China Glaze Ruby Pumps and China Glaze Fairy Dust

Holiday nails are fun. Bright colors, lots of bling, and cheerful pops of color on my fingertips! I decided to go with a given in choosing China Glaze Ruby Pumps. This polish is a classic bright red given incredible depth and dimension by its tiny bright red glitter. I LOVE this polish; it's part of China Glaze's core, as it should be, so I use it liberally knowing that I'll never run out. I wear this polish throughout the year, but it's particularly festive around Christmas and Valentine's Day. To add an extra layer of sparkle (I can never get enough), I topped it with China Glaze's Fairy Dust - one of my favorite glitters. It's a subtle, yet noticeable, layer of tiny holographic glitter that takes any polish to the next level without being gaudy or totally obvious.

I didn't even think to take pictures of the process, but I did get some of the final result.

Indoor, flash. Here you can really see how jelly-ish the finish of this combo looks.

Christmas tree in the background! The tiny holo flecks look like lint here.

The holo becomes more visible as the picture becomes more blurry; however, this still doesn't do it justice. This is very sparkly and twinkly.

Still wearing this after several days, as is evidenced by the visible tip wear. However, I wanted to show you this because the sunshine really does give a pretty good representation of Ruby Pump's red. 

Trying to blur it up so you can see the holo; alas, I just can't seem to capture it's reflective, rainbowy awesomeness.

More tip wear, but another nice shot of the red's shade.

I really did enjoy this combination and got a TON of compliments on it. I think it's a blingy take on a classy look, but it's not so over the top that it couldn't be worn all year. Red and sparkles are always "in" to me. The sprinkling of Fairy Dust just gives a rainbowy twinkle to the already sparkly red of Ruby Pumps. Rainbows on my finger nails. I like it!
