My First Christmas Manicure

I decided to do my first Christmas manicure last night, and although it's not very original I just had to do it.

This time last year, a co-worker took me to get a mani/pedi for my birthday. At the time, I knew NOTHING of nail art or nail polish since I didn't start until early this year. Well, I wanted something festive and when the lady asked me what I wanted I said "candy cane french tip". Needless to say she looked at me with the strangest, most confused look. I repeated and told her, "diagonal white stripes, like candy canes." She continues to look at me and says, "Zebra?". Me: "No, candy canes, just some stripes like this" as I make a diagonal gesture on my nails. She said ok and I walked out of there with some funky horizontal nails :/

Anyway, because of that I wanted to make what I wanted at that time and here it is!

 I started off with Milani's Ready to Wear Red, then 1 coat of China Glaze's Ring In The Red, used my white striper polish for the stripes, and finished off the silver line with China Glaze's Cheers To You.

And just in case you'd like to watch, here's the tutorial video :)
