So here are my nails for Chinese New Year - yes long time ago I know. It just sank to the bottom of a lot of draft posts so I'm finishing this up and publishing it now, like 3 months after CNY.
Anyway, somehow, my boyfriend, again, managed to come up with this idea of cool red against warm red for a nail colour combo. Nails are cut to inside-my-comfort-zone short because I need to enjoy cracking and eating the traditional red melon seeds 紅瓜子 (google images for red melon seeds if desired).

What I used:
- Base and Top coat - forgotten which ones
- Warm Red - OPI HLA13 Meet n Jingle (from some holiday collection I think)
- Cool Red - OPI NL E22 Kinky In Helsinki (from the 2009 Colorcopia collection (link to scrangie)- which I have all the 12 re-released best-sellers; this particular Helsinki colour is from 2002 European collection)
Tell me, do you think this looks too queer, or just weird enough to be categorised as 'interesting'?
Cheers,
Jacq
