Holiday Glam - The Nail Polish Colours You Should Be Wearing this Holiday Season

Lovelies, I'm back from my mini-vacay with a new series for the holiday season. It's the perfect time to glam up your look and I will be sharing my tips and tricks for style, beauty, decor and recipes to help you have a fabulous holiday so get excited - this is gonna be fun!

Today's post is about nail polish colours and the holiday is the perfect time to break out the sparkle and the gem coloured polishes. Think rich reds, blues, greens and violets or top your favourite colour with a generous coat of glitter polish you have in your collection. To make it even cooler, go for a glitter ombre effect or glitter tips  or half moon cresecents. Basically, the possibilities are endless.

Here are some of the shades I will be reaching for this season:

Essie - Toggle to the Top

This colour reminds me of an ornament on a lit up Christmas tree at night. It sparkles and is girly but is also deep enough to be sophisticated. The added bonus to glitter nail polishes of course are that they take far longer to chip than other formulas so when you top with an excellent top coat like No Chips Ahead you can forget about chipping.

Again, this is a blue I could see in an ornament on the Christmas tree and looks fantastic when paired with silver or gold.

China Glaze - Emerald Sparkle

This is a pretty intense colour. If you are super festive then by all means go for it, it definitely screams Christmas and will be a fun colour to pair with gold midi rings and delicate bracelets.

NYX - Matte White

Winter White is a thing this year - no matter your nail length. You can pair this with glitter or even top with a holographic sheer coat like OPI Ski Slope Sweetie.

Textured Glitter - L'Oreal Color Riche in Sexy in Sequins

Textured polishes have been all the rave this year and the holiday season is no exception. L'Oreal has put out a more affordable, easier to apply version that will have everyone asking what colour you're wearing on your nails.

What colours are you loving for the season? Do you have any faves that you bring out year after year? Leave me a comment and let me know.

Till later dolls,

Top 5 Nail Colours for the Fall

I always look forward to sweater weather, or in the case of Jamaica, ' I get to wear sleeves' weather. The fall season brings a bit of edge to it with the darker richer nail colours that are trending for the season.

 Here are my top 5 picks for nail colours for the season, colours I've been itching to pair with the new fashion that comes with the slight change of the weather.

1. Emerald Shades : This year's pantone colour is Emerald. For fall, choose a more muted shade of emerald as this will go well with the moody shades of the season and gives an edgier feel to a colour that's been around all year. You can pick up your favourite Essie shades at the Beauty Spot on Brompton Road or here.

2. Deeper Reds : Reds are a year round favourite for me but as the place cools down, I find myself drawn to deeper, edgier shades. They're still classy but are a tad more modern than the classic reds that hollywood pin ups are famous for. The shade I have been reaching for is China Glaze's 'Merry Berry'. You can pick this up at the Fontana in the New Kingston Shopping Centre or here
