (didn’t want to change the “matte suede” finish). Overall I like this colour, although I’m not sure about the finish. This is my first matte polish so I think I’ll try a few others before I decide how I feel.
