Christmassy Nail of the Day

The Christmas season is around the corner,  only 8 weeks away!! Yikes!

Soon we will all be panic buying last minute gifts and squeezing ourselves into our party dresses after one too many Quality Street!

Tonight, a bit by accident I created a 'Christmassy' nail effect.  I had been gifted this gorgeous classic red 'Enchanted Garnet' by Estee Lauder a while ago and this is my first time trying it out.  It just so happened to be sitting next to Nails Inc Westminster Abbey so I thought I would mix them up together.

Rather shoddily applied I admit but you get the general effect.  In fact on reflection, I've recreated the Estee lauder bottle design on my nails!!

This is the first time I have painted my nails in months after a succession of gel nails.  It felt good to delve back into the collection.  I do love the ease, glossiness and polished finish of gel nails but as hard as I try I always end up biting them off around the 2 week mark! (I don't advise this as a safe, hygienic or comfortable method of removing gel nails).

I'm sure I will resort back to gels in a matter of weeks, especially in the run up to the party season. Watch this space!
