New Year's mani with a delay

Hi! 

Happy New Year to all of you!
I didn't have my laptop with me for these holidays because I wanted to spend some time with my family, without any distractions, that's why there's only been one mani on the blog in these past weeks.

But now I'm back and my camera holds some manis I wore those days and I'll be posting more regularly...

So let's start!

First I'm showing you my New Year's mani. I wanted to do something different, not just tons of glitter.
As a base I used wonderful polish from Avon called Violetta Sparkle. It's violet-purple polish with tiny golden flecks that add the dressy feeling neccesary for New Year's Celebration.

I couldn't capture the true beauty of this polish because my lousy camera refuses to take photos of purple-ish polishes... Imagine it a bit lighter and the golden flecks glowing like crazy.

I stamped a peacock with a Bundle Monster plate (I don't know the number but it's the old bundle) and then I added some glitter on a peacock's tail.

I hope you all had a good party. I was with my friend in an apartment and we mixed some coctails and danced untill dawn. I didn't make resolutions (like don't buy polishes you don't need, right!) because I don't regret anything I did in 2011.

Day 14. Flowers

Base polish: Avon Deluxe Chocolate
Stamping polish: Sally Hansen Opal Chrome

I had so many beautiful ideas for flower mani, but these cold autumn days made me change my mind and choose this brown base polish instead.
Flowers are usually connected with pastel and bright colors. But who could resist to this nice brown color with gold shimmer? Not me!

I just loooove brown polishes, too bad they're so unpopular. I'm still searching for a decent replacement for OPI's Holiday Glow. Does any of you, dear readers have any idea of some cool brown polish you'd like to recommend to me?

Please ignore the 'tipwear', it's just those damn fast dry Top Coats... In this case, it's Poshe, but all of them just pull your polish off the tip of the nail. It annoys me so much that I don't use them anymore. I'd rather have my hands in the air for two hours than have nails like this. It looks as my mani is a week old, when, in fact it's just few hours 'old'!
:Frustrated:
