Belated Top Five Favorite Friday: Holiday Nails!

Hi All -

So sorry for the belated Top Five Fav Friday Post! - Pls enjoy from our gal Emma! :)

Happy Friday beauties!  Have an upcoming holiday party on the books?  Read on for a fun way to accessorize and glam up your outfit on the cheap.

Nails are the perfect accessory– 100% customizable and affordable bling.  Here are five of my favorite glitter infused polishes.  The perfect addition to any holiday affair.

1.  OPI Mad As A Hatter This one wins the prize for party in a bottle, as it reminds me of New Years and confetti!  I’d pair this with a nice little black dress.  These nails are always a conversation piece at any gathering, so get ready to make friends.

2.  Zoya Cheryl I adore this subtle shimmery brown– it combines the best of both worlds by exuding pure chic while remaining office appropriate.  This red toned brown has fine particles of copper and brown shimmer throughout.  I would pair this color with anything from dark jeans and a turtleneck to a gold sequined mini with leopard flats.  Gorgeous!

3.  OPI Crimson Carol You really can’t go wrong with a glittery cherry red in the winter.  This color was released as part of OPI’s holiday collection last year, and is easily dupable.  Crimson Carol has a mix of gold and red glitter.  Orly, China Glaze, and Sephora by OPI all have similar options this season, so take your pick!  Rock this one when you have candy canes on the brain and a red cup from Starbucks in hand.

4.  Chanel Illusion D’Or This one is an all time favorite.  Worn alone, Illusion D’Or is a somewhat sheer soft gold with flecks of gold glitter and circular blue translucent confetti discs.  Layer over black for a stunning multidimensional look.  You can still snag this at Chanel.com, but I also spied a Sephora by OPI sister color.  Looks Like Rain Dear (page 19 in the holiday catalog) appears to have a similar mix of glitter particulate.  Sephora’s version is far more opaque, but will certainly provide a similar effect to layering Illusion D’Or over a gold base.

 

5.  OPI Visions of Sugarplum This shimmering eggplant purple has flecks of bright purple glitter that reflect lilac under direct light.  I especially love the formula of this polish, it is smooth and rich.  I’d pair this with a bright jewel toned top or dress.

Which of these is your favorite?  Let me know in the comments below!
