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!

Very gorgeous nails!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
unfortunately I can’t find China glaze here in Italy so, for this holidays I’m wearing Dior Nail polish in Red Dahlia :)))
Thanks, Sara!
Ohh, that’s a pretty shade 🙂
🙂 This nail polish is a present for Christmas from my best friend
Aww! You’re a good friend for giving such an awesome gift 😉
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!
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!
i’ve also been wearing Ruby Pumps on my nails the past couple of days, but for Christmas tomorrow i’ll be wearing OPI’s Holiday Glow.
Lovely shades for the holidays 🙂
That’s what I’m wearing now. So pretty!
Woo! Great minds think alike!
OPI I’m Not Really a Waitress. I really want Ruby Pumps now, haha.
Nice!
Ruby Pumps is loveeeee! It’s a must-have, seriously 😉
I’m planning on doing that exact mani tonight 🙂
Awesome, Ally!
Merry Christmas Christine! They look beautiful!
Happy holidays, Emm!
love love love! but how come the nail polish never touched your cuticles? i’ve been wondereing about that forEVER.
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. 😀
Thanks, Jeanette! 😉
That’s a very appropriate shade!
Haha, I did the same exact nails with the same nail polishes about a week ago! 😀
Nice!
How do you keep your nails looking so nice? I can’t seem to get mine to grow!
I’m wearing Ruby Pumps, too. 🙂
I don’t do anything, I swear! LOL. I will say I must be blessed, because I really don’t do anything extra!
i have white thumbnails and matte red every other fingernail, and green sparkly nails(San Francisco)
That sounds awesome, Nancy! Very creative 😉
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.
Ohh, pretty!
Did you end up painting your nails, Karla?
Wonderful 🙂 Now I must think about elfs :D:D
Haha!
I’m wearing Emerald Sparkle right now. The girl at Mac was gushing over it so much, she gave me the wrong item. >:o
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!
Ohh, orange! That’s fun 😀
Happy holidays, Camilla! Enjoy the warm summer, lol!
ever since you reviewed emerald sparkle last month i’ve been rocking this christmas nail look!
Very nice 😀 Emerald Sparkle is made of awesome.
Talk about gorgeousness =)
Aw, thanks Egon!
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!
That sounds really fun 😀
So cute! Love the glitter. I’ll be wearing Chanel Gold Fiction (Ltd. Ed. from last year).
Oh, Gold Fiction! I didn’t grab it, but I remember it. Gorgeous 🙂
Cute!
I’m wearing Dior Silver Purple, it’s gorgeous! But i’m changing it to Dear Santa – ho! ho! ho!
Oh, good one 😀
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/)
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!
I didn’t think they were dupes at all 🙁 I wore it, and I just didn’t have that same blown away experience!
I’m totally rocking emerald sparkle too.
Woo!! 😀
Oooh, I love it! 😀
Yay! Thanks, Alannah!
I’m doing my nails before I go to Midnight Mass. I think I’ll wear Ruby Pumps. 🙂 At the moment I am wearing Essie Mint Candy Apple though.
Good pick 😉
I am wearing Sephora OPI Worth My Weight today.
woohoo! me too! i felt like it was perfect for the holidays!
I’m wearing Lippmann Ruby Red Slippers. Oh so sparkly!
Ohh, love that one!
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
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 🙂
Aww, I hope you can find it soon!
🙂 But what you have sounds lovely!
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).
Thanks, Miranda! 🙂
Boo for not being able to find it though!
I’m wearing ruby pumps with a gold holographic by china glaze over top – it makes it look so multidimensional! Happy holidays to all!
Oh, that sounds beautiful! Any pics?
Happy holidays!
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 :-/
Aww 🙁 Poor nails!
What’s the new mani going to be?
Happy holidays, Sarah!! <3
Cute mani!! 😀
Thanks, Catherine!
i’m wearing $OPI worth my weight (:
I’m wearing Emerald Sparkle as well!
Isn’t it such an awesome color?
This is so pretty!
Thanks, Bridgette!
looks fun!
Yay 🙂 Thanks, Andrea!
Oh so pretty!
Thanks, Cristal!
