So I probably should have put this post up a bit earlier, seeing as though the festive season is nearly over, but I think a red manicure still looks beautiful in the winter seasons, and I also feel a little more sophisticated wearing it.
Now on my perfect holiday duo. The Sally Hansen base coat and top coat has been a favourite of mine for years now. I initially bought it to make my nails a bit stronger as they kept flaking and breaking and I used this for a while just on its own as kind of like a treatment. Ever since I have started using it I have noticed a difference in the way my nails feel, they're not so ridged any more and definitely don't break as often.
Although I have only just got this Reiss nail varnish I have fallen head over heels for it and hope that it lasts until the end of 2016 so I can wear it again .
Do you have any recommendations for holiday nail colours?
See you tomorrow.

So instead of doing a whole post of what I got for Christmas I thought I would give you an in depth look at some of gifts. This way you can take a look at things in much greater detail and hopefully this will be a bit more informative.
The first gift that I am going to show you is the Reiss Nail Paint Collection AW15. I have to be honest I had never even seen that Reiss has started doing make up. But obvs they do, I don't know whether they will be stocking into beyond the Christmas period, so maybe you need to get your hands on it quick.
First off you have to admit that the packaging is to die for, I am a sucker for packaging and Reiss have definitely drawn me in with this white and gold number. There are four nail varnishes in the set: Nude Sahara, Mystic Grace (Grey), Bacall Red (Burgundy) and Forever Red. I have to say too that the bottles look beautiful too and will look lovely stood on my dressing table, well.... that's if I ever get rid of the box and I think I am right in saying that they are all full sized.
Now on to the colours as you can see from the swatches the nude is quite nude and I struggled to take a good photo of it, and I am yet to apply it on to the nails so I hope that it comes up a bit better. The red is definitely my favourite out of the set and surprisingly is the first true red that I have in my collection. I also can't wait to try out the grey colour I think it will look lovely on the nails. I also have to say that I think all of these colours are very sophisticated and I think I will be able to wear them all and for them to match my outfits.
Did you get any nail varnish for Christmas let me know.
See you tomorrow.
