Simple and Satisfying

Is anyone finding it difficult to transition out of all the Christmas festivities?  As exhausting as they are every year, I find such a let-down when I'm putting up all the brightly colored lights and holographic tinsel.

Sigh.

I know I'll gripe about it next year, so let's move on.  I was looking for something that would look pretty and not be too much work, so I worked back to an old favorite.

Essie Go Overboard, a gorgeous deep teal creme polish, topped with Essie A Cut Above, which the site lists as pink, but I think of as a copper-y multi sized glitter.

Go Overboard is a really great single coverage shade.  A Cut Above spreads out really well, but I did two coats just to get more coverage, which really popped over the teal.

In an effort to get a few more days out of it, I thought I'd see how it looked with a matte topcoat.  Win!

The matte lightens up the background, and gives the glitter a mirror-like shine.  Flawless.
