NOTD: China Glaze Online Only Sesame Street 50th Anniversary Holiday Collection in A Grouchy New Year

One coat of China Glaze's Online Only Sesame Street 50th Anniversary Holiday Collection in A Grouchy New Year. Green and Gold Glitter in a Clear Base.

Y'all, I know this was intended for the Christmas season; but the moment I put it on my nails I thought of St. Patrick's Day because the mix of gold and green just screams leprechaun!

A Grouchy New Year makes for the prettiest top coat! The multiple glitter shapes add a playful feel; while the blend of gold and green is ultra unique. I layered this over Sally Hansen Insta Dri Nail Color in White On Time; but it would look pretty topping anything from green to gold to silver. Highly recommend this one if you're looking for a unique glitter!

NOTD: OPI Mexico City Nail Lacquer Collection in Mural Mural On the Wall

Three coats of OPI Mexico City Nail Lacquer Collection in Mural Mural On the Wall. Coral Crelly with Gold Glitter Shards.

Babes, I am speechless over this stunner!

Mural Mural On the Wall is a glorious coral crelly with gold glitter shards that are magical. At first sight, I thought this one would be orange; but the gold glitter shards really brighten up the color as a whole, and tone it down to a peachy/coral that is decadent for spring!

Formula is super simple to work with. It does require a little extra dry time because of its crelly makeup; but it self-levels perfectly, and looks amaze in the sunlight!

NOTD: Ciaté London Mini Paint Pot in Pepperminty

Two coats of Ciaté London's Mini Paint Pot in Pepperminty. Mint Green Creme.

Kicking off March with a fresh green shade!

Pepperminty is a mint green creme that falls closer to the dusty sage spectrum as opposed to the bright, blue-based mint of the eponymous Essie Mint Candy Apple. Though I typically prefer the latter, I have to admit that this one has a certain je ne sais quoi that makes me swoony. Formula here was brilliant - perfect density, easy to work with, and opaque in two coats!

NOTD: Sally Hansen Insta Dri x Jelly Belly Nail Color in Tutti-Fruitti

Three coats of Sally Hansen Insta Dri x Jelly Belly Nail Color in Tutti-Fruitti. Milky Pink Crelly with Rainbow-Colored Glitter.

If you want to bring a whole lotta fun to your fingernails you cannot go wrong with this cutie!

Tutti-Fruitti is an explosion of color in the form of a sparkle fest! The base is a milky pale pink that builds with multiple coats, or is virtually transparent if you use only a single coat {if you're layering it over another shade}; while the multi-sized glitter is a pure party! Formula is flawless - the glitter disperses perfectly on its own without requiring a pick + choose method; while the subdued base shade really allows the sparkle to stand front and center. Loving this one!

Two coats of OPI Mexico City Nail Lacquer Collection in Hue Is the Artist? Pale Lavender Creme.

It may look white, I know; but this bad boy is actually pale lavender and it. is. per.fec.tion.

Hue Is the Artist? is the quintessential shade for spring. It has the vibe of a wondrous white; but IRL, it's less stark due to the pale lavender undertone. Formula here was so easy peasy. Two swipes, perfect opacity, and oh-so heavenly. File this in the new fave category.

NOTD: OPI Nail Lacquer in It's A Girl!

Three coats of OPI's Nail Lacquer in It's A Girl!. Baby Pink Crelly.

Ooh babes, I am a total sucker for pastels during the winter, so I couldn't resist this beauty.

It's A Girl! is a baby pink hue with an interesting finish. At first swipe it just appears sheer; however, as you continue layering, it develops a crelly-like look that makes it feel super unique. Yes, it does require a few swipes to truly bring out the color; but it builds easily, and has great wear-time. If you love sweet shades you'll def swoon over It's A Girl!

NOTD: Sally Hansen Insta Dri Nail Color in White On Time

Two coats of Sally Hansen Insta Dri Nail Color in White On Time. White Creme.

White creme for the win, amiright?! Y'all know how much I love white polishes, so I had to snag this bad boy.

White On Time is a lush, White-Out inspired shade that works for year-round wear, and is just. so. perfect. Not gonna lie, this one comes out thick, so you need to wipe the brush on the lip of the bottle, flip, and repeat before applying the color to the nail. Wear-time is fab {5 days, no chips}; and, if you're not feeling a stark shade, this one works so well as a base for glitters. Natch!

Three coats of OPI's Love OPI, XOXO Holiday 2017 Collection in Snow Glad I Met You. Pearlized Soft White.

OMG you guys I love this shade!

So, I was shopping my stash the other day and stumbled upon this gem. Typically I don't go for a pearlized color, but Snow Glad I Love You is legitimately too pretty to pass up. Though sheer during application, this one builds beautifully in a few coats; but the best part? The staying power! This one lasts for days upon days without chipping! Woot!

OMG ladies I am dying over this shade!

Since 1969 is a gorgeous gunmetal glitter that is basically the polish equivalent of a dark and stormy night. The formula is flawless to work with. Though thin and semi-sheer on coat one, two coats is chockful of glittery charcoal goodness that will make. you. swoon. This bad boy right here just became one of my favorite nail colors of all time.

Me Ate Santa's Cookies! is one of the chicest shades I have ever laid eyes on - what with its frosty feel that legit makes you want to cozy up by the fireplace. Babes, the formula here was so good! I easily could have gotten away with a single swipe as the coverage was that fab; but I doubled up to be safe. Grab this before it's gone girls!

Talk about a lemming! Babes, never have I ever seen a color like this. Meaning? You need to get your hands on a bottle yesterday!

Fa-La-Ah-Ah-Ahhh! is a brilliant purple gold shimmer that literally screams royal. TBH I truly cannot get over how stunning the shift in this shade is. Sometimes it looks blue; at others it takes on a green cast; but ultimately it is a purple gold beauty that is 100% one of a kind. Formula was fab. Not gonna lie, this baby is thin; but it builds beautifully, so all you need is two swipes and you are good. to. go.

This color ladies...I can't!

Sprinkle of Twinkle is the color to ring 2020 in with! This one is a pure glitter with a mix of silver microglitter coupled with silver shards to add a little extra dimension and sparkle. Formula here was lush - just shy of a OCW, two swipes of Sprinkle of Twinkle will get you full-coverage. And for those of you not feeling a full-on glitter mani? This beauty would be decadent as an accent nail!

Babes, I cannot get over how much I'm loving this cutie for the holidays!

Giggling All the Way is truly the sweetest shade for December! Though dubbed a pink shimmer, up close it is actually a blend of red and silver microshimmer that gives off a very playful, candy cane-inspired look. The formula her is so good. It's the perfect consistency, so two coats gives you full coverage + no brushstrokes! Loving this one forever!

Gilded in Gold is a shimmering shade that livens up the neutral game, and adds a splash of sparkle to your mani repertoire. Positively perfect for the holidays; Gilded in Gold practically paints itself. Meaning? The density and flow of the polish makes it one of the easiest to work with. One coat gives you almost full coverage; while two leaves you with this gorgeous look. Don't let December pass without adding this glamorous gal to your collection!

Morgan Taylor Champagne & Moonbeams Glam Mini 4 Pack Swatches + Review

Not gonna lie here, I haven't been too intrigued by the 2019 holiday nail collections; but there was something special about the Morgan Taylor Champagne & Moonbeams Glam Mini 4 Pack that caught my eye, and I am so glad that it did! Ladies, though the colors may seem pretty standard for this time of year, these beauties are one of a kind in finish; and are bound to make your entire season magical and sparkly!

Walking On Stardust is a Crimson Crelly with Red Microglitter and Scattered Red Shards. Here comes Santa Claus... Ladies, y'all know that red polish is representative of December; but this beauty right here takes. the. cake. Walking On Stardust is, IMO, the creme de la creme of red due to one simple fact: the addition of the scattered red glitter shards. It's an unexpected touch that gives the shade a playful persona that requires a double-take. Formula was a dream - one coat gives you a pink-leaning raspberry; while two coats gives you the glorious crimson you see here. Don't let the season pass without getting your hands on this bad boy! This is 2 coats.

Sprinkle of Twinkle is a Silver Glitter w/ Silver Glitter Shards. This color ladies...I can't! Sprinkle of Twinkle is the color to ring 2020 in with! This one is a pure glitter with a mix of silver microglitter coupled with silver shards to add a little extra dimension and sparkle. Formula here was lush - just shy of a OCW, two swipes of Sprinkle of Twinkle will get you full-coverage. And for those of you not feeling a full-on glitter mani? This beauty would be decadent as an accent nail! This is 2 coats.

A Starry Sight is an Indigo Pearl. Le sigh...babes, this is legit one of my favorite shades of 2019 because it is so different from what you typically see in polish collections! A Starry Sight is a brilliant indigo meets blurple pearl that is loaded with shine {even before top coat}; and literally glows on your fingertips. The formula is flawless - it's fluid without being runny; while dense enough to give full coverage with minimal effort. This one would be stunning for New Year's Eve! This is 2 coats.

Gilded in Gold is a Metallic Gold Shimmer. If I'm being honest, I must tell you...this is the most stunning gold nail color I have ever encountered! Gilded in Gold is a shimmering shade that livens up the neutral game, and adds a splash of sparkle to your mani repertoire. Positively perfect for the holidays; Gilded in Gold practically paints itself. Meaning? The density and flow of the polish makes it one of the easiest to work with. One coat gives you almost full coverage; while two leaves you with this gorgeous look. Don't let December pass without adding this glamorous gal to your collection! This is 2 coats.
