I love a good manicure, and since there's no better time to fancy-up those fingertips than the holidays, here are four lovely lacquer looks to try... And if all else fails, you can always give this glitzed-up half moon mani a whirl. So throw on your favourite holiday movie (here's a great round-up of what to watch) and get your polish on. xx

Super inspired by these two backstage beauty shots from Valentino and L�onard. Loving the juxtaposition of the nude nail polish with the stacked dark metal rings, as well as the mix of the black manicure with delicate simple rings. I have been a nude nail addict lately, but am thinking about giving black nails a try again- it's always been hard for me to switch to a darker color.

Currently crushing on Covergirl's how-to videos featuring French singer and actress, Soko. Her song I'll Kill Her has been one of my favorites ever since college, so I was happy to see her featured- loving her newly bleached hair!
Covergirl used their new Flamed Out collection to give Soko four different beauty looks- the sleek glossy eye and the bold lip above, plus a smoky eye and a no-make up look. I can't decide which I like the most, they are all styled so great as well. Which look is your favorite?

For the sake of nostalgia, I decided to put my feelings about press-on nails aside (junior high flashbacks, anyone?) just long enough to test out L'Oreal's Colour Riche Press-On Nails in 'Midnight French.' The finish caught my eye immediately (cute, right?), and it reminded me of this manicure I never quite was able to replicate. Fun finger effects aside, here's the low down on the kit:
The nails were quite easy to apply, but since they skewed a little larger, it was hard to find matches for some of my nails. And even though I followed the directions to a t, one fell off mere hours later. All in all, they felt fake and frumpy, and my stance on press-ons has forever been reaffirmed � no matter how cute the finish. xx

Who's ready for the easiest DIY mani ever? I've done the whole ikat nail wrap thing in the past, but I never realized just how easy (and inexpensive) it is to recreate the look yourself. It's literally as easy as one-two-three!
Just paint your nails a bold base colour (like red!), and once that dries, make narrow, asymmetrical shapes in white. Using a small brush, paint your third colour (blue anyone?) in the center of the white shapes, finishing it off with a top coat... What a cinch!
Thanks for reading friends, and if you have any fun, easy nail DIYs of your own, I'm all ears! xx

Always down for a good nail wrap, I jumped at the chance to try Essie's studded nail wraps when I came across them a few weeks ago and was pleasantly surprised with the result. Not only did they last forever and bring new life to a classic red mani, but they got compliments every which way I turned. Not to sound too definitive or anything, but I would go so far as to dub the studded mani (in wrap form or otherwise) the top nail trend of the season... But I'm dramatic like that.
Soooo, what's your favourite nail trend this season? Any must-trys? Spill! xx
