OPI Katy Perry and China Glaze Crackle

Yes yes, like everyone else, I got my grubby little hands on polishes from the OPI Katy Perry collection and also the China Glaze Crackle collection! Thanks to Giang for being the best nail polish enabler and keeping us junkies up-t0-date with releases at Imperial Beauty! =)

Holiday Red Nails in Dear Santa and Ruby Pumps

I have a secret...I hardly paint my nails, haha, and also...I have old lady hands. =( They're genetic, damn it! Also, it's hardly a secret if you know me in real life, haha. Plus even though I live in Southern California, the winter mornings and nights have been cold and dry (around 40 degrees, I know that's prob warm to you East Coast and Mid-West gals, but my genes are meant for the humid tropics!). Anyways...I've been seeing all your blogs and tweets on holiday collections, and gave in to the gorgeous glittery-ness, hoping to feel more Christmas spirit. =)

I apologize in advance for making you look at my not-so-cute hands and also for the messy application.

First up...Dear Santa from the OPI Holiday Wishes 2009 Collection
