Happy New Year with bling nails

Hello everyone ^_^/

usually my first post if the month is a nail art inspiration post but as this is the first post of the New Year I wanted to start a bit differently (the nail inspiration post will be up in a couple of days). Let me start off by wishing you all a Happy New Year. May 2013 be a year full of happiness, joy, health and everything you desire. 2013 is the year of the snake so I wanted my nails to have a snake like theme. I looked for nail polishes that would give my nails a scale effect in red and gold colours to bring good luck for the New Year.
I ended up using Change and Ruby Red Ruby by Lynnderella.

Here is what I used. All these lovely nail polishes  (including the Lynnderellas) were Christmas gifts from my dear friend 'Chelle from Cosmetic Cupcake.

This holiday season has been full of fun and joyous meetings as friends from far away came to visit.

We had lots of epic food together.

We welcomed the New Year together and made New Year's resolutions. Concerning my blog, my resolutions are a. to post more and b. to introduce a variety of new topics ^_^

We also caught the first sunsets of the year together.

How did you spend your holidays dear readers? Did you make any New Year's resolutions?

p.s. have you entered my Facebook only giveaway yet? If your answer is no, hurry to my facebook page, it is open until January 10.

Gold and black for James Bond

Hello everyone ^_^/

recently darling and me went to see Skyfall, so I wanted to make James Bond themed nails. As my nails are quite short lately, I decided to go for a black and gold glitter gradation. Black because in my opinion it's Bond's colour and gold because my favourite James Bond movie is Goldfinger.

I used Gold Old Buffy from the Essence Vampire's Love trend edition which is a black nail polish full of gold micro glitter and Make it Golden from the Essence colour & go series which is full of gold glitter of every shape and size.

I did an accent finger full of gold glitter and the gradation effect on the rest of my nails. Sealed everything with Seche Vite and I was good to go.

What I really loved about Make it Golden was that it was very easy to apply. Usually glitter nail polishes are troublesome as the glitter particles have to be moved around with the brush or an orange stick for full coverage. But this was not an issue in this case.

I seldom wear gold on my nails but I really liked this look. I got many compliments about it too both in and outside of the cinema ^_^

What about you dear readers? Have you watched Skyfall? Did you do a matching manicure?
