Hello Monday everyone!! How was your first Monday back to work after a looooooong, food-filled weekend? Haha. :P On the bright side, we are now in December, the last month of 2014 already. 20 days until it is officially Winter and 24 days away from Christmas. It's all happening so fast it feels so surreal.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, it was one heck of a weekend for me. Shopping, dinners, gatherings, everything threw my sleeping cycle out of whack and I could not sleep for the life of me last night. I literally laid there wide eyed, staring at my ceiling then as I drift to sleep, I somehow jerk up and cannot fall asleep again. That, mixed with tossing and turn and the lack of getting comfortable. I probably slept no more than two hours combined so needless to say, I am running on no sleep and zero patience. Imma further tire myself out by killing myself working out. Hopefully that's enough to make me just pass out tonight.
Anyways, it's Monday so y'all already know what day it is!! Yep, time to switch them manicures up! It was one heck of a task to accomplished, I've realized if you are as dead tired as I was. Since it is December, I felt festive and wanted red talons. I ordered a bunch of Sephora by OPI nail colors from Hautelook on several occasions and I have yet to even use all of the shades. Amongst the shades was a deep, cool-tone red called Mr. Right Now which caught my eyes when I was going through the nail colors. And that is what I used today. :)

Sally Hansen Diamond Strength Diamond Shine Base & Top Coat
In person, the shade is a cool-tone red shade but from these pictures, they appear to be a warm red. Either way, the shade is super gorgeous, wouldn't you say so? I figured having red on all ten fingers might be too boring so I used a gold for my accent fingers.
Both shades required two coats to appear even and streak free. As always, I did two thin coats, allowing each coat to fully dry before applying another, which did not take long at all, maybe 10 minutes tops.
After my nails were all beautifully applied, it still looked kinda plain so I dipped a toothpick into Keep Me On My Mistletoes and created a free-hand bow on my thumb. I should have stopped there but I went a step further and created several red bows on my gold accent nail.
I did not apply any top coat to these nail colors. The shine you see is all Sephora by OPI nail color's shine.
Thank you for visiting and thanks for reading. Please come back soon!!
