I painted myself sparkly holiday nails today! I have quite many glitter nail polishes to choose from and I got many different ideas, but I ended up doing a nude base with silvery slightly gold shimmer decoration.
Tänään sain taiottua itselleni jouluiset kimallekynnet! Kimaltavia kynsilakkoja on kertynyt aikamoinen määrä, joten valinta oli vaikeaa ja ideoita tuli mieleen jos jonkunlaista, mutta päädyin nudepohjaan ja hopeiseen aavistuksen kultaiseen kimallekoristeluun.
Step one: The base. I chose my favorite nude, Essie’s Tuck it in my tux. Of all the nudes I’ve ever tried, I love this the most.
Vaihe yksi: Pohja. Kaikista nuden sävyistä mitä olen ikinä kokeillut, on tämä ylin suosikkini. Essien Tuck it in my tux.
Step two: Glitter decoration. I painted one nail with a shimmery color called “jiggle high jiggle low”, and all the tips of the nails with “hors d’oeuvres”, which is more glittery.
Vaihe kaksi: Koristelu. Lakkasin yhden kynnen hohtavalla sävyllä nimeltä “jiggle high jiggle low”, ja kynsien kärjet glitterlakalla nimeltä “hors d’oeuvres”.
Here they are from left to right: hors d’oeuvres, jiggle high jiggle low, and gel setter top coat. That gave a nice glowy finish and made my nails feel smooth. Glitter polishes can feel a little weird without a top coat.
Päällyslakka on tärkeä glittereiden kanssa, niin tulee sileän tuntuinen pinta, ja mitä kiiltävämpi niin mun mielestä sen parempi! Gel setter top coat oli tähän loistava.
Aaand ready! I’m probably crazy but I can’t wait for this to wear off so I can try my other ideas hahah!
Ehkä hullua sanoa, mutten malta odottaa että tämä kuluu pois, niin saan kokeilla mun muita glitterisiä ideoita, hahha!
^ My new year’s eve nails 2012, post about these here. (Can’t believe my last nail tutorial post was three years ago?!) I love the glitter on a dark base too!
Uuden vuoden kynteni vuodelta 2012, postaus näistä täällä. (Viime kynsitutorial tehty kolme vuotta sitten?!) Kimallelakka näyttää niin hyvältä tummallakin pohjalla!
What’s your favorite holiday nail look? Something glittery or just a subtle red?

Super cute, I like the black ones!
Laís says
Oh, it’s so beautiful! I was thinking about painting my nails the good ol’ red, but this is so much better!
Marianna, how long do you keep the nailpolish on your nails? I usually change every 4 or 5 days because they don’t last longer. I don’t really like the worn out look if I keep it more than that.

I love Essie’s nail polishes, they’re always the best and esp. this time of the year, the sparkling/ glittery ones are too cute!

Ihania kynsilakkoja!!
Jenny says
Hey 🙂
I never dare to try a glittery nail look because whenever I try it it doesn’t look the way I want it to look so I just stick with a traditional dark red nail polish. My favourite is one by nails.inc (but I don’t know the name of the colour)
Btw I still love your blog (I have been reading it for years and still enjoy every post you publish, you are a real inspiration! 🙂 )
Love,
Jenny

Oi miten ihanat kynnet! Täytyy itsekin alkaa leikkimään kynsilakoilla taas enemmän 🙂
Marta says
I love the way you painted them! I’m currently obssesed with white nails. It’s winter color too, istn’t it? Does that gel top coat help keeping nailpolish longer on your nails?
Ana Carolina says
December 12! My birthday! Yay! I’m 21 now, funny to think I was 15 when started reading your blog!
And loved the nails, of course. Mine looks a bit like yours, but with less glitter!

Your glitters nails are so cute, I love it ! As you think, sparkly nails are perfect for christmas/winter, but I guess I’d rather wear classic red nails because I have the feeling that glitters doesn’t match with my personnality… Not girly enough I think ahah.
Thanks for this beautiful post, xx

Hey, how long do your nails stay polished and pretty? Mine usually wear off in two days and I’m pretty lazy about painting them back every two days 😀
