Orly: Red Carpet

I'm still playing catch up around here so that will explain why I'm posting my Christmas Day manicure in the middle of January!
 
I'm a bit of a traditionalist when it comes to Christmas beauty and so I'd always planned to go with a red (or gold, or green!) polish.  Red Carpet is one of the Orly polishes I chose at the Salon Melbourne event last year and it's a cherry red jelly with a subtle glitter sparkle. I'll tell you right now these pictures will not do justice to this little gem because it actually sparkles madly in the right light! This is two coats, finished with a single coat of top coat.

What did you choose for your Christmas mani?

    Such a perfect Christmas shade! I wore green polish for Christmas, really obsessed with green for nails at the moment

      Green was high on my list of choices too! I ended up in red overload - a red blouse, red lips and nails! 'Tis the season!!!

      I really enjoyed wearing it - very tinselly almost in real life!

    Holy moly, that is gorgeous! I love how it appears to be a cream, but has those subtle, gorgeous shimmers - that are still visible, not *too* secret, lol!

      It's a sneaky one isn't it! The little glitters are more obvious in real life but not in your face :-)
