It’s getting cold out there, ladies. Which means two things: 1) Find a warm body to snuggle with and 2) Time to switch your nails from pinks and corals to grays, browns, and holiday sparkles. Here are ten picks for your ten fingers.
1. Essie Leading Lady: This glittery, deep red screams holiday party. (And it was made to go with your black, satin clutch.) $8, available at drug stores and where Essie polishes are sold
2. L’oreal After Hours: A midnight blue hue that looks great by day but really shines when the stars come out. $5, available at drug stores/Target
3. Nails Inc. Jermyn Street: The original “greige,” this luxurious taupe shade is like a cozy, cashmere sweater for your nails. $11, online only
4. Deborah Lippmann Cleopatra in New York: Deb nailed it on the name. If Cleo herself were to walk around the Big Apple, she would stand out like this glitter-to-trump-all-glitter shade. $18, available at select Nordstrom and Neiman Marcus stores
5. OPI Tomorrow Never Dies (Skyfall collection): The James Bond of polishes: Sexy, mysterious, and attention-getting. $8, available at Ulta and where OPI is sold
6. Sephora by OPI Studs & Stilettos: Hands manicured in this metallic mahogany are meant to hold a mug of spiked cider whilst sitting in front of a fireplace. Ahhhh….$5, available at Sephora
7. OPI Nein! Nein! Nein! OK Fine! (Germany collection): Germany is badass. So is this gunmetal gray shade–a serious must-have for the season. $8, available at Ulta and where OPI is sold
8. Chanel Le Vernis Nail Colour in Sky Line: Channel your inner ice queen with this limited-edition, frosty hue. $30, available at department stores (Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus, Bloomingdales, Saks) where Chanel makeup is sold
9. Butter London Gobsmacked: A deep, charcoal gray glitter is gothy and glam and sparkles on through dark, winter days. $14, available at various locations
10. NARS Night Rider: If Sugarplum fairies danced in your head on your nails, it would look like this. $18, available at select department stores (Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus, Bloomingdales, Saks) and Sephora
And now, time to find the perfect pair of fingerless gloves…
