China Glaze Christmas-themed Nails
As I mentioned this morning on Twitter, I did a Christmas-y theme on my nails with China Glaze Ruby Pumps and Emerald Sparkle. I just alternated the colors for my theme :) I used Zoya’s Color-Lock System for base, top, and drying coats!
I’d love to know if you’ve been doing any winter or holiday-inspired nails this season! Share what you’re wearing in the comments!
See more photos!

LOVE! Wish I’d thought of it! I painted using OPI Merry Midnight last night and probably won’t have time to change again… but may have to stay up late tonight and do it anyway!
Christine
Thursday, December 24, 2009
Oh, Merry Midnight! That’s a nice one :) So pretty. I’m cheesy, so I HAD to do red/green. I rarely have the time (or the patience) do a real, full mani (well, at least… the color part of one) since I usually just do swatches, but this was a must-do!

love love love! but how come the nail polish never touched your cuticles? i’ve been wondereing about that forEVER.
Christine
Friday, December 25, 2009
I’m not skilled enough to not get it ALL OVER my cuticles for one, but since I don’t wear polish for long, I prefer to keep off my cuticles so I don’t rub ‘em too much in the removal process.

Gorgeous manicure! :)
Today I am wearing OPI’s Dear Santa. I adore this one and I just love the name. :D
Christine
Friday, December 25, 2009

That’s a very appropriate shade!

How do you keep your nails looking so nice? I can’t seem to get mine to grow!
I’m wearing Ruby Pumps, too. :)
Christine
Friday, December 25, 2009
I don’t do anything, I swear! LOL. I will say I must be blessed, because I really don’t do anything extra!
Nancy

Karla

I haven’t been doing my nails lately, but I did paint my toe nails red for the holidays. Affaire in Red Square by OPI it’s a really pretty red shimmer. Maybe I will paint my nails too. lol.
Christine
Friday, December 25, 2009
Ohh, pretty!
Did you end up painting your nails, Karla?

I’m wearing Emerald Sparkle right now. The girl at Mac was gushing over it so much, she gave me the wrong item. >:o
Christine
Friday, December 25, 2009
LOL! That’s good, and yet totally annoying!

Gorgeous choice of colors!
Since here in Brazil is summer, I choose a bright and happy orange from a national brand.
Merry Christmas!
Christine
Friday, December 25, 2009
Ohh, orange! That’s fun :D
Happy holidays, Camilla! Enjoy the warm summer, lol!

I’m wearing Sinful Colors San Francisco (emerald green) with Call Me Later (bright green glitter) over the top! It reminds me of Emerald Sparkle, but brighter and with a lot more glitter!

Today I’m wearing China Glaze Ruby Pumps, and last week I was wearing China Glaze Outta Bounds with Nicole by OPI Winter Glitterland top coat (looks very similar to this person’s: http://www.stephscloset.com/blog/gallery/id/3753/nicole-by-opi-winter-glitterland-nail-polish-over-green/)
Christine
Friday, December 25, 2009
Oohh, that’s pretty!

I’ll be wearing OPI’s “Smitten with mittens” In the jar it looks like Ruby Pumps but with gold glitter too, but when you put it on your nails it’s a complete dupe for ruby pumps. I like the application of OPI better, but both gorgeous colors!
Christine
Friday, December 25, 2009
I didn’t think they were dupes at all :( I wore it, and I just didn’t have that same blown away experience!
Alison
Thursday, December 24, 2009
I’m totally rocking emerald sparkle too.
Christine
Friday, December 25, 2009

I love these colors
I’ve been painting my nails with diagonals of ruby pumps, medallion, and then the emerald sparkle.
My fingers look like little ornaments!!!!!! :)
Ruby pumps and emerald sparkle are both THE red and green of christmas…like PERFECTLYYYYYYY
Christine
Friday, December 25, 2009
That’s gorgeous! I want pics!

I wish I had Emerald Sparkle! The closest thing I have is Watermelon Rind, which is too blue-y for Christmas, so instead I went with Heart of Africa, with Ruby Pumps on top! It’s actually really hot, if I do say so myself :-)
Christine
Friday, December 25, 2009
Aww, I hope you can find it soon!
:) But what you have sounds lovely!
Miranda
Friday, December 25, 2009
I love this! Sadly I could not find these polishes where I live, so I’m going with MAC’s Lucky Number (still very pretty, though).
Christine
Friday, December 25, 2009
Thanks, Miranda! :)
Boo for not being able to find it though!
Nadine

I’m wearing ruby pumps with a gold holographic by china glaze over top – it makes it look so multidimensional! Happy holidays to all!
Christine

Happy holidays!
Sarah

I actually have Essie’s Mint Candy Apple on, reminds me of these mints my aunt made when I was a kid lol. I broke 3 nails today though so I’ve gotta give myself a new manicure :-/
Christine
Friday, December 25, 2009
Aww :( Poor nails!
What’s the new mani going to be?
Happy holidays, Sarah!! <3
