My Favourite Winter Nail Polishes 2014

 Since Christmas is just around the corner, I wanted to share with you my HG wintery nail polish shades! If you don't know already I absolutely love dark reds and in general vampy shades on my nails, these are the shades that I tend to reach for again and again when it's winter. Unfortunately some of these shades were limited edition and very hard to find anymore, but I'm sure that you can find similar ones anywhere, from drugstore to salon brands.
Essie Lacy Not Racy
Essie is my favourite brand when it comes to red nail polishes, they know what they're doing! Lacy Not Racy is such a classic red, a vampy-deep red shade with a jelly finish, perfect for those who want their red nails look super glossy, like me.

Essie Wicked
One of Essie's most popular shade, a dark burgundy wine color that it almost look black. This one has also a very glossy finish, something that Essie is known for. If you love vampy shades then this one should definitely be in your collection.
Loreal Collection Exclusive Laetitia
From all the reds in the Loreal's Collection Exclusive Pure Reds this one is by far my favourite! Laetitia is a dark/vampy berry red shade with very fine glitters. You don't find often these kind of shades in the drugstore, I'm happy that Loreal makes one.

China Glaze Ruby Pumps
I saved the festive one for last since it's Christmas in just two days. Ruby Pumps is such a cult shade, a sparkly red with red microglitter and jelly finish, in my opinion the perfect red for Christmas time! Just a hint: in the sunlight it looks super sparkly!


Which are your favourite colors for winter/Christmas?

 
I hope you have a wonderful Christmas and we will talk again in the New Year!

Essie Winter Collection 2012



Christmas is on the way,even though the weather here is not even fall appropriate, and the winter and holiday nail collections are already out! Essie's Winter collection contains unique and I could say some unexpected shades for a winter collection. Beautiful reds, blues, silver and glitters are in the spotlight for this holiday season.


Beyond Cozy - a decadent silvery gold glitter



Butter Please - an indulgent bright blue


Leading Lady - a supreme deep red with glitter


She’s Pampered - an indulgent red


Snap Happy -  a cheerful red orange



Where’s My Chauffer
- an opulent turquoise




I have to say that Leading Lady is the one I'm most excited for! It looks so pretty and glittery, it reminds me of China Glaze's Ruby Pumps but super glittery, in my opinion perfect for the holiday season! Beyond Cozy, I love this name, also is in my wishlist, because a gold glitter nail polish is a must have for the Christmas. Where’s My Chauffer is also a very pretty and unique shade for the winter, it reminds me of crispy mints!

Which colors are going to be your picks for this holiday season?
