So everyone is doing Christmas lights on their nails so it only makes sense that I decorate my nails with Christmas lights as well. But I wanted to use thread for the best/precise Christmas lighting string. Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh lawdy lawdy lawdy I completely underestimated it. I thought it would be easy.. But nooooooooooo no no no it was not. Well, it wasn't too difficult. And when I painted my dominant hand, I was able to get a close enough comparison that I'm very proud of.
To start off, I used OPI's 'Don't Pretzel My Buttons' as a base for the glitter because:
- Glitter sucks to take off by itself.
- I was afraid the glitter wouldn't be strong enough to cover the nail by itself.
Oh! Also, both of my thumbs are broken and I'm in a terrible state of denial. I refuse to accept the fact that my nails are broken.
What I used for this mani:
- China Glaze Strong Adhesion Base Coat
- OPI 'Don't Pretzel My Buttons'
- China Glaze 'I'm Not Lion'
- Stripe Rite: Red, Green, Blue, Yellow, Black, Metallic-ish White, White
- Sally Hansen (Gold striper that I don't remember the name of and am too lazy to check)
- Sephora 'It's Real 18k Gold'
- Black thread
- Red jewels
- Seche` Vite
