When the festivities descend, our calendars tend to fill up and, if we're not careful, leave us with very little time to prepare. A nail appointment can easily fall through the cracks, but if you suddenly find yourself in need of an elevated, party-ready manicure, these glitter nail polishes will more than suffice...

A festive nail design can encompass all manner of looks, from dainty star nails to pops of timeless red, but there's one style, in particular, that is (and likely always will be) attributed most to the holidays - glitter. Though a shimmering lacquer can get a bad rap for being a tad tacky or juvenile in appearance, when executed well, a hint of pearlescent shimmer or light-catching glimmer can afford a very expensive look - and is arguably one of the easiest ways to transform your talons to party-ready. The key lies in selecting the right finish, base colour and the size of glitter pieces.
