Hey guys! For Day 11 of 12 Nails Of Christmas, I really wanted to get a green heavy mani in here since it's a solidly traditional Christmas colour and I hadn't done one yet, so I decided to just really go for it. I feel like green polish is actually one of my favorites and can look really classy and modern, so I was excited to put this one together and wanted to do something that feels festive, but in a way that isn't right on the nose when it comes to Christmas.

For a closer look and to see how I got this look, keep reading!

I started out this mani with the middle finger. I started with two coats of a white gold metallic polish from TiVoli that I normally use for stamping because I wanted gold that wasn't too gold. Next, I added two coats of OPI's Metamorphically Speaking to add that look of texture and shine to the nail - I seriously love the OPI Metamorphosis polishes for that. To this nail, I added a coat of Essence The Gel Polish Top Coat to maintain the shine.

For the rest of my fingers, I applied two coats of Eclipse Nailwear Enamel in Fresh Green, which has been in my collection for years but hasn't gotten a lot of play because it's so leafy in tone. To add some interest, I decided to add a large dot of Sally Hansen Insta-Dri in Go For Gold to my first and pinkie fingers to sort of mimick studs there. Over that, I added a coat of Color Club Matte-ified Matte Top Coat, which adds some depth to the shade and gives that velvety finish.

For my accent nail, I really wanted to lean on my go to plaid nail art, but I wanted to switch it up a little. I reached for my much beloved 春の歌 - L010 Stamping Plate, of course. To make that change, I decided to apply the images so that the lines of the plaid were diagonal, which I think gives enough of a different vibe to the look that it feels different from the plaid in my Classic Red And Gold Plaid Nails from earlier in these 12 days. I started, as usual, with BornPrettyStore Black Stamping Polish for the thicker lines and then went in with Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Go For Gold for the skinnier lines. I, of course, finished this finger with another coat of matte top coat and voila!
