The festive red




We all love a good red nail polish don't we? Classy, elegant and perfect for the holiday season. So just on time for Christmas day, I've gave my nails some needed 'TLC by swiping on a coat of glamorous red.


      The tools and steps
  • Nail clippers would be a good start. Make them the length that you like, I personally don't like mine to long but not to short to either.
  • So now we have the correct length, we now need the correct shape! Again this is totally up to your preference, for me I take my nail file and make my nails slightly rounded.
  • Length? check✓ Shape? check✓  All we need now is the pop of colour. I first use my 'Sally Hansen double duty base and top coat' to create a base for my nails, this will prevent any staining and will help make the polish last a little longer.
  • Next, its in with the red. I opted for my Rimmel London '327 heart on fire' polish. I think personally this is the classic red, not overly bright, but not to berry either. Perfect. I not only like the colour, but also the brush applicator, its bigger than a standard nail polish brush for that one swipe application!
  • Lastly, I go in with a top coat to make your nails really shine, again I use my Sally Hansen polish.


And there we have it! Perfect red nails for a festive christmas day. To really make your 'red effect' match your freshly painted nails with a beaming red lippy, this will really make your outfit pop!

I'll posting again after christmas, so until then have a lovely day with your family and friends and make sure that you leave yourself room for that big christmas day feast.

Sincerely, Nicole
