I think I hit a record wearing that "Bernina Red" 'Long Shot' for a straight 4 weeks. I wanted to enjoy it while my nails were all looking good but now it's time for a change. I picked up this classy OPI shade, Press * For Silver, after my friend chose it for her pedicure and I loved how it looked. It looks gold in the photo but it's actually a mauve-y silver i.r.l! Isn't it funny how different light can make a polish look completely different!?
I always love metallics and this looks like a champagne sparkle on my nails. I'm sure it will prove to be long-lasting because of the finish and I did use my Revlon Gel top coat. I am curious how it will work with regular nail polish. I have been stitching away on a Christmas present project (which I will share after it has been gifted!) and I'm loving how my manicure looks as I hold the fabric under the needle. It's almost distracting and a few of my seams are off as I am mesmerized by having my nails look decent again!
Other than sewing and wrapping, I haven't had time for much else. My regular holiday baking is way behind schedule but I did just manage a batch of mincemeat tarts for the hubby (his favourite). It will be a sad Christmas without my mum and I was very melancholy yesterday as I always gave her some of those first tarts from the oven (her favourite too!).
I can't believe how fast Christmas is coming this year. Next week I will have to get in the kitchen and started preparing all those lovely treats. Please feel free to check out these recipes for my tried-and-true 'classics'!
