The theme for today is Winter Colours and I have gone for a simple glitter gradient. The base is two coats of Sinful Colors Exotic Green, topped with a single coat of Color Club Fly With Me (I thought it lacked a little depth on its own, so layering it over the darker green gave it a bit more substance!). I then added a glitter gradient with China Glaze Electrify (which added the red and gold all in one go!) and finished with Seche Vite.
This is a colour combination that you can only get away with at this time of year, and even then I'm probably pushing my luck at least a little! But I got to use my beloved Electrify so I'll live with it :)
The next prompt in this Xmas challenge is for a mani celebrating "Christmas traditions". I think the hardest thing is going to be finding one that hasn't been covered in one of the other prompts!

They actually did, which surprised me as I was not at all sure about the colours together! I didn't enjoy removing all that glitter though... :/
