The holiday season is the stuff of nail polish addicts' dreams. Why, you ask? Because this is the time when glitter truly gets to sparkle (pun intended). Manicure maniacs know that slicking on several coats of shine is worth the removal process [1] later: not only do you get tons of compliments, but your claws are practically chip-proof. This year, there are plenty of sparkling new nail polishes to give your fingers and toes a festive flurry of glitter. Trust us — even if you thought your nail polish collection was fully rounded out, these shimmering topcoats, holiday nail art [2] sets, and giftable miniature bottles will have you making room for more.
