Santa-red

We love this shade of red called, "Ring in the Bling", from the 2017 winter collection by Essie. You can't go wrong with a classic red nail, though we love how this one seems to have a satin finish.

Red and gold

Red and gold are a holiday colour pairing that you can't go wrong with. A simple way to spice up your manicure is to have an accent nail—and metallic is always a good idea.

Spark it up

This beige-gold polish is called Pixie Dust, and includes just the right amount of glitter for anyone who is feeling festive, but would rather stay minimalist with their polish choice.

Extra, extra

For someone who is looking for their manicure to make an impact, we propose this glitter ombre manicure. This mani looks really detailed with the layering of different sizes of gold glitter, but you can achieve it with a few select glitter polishes and some patience. The key to this look is a good top coat.
