One of the suggestions I got from the giveaway was to do a holiday french manicure, using bright colors. I thought this sounded like a really fun idea!

For these nails, I started off with one thin coat of
OPI Glitzerland, just to give a nice touchof that sparkly champagne color to the nail. After letting that dry, I applied tip liner stickers and used alternating red (
OPI Affair in Red Square) and green (
China Glaze Paper Chasing) to apply the tip colors. I used two coats of each of these to get full coverage. Finally, to give it a final Christmas look, I added holly bundles from bundle monster plate
BM14. I topped it all off with a coat of Seche Vite!
For the most part I really liked this mani, although I kind of wonder if it was maybe... too much? It is definitely very festive, but I am not sure whether it crosses the line or not. I would say about 90% of the time wearing it I really liked it, the rest of the time I was not so sure. What do you think - bright holiday tips, a french do or don't? :)
I think it's really cute, for christmas. I wouldn't wear it 'cause is't too much for me.
