Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving to all my American readers!  I hope you've either had your fill of turkey and mashed potatoes and dinner rolls or you're smelling the pies cooking or something like that!  Today is a great day to tell people you love and appreciate them and how thankful you are that they are in your lives - I am thankful for every single one of you!

I'm still debating on what color to paint my nails but I just went back to nubbins after one break and one jammed finger (ow), but this was from a couple of days ago when I was testing some water marbling.  I did not use a base color but should have.  This is China Glaze Chocodisiac, marbled with China Glaze Code Orange.  Enjoy!

Nicole by OPI Bring On The Tinsel

Remember this promo picture of Nicole by OPI Bring On The Tinsel from the Holiday Magic Winter 2010 Collection?  Well, I received this color in the mail, and it's not a brown gold glitter.  Surprise!
Quite different, eh?  I think of tinsel being a goldish brown with some hint of green and red (thanks Mom), but this is more of a blue tinted silver.  It's actually made up of tiny red, blue, green, silver and gold glitter in a clear base.


Here's a simple coat test - and oh yes, it was super hard to remove (being a glitter and all), but the formula was fine - no problem there.
If worn alone, I'd go with 3 coats but if worn with a base color underneath, 2 coats will do.


I used a base coat of OPI Natural Nail Base and a top coat of OPI Top Coat.  SUN!
You can really see the blue and green pushing through.


Shade!
Oh Tinsel - I do love you.  Maybe this year I'll show y'all my awesome (and CHEAP) way to make a table top Christmas tree using wire hangers, tinsel, and Christmas lights ^_^.


Nicole by OPI is available beginning at ULTA, Meijer, Harmon, HEB, Sears, Wal-Mart and more for around $8 a bottle.  For more information, visit their websitefollow Nicole by OPI on Twitter or become a Facebook fan.
