The Festive Nail Favourites

We all know it’s not quite Christmas without a festive nail, that bit’s pretty straight forward. But choosing which polish? Not so straight forward. At the moment I’m currently trying to choose between three of my favourite festive polishes, I’m rubbish when it comes to deciding so hopefully the decision will be made before it hits midnight. But if in doubt, a snapchat to my friends should help me make my mind up. Below are the polishes that made the Christmas cut…

The Party Red: No joke, it’s actually called “Party Red”, perfect for the festive season. A beautiful deep red that’s bright enough to be festive, but the slightly darker tone gives it a more sophisticated edge.

The Pinky Red: (Barry M “Raspberry”) One of my all time favourite polishes that I purchased back in the day when Barry M was a luxury purchase. If you don’t like reds then this is a great alternative and, as with all Barry M polishes, the formula works really well on my nails and lasts for a good 4 days without chipping.

The Glitter Polish: A berry toned glitter from Essie’s last Christmas collection (don’t panic, there’s a very similar one in this years mini set), I always forget how much I love this one until I apply it. Yes, it’s a pain to get off, but that also means it’s going nowhere. Every cloud…

The Nude Christmas Nail: For those of you who prefer a more neutral nail all year round, but want something with a bit of festive cheer: Orly’s “VIP” nail polish. I loveeee.

What are you wearing on your nails this Christmas?

    I have become obsessed with Lancome Vernis in Love in the color 154M Miss Coquelicot – True red. Check out my post for what it looks like: http://boardingtogether.blogspot.com/2013/12/happy-monday-outfit-of-day.html

    Lovely nail polishes, I picked up Essie Chocolate Cakes which is a beautiful burgundy shade, which I will be wearing this christmas topped with OPI Pirouette my whistle. Really want to get my hands on that Orly shade, never seen a polish quite like it!
    Hope you've had a great Christmas Eve Eve!

    Orly's VIP is so pretty! It's hard for me to find Orly polishes where I live though. Such a shame!
