We all know just how much I love the color pink — see this post for proof. And when I got together with my friend Lexi awhile back for a little nail-painting fun, which color did I choose? Pink, naturally. But the closer we get to the holidays, the more I’m seeing bright, sparkly nails — think glittery golds, blues and reds like those from Essie’s latest collection. I find these bold, fun colors really inspiring and the perfect way to add some calm to holiday stress. So, in an effort not to be out-sparkled (Is that even a word??), here are a few of my faves…
Well, friends, what do you think? Are you a fan of glitter nails for the holidays? Will you be trying it this year? xoxo
P.S. In case you want to go the less-involved route, these real nail strips look great! 🙂

Hi Melissa!
I REALLY like the gold and xmas-color ones. I'm so lazy when it comes to painting my nails, but my room mate has hers pristine at all times. I'll let her do it. 😛
Thanks for the ideas!
