If you can’t be extra and do a pretty glittery manicure at Christmas, when can you? I’ve picked out some of my favourite polishes in my collection and created some ideas to inspire you to get painting.
I’ve popped in some swatches here so you can see how pretty they are. I’ve also linked the polishes I’ve used in each swatch. If not available, I’ve tried to find a dupe or similar alternative.
Champagne gold
‘Essence ‘On Air’
Red and gold glitter
Barry M ‘Opulent’ (free gift with purchase so no longer available – Orly ‘Stronger than Ever’ is the closest match I can find as this is quite a unique shade).
Sparkling purple
Rimmel ‘Midnight Blue’ (no longer available – Rimmel ‘Moonlight Magic’ is similar) with Barry M ‘Whimsical Dreams’ on top.
Green and gold glitter
China Glaze ‘This is Tree-Mendous’ (no longer available – Zoya ‘Elphie’ is a nice alternative with a similar texture).
Black and gold glitter
Wet n Wild ‘Black Creme’ (UK alternative – Essence ‘Black’) with Essie ‘Summit of Style’ on top.
Ruby red glitter
Barry M ‘Ruby Slippers’
Black and holo flakes
Wet n Wild ‘Black Creme’ (UK alternative – Essence ‘Black’) with China Glaze ‘Luxe and Lush’ on top.
