Christmas Day mani: OPI - Underneath The Mistletoe

Now for what's likely to be my last post for 2013!

Continuing with the traditional red and gold theme for Christmas season manicures I chose another variation for my Christmas Day mani using a combination of something new and something old from OPI, who always manage to bring out something to blow me away in their annual holiday collections.
 
The new shade I used on most of my nails is Underneath The Mistletoe from OPI's latest collaboration with Mariah Carey for their 2013 holiday collection.  Underneath The Mistletoe is a deep cranberry jelly polish swimming with fine silver glitter giving it a multidimensional sparkle.  I used three coats for an opaque coverage.  For my accent nail I chose an old OPI holiday glitter, the slightly greenish gold Glow Up Already (from OPI's 2010 Burlesque collection) to add yet more sparkle and voila!

Sun - the camera's freaking out here...


Until next year!

  6. I rarely pay attention to OPI's collections nowadays and the red is more interesting than I first thought. And you know how much I like red and gold, too. :)

    1. Ooh yes I adored your red and gold post! Can't get enough of it myself!

      I know what you mean in regards to OPI's new releases. I feel like they bring out too many collections these days - I know that I can't keep up so I don't have the same obsession as I used to because there's no long wait or build up of anticipation between collections.
