Dangerous Tiles // Crimson & Gold Nail Art

A quick look that came about the other day when I was swatching my most recent Ciaté purchases. I just love the combination of dark red and gold and knew that these two would go perfectly together. Tell me this doesn't look like an amazing design for christmas parties. I might do my nails like this christmas eve.

Twinkled T polishes just make stamping so easy. I really hope they have another 30% off sale for Black Friday this year as I've been saving so I can purchase some more polishes from them. Shipping is $17 so I've been waiting for a year! I might pick up another black as I'm running low.

I also forgot to use some liquid latex when doing this and ended up with gold sparkles all round my nails which is annoying for photos but it had washed off completely by the end of the following day. This look took about 10 minutes though so it's super quick and easy. Below is a photo in some harsher lighting; it really helps to bring out the crimson in the polish, otherwise it almost looks black.

Polishes/Tools used:

- Ciaté Gelology // Dangerous Affair (red)

- Twinkled T // Liquid Gold

- MoYou London Stamping Plates // Tuttu Frutti 06

Crimson Christmas // Christmas Party Nail Design

I'm back with a new Christmas design...finally! Just one more assignment to go and then I can get on putting up some posts which got put aside. This look was completely accidental and came about whilst I swatching shades from the Ciaté advent calendar. Days 8-14 will be up in the next few days! 

Anyway, in the calendar Dangerous Affair is a day before Antique Brooch but I couldn't help but think "damn they look good together" whilst they were sat on my desk. Before I took off Dangerous Affair I decided to add a coat of Antique Brooch to my middle finger and thus this look was suddenly born in my mind. I knew instantly I had to do this mani.

It turned out better than I could of hoped for. The pattern is the new MoYou Crystal 03 plate and this design is just perfect for Christmas parties, New Year or a fancy event. I can't stop staring at my nails; send help.

I'm wearing two coats of Dangerous Affair, followed by two coats of Antique Brooch and used a gold Born Pretty Stamping polish for the detail.
