I thought it would be a great idea to try my nail polish stamps with gel nails. Guess what? It doesn’t work. Like, not at all. It was late at night and I had to do something! I needed easy holiday nails now! I pulled up an old standby, “ruby pumps” by China Glaze. WIth each brush stroke a memory filled my head. How is it I have so many memories with this color? I started to recount all these memories and I realized I’ve had this color for 25 years. 25 freaking years! Unlike other colors, this one is a deep and sparkly red and perfect for the holidays. I tended to wear it for parties and special holidays events. This wasn’t a color for just any day. I guess that’s why I can look back to so many different times I wore this color. I always wore it for something special. And now “ruby pumps” has 25 years of special memories attached to it.

Marry Christmas to all and to all a good night. I wanted to go over the top this year for my Christmas nails. I chose a black base and used a makeup sponge to blot intense glitter on the top and bottom of the nails. B helped me decide whether top of the nail should be red or green, and I think he made a good choice. However, after the manicure was finished, he pointed out that my nails look like strawberries! Now that’s all I can see! It took a few days for me to realize thatt it’s not real strawberries they look like, but the strawberry candies that you get in the sausage and cheese gift sets from Hillshire Farms at the mall. Needless to say, I love this holiday manicure, and I got a lot of compliments for it. May your holiday be filled with sparkle!
