Christmas/New Year's manis

Kicking off 2016 Dr. Frank. N. Further style ;-)

These polishes were given to me a couple of Christmases ago. I'm not a huge glitz/sparkle person if I'm honest, but I do like to experiment with different finishes every now and then.

The pics aren't amazing, but hopefully you can see that both are lightly tinted top coats with single toned glitter (scarlet/chrome).

Christmas - 'Untold'

New Year - 'Creator'

Azature - Black Diamond

I have the tools at my disposal to attempt something like this but... effort.

Anyone that has been for a mani in the last ten years knows that polish isn't the be all and end all. Longer lasting alternatives are available and no, they don't do any damage to your natural nail.

Glitter polish - the scourge

The rest - polish

Whenever we're going out at the weekend and the girls come round mine first (if I feel up to entertaining as I seldom do these days) every single time, without fail they conveniently forget to do their nails - you know who you are guys! :P
