It's been 23 days since I posted :(. Epic Fail.
They say the guide to successful change is to set a goal and then go public. So I'm setting a goal today, and I'm going public so ya'll can hold me accountable. I will post every day in January. I have so many untrieds no, changing my mani everyday will be necessary just to get caught up. Plus I really need to start making an effort to take better care of my nails and cuticles; I've really fallen off the band wagon!
So what better way to usher out 2011 by sharing with you my 1st Christmas mani, which I wore a few weeks ago in NYC for SantaCon. For those of you that don't know what SantaCon in, thousands (I think) of people dress up as Santa and parade around NYC to different meeting points. I decided this year to go as a Christmas Tree, complete with lights. The costume was particularly a big hit once it got darker out and lots of children said "She looks like a Christmas Tree!", which led us to promptly give out my candy cane decorations. We had a ball, and my manicure was just the icing on the cake.

For this manicure, I started off with butter LONDON's British Racing Green, which Courtney reviewed here. I'd have to say, Courtney did a great job showcasing this polish. Its a beautiful forest green with shimmer. I was really really happy with this polish, especially since it's been sitting in my untrieds since St. Patrick's Day! I also thought it made a really stellar backdrop for China Glaze's Party Hearty, which Courtney just wore as well. And while you may feel the need to skip on a $14 bottle of green polish when there are so many others out there, skipping out on Party Hearty would be very sad indeed! Like Courtney mentioned, while it is discontinued, you can still find it. And I urge you to look :)!

I'm a big fan of this. I think British Racing Green is just the right shade for this combo. I do like it better than Courtney's swatch of it over China Glaze's Jolly Holly. British Racing Green can be bought at Ulta or off the butter LONDON website. Party Hearty will take more work - heed Courtney's advice and snag this one off of Ebay!
great combo
