This was my Christmas manicure :) I planned on doing something more festive but never got around to it! Masquerade Belle is a pretty vampy color. I had a little bit of trouble with application- but I always do with Essie. The brush is so thin and tiny that I have trouble getting a smooth gap (and I've yet to find a clean up method I like). And these colors never capture well, it doesn't look pretty and shiny like in real life but instead looks dull and scratched.
