Glitzy New Year - Milani Red Canvas, Nubar 2010, China Glaze Medallion + Nova + Strawberry Fields

Chinese New Year is coming up, and here's a mani I did last year to celebrate! I'll post something more recent up on Monday - it's just a little extra something for today.

I started with a base of Milani Red Canvas, a highly pigmented warm red shimmer, followed by a coat of Nubar 2010 flakie goodness. I then topped off the tips with a gold and holo glitter gradient of China Glaze Medallion.

The warm base brings out the orange tones in the flakies quite a bit. The flakes also help with creating a gradient with China Glaze Medallion which I layered up to three times towards the tips.

Ultra sparkle! These pics are old so the colours are a bit wonky unfortunately. =(

I also did a pink and silver version on my sister with China Glaze Strawberry Fields (a gorgeous cool pink jelly with gold shimmer) and Nova (silver and holo glitter).

That's it for today - I'll have another post up on Monday as usual!
