HARE Holiday Hoopla + Gold Accent

As you all know, I love HARE Polish. Since I'm in England, I decided to only bring versatile colors with me, and thus only one HARE Polish came across the pond with me. Holiday Hoopla is the only glitter topper from HARE that I had at the time, so I had to bring it with me! And I keep reaching for it.

I've been wearing a lot of red and gold on my nails lately. I thought Holiday Hoopla would look good over an off white, so that's what I decided to do. I used 3 coats of Illamasqua Load then topped it with just one coat of Holiday Hoopla.

Yum, glitter.

I also added an accent nail of OPI Goldeneye. I've been reaching for that a lot, too! It's such a lovely gold.

This manicure was simple, but I like it. HARE never disappoints!

Loaded Dots

Today, I have my very first Illamasqua polish! They had a bunch of polishes on sale for only 5 pounds. I only picked one out, and I decided to go with one that I'd heard other bloggers rave about: Load, an off white creme (Illamasqua really likes pushing the envelope with their names).

Load applied very well, and it was even in two coats. Of course, plain nails just seemed a little too tame for me, so I added some dots. The dark blue is China Glaze First Mate, the gray blue is China Glaze Sea Spray, and the gold is ORLY Rage.

Simple, but quite pretty if you ask me!
