What I Wore 12/18-12/27

The week of Christmas was week of sparkly nails.  I started by wearing China Glaze I Soiree I Didn't Do It from the Cheers collection (this year's holiday collection).


I Soiree is the only polish from the Cheers collection that I picked up.  I might go back and get more because I really really really enjoyed this polish.  Nobody does microglitters like china glaze does.  This one had teal, blue, green, and holo glitters mixed together.  All the colors mixed makes a stunning green leaning teal that glistens so well.  It was also opaque in 2 coats which is awesome for a glitter.

After wearing I Soiree for 3 days, I chose to wear Dance Legend Sulley from the Chameleon collection.  I love duochromes and my favorite movie is Monster's Inc, so I couldn't resist.  I'm determined to own the entire collection (It'll be my only complete collection-I just love that the polishes are named after characters in the movie).  This is 2 coats over black:



Sulley is a mostly turquoise and purple (Sulley the monster's colors!) multichrome.  It also shifts easily to a rosy orange color.  Gold is visible at extreme angles and sometimes you can see a bright green flash as well.


Here is a picture of my nail underwater so you can see all the colors in Sulley:

It's got so many colors and is such a shifty multichrome.  I couldn't bring myself to take it off and wore it for 4 days until if finally chipped.

After that color explosion, I chose to wear a calmer polish-Butter London's Victoriana.  Victoriana is my favorite Butter London and one of my standard go-to colors.


Victoriana is a grayish-turquoise with a very strong silver shimmer running through it.  It is nearly a 1-coater!  It goes on so smoothly and looks good with any outfit.  I just love this one.  However, it chipped pretty badly within the first day.  I've never had that problem with this polish before.  I've recently switched base-coats, so that may be what caused the chipping.

Finally, my Christmas manicure was KBShimmer Carpe Denim from the recent fall collection.


Carpe Denium is a navy blue jelly loaded with small holographic silver glitters.  Although packed with glitter, they are spread apart on the nail, giving it a sparkly night sky effect.  This is gorgeous!  It's evident that it is blue in all lighting, yet it is super dark which sets apart the holo glitter well.  This is opaque in 2 coats.

And that's what I wore the week of Christmas.  What polish did you festively rock for the holidays?  I'd  love to hear.
