I know I am late this year - but Christmas is so big by now, I can't stand it. So I decided now that I finally had some time to make some winter nails. I went the most discreet way possible - I will create a few looks for the season but they won't be too obvious since all our social media is current flooded with a bunch of classic holiday looks.

This is the headliner of this look L.O.V. Olive Obsession and when it was time to take a nice bottle picture of it, it went super shy on me. Somehow it didn't want to look pretty for me, but the swatch pictures below represent the shade perfectly.

Here, you can see it in all its glory. It is the classic army - olive green. The formula is perfect and very easy to apply. It reached full opacity in 2 coats and the gloss on this guy is amazing. The best part of it all is that it doesn't look like a festive color at all. *CHALLENGE ACCEPTED*

I just layered a bunch of stamps that look like foliage in different green shades. It all looks like a nice little holly wreath. At the end, I applied a bunch of pearls and stars, so it looks like the classic Xmas decorations that are usually on wreaths. I sealed it in with gel top coat.

WHAT I USED:
For this manicure, I used L.O.V. Olive Obsession as base.
The stamps are made with BPS Dark and Light Green stamping polishes.
The stamps are made with BM-XL472 stamping plate.
