Holly Jolly

Glitzy gold and glimmering glitter pair up in this festive manicure, which features a free-handed, merry berry accent nail. And just in time for the holiday decorating, too. Today I tackle THE LIGHTING OF THE TREE, a once-12-hour ordeal I’ve since whittled down to a trim two hours/one and a half holiday movies. My Clark Griswold-esque bouts of Christmas decorating insanity are a story for another day, though, and possibly some professional therapy, and so I’ll focus on these festive nails instead!

Here I used one coat of Orly’s Tinsel, a polish I think looks like the bits of glitter and tree needles that carpet the space directly below a Christmas tree, over three coats of Orly’s glittery gold Bling, adding a wee holly berry accent nail for that certain festive flair. Pretty and pretty darn easy.
