Cherry Christmas!

Yesterday was the first day of my planned twoish weeks off from work! I hope many of you also have the chance to take time off from work and breath a little.

The manicure I'm showing today is both part of Nail Art Sunday where the theme is wishlist and is my third dotticure for the Nail Challenge Collaborative.

As for my wishlist, I usually wish for a few things that I for one or another reason have not bought for myself. Lately I would rarely wish for polish, I feel like it makes more sense for me to buy it for myself rather than explicitly asking my family to visit some bigcartel or etsy shop for me. Nothing too exciting is on my list this year and I primarily want to have a good time enjoying the holidays. I hope my manicure in some way can convey that ^-^. I wanted to do cherries and found a lovely manicure by Top Coat It which I used as my inspiration.

My base polish is Pahlish An Caisteal Ruadh, I'm wearing three coats of it for maximum depth and colour. Pahlish has really grown to be one of my favourite brands (if not the favourite brand) this year. I love almost everything Shannon releases, the combination of shimmer and almost-glitter in a jelly base is really a recipe for success. The only thing I don't like is the speed at which her shop updates! Why is the summer and fall collections are already retired? For an international buyer who pay more for shipping than for the polish itself, being able to order my favourites of the last couple of collections would be preferable.

Polishes used: Pahlish An Caisteal Ruadh, China Glaze Cranberry Splash, Handy stamping polish in Tangerine, Handy stamping polish in Intensity and white acrylic paint. (I did not stamp with the stamping polishes, just used them for their great opacity!)
