China Glaze Mingle with Kringle is a blingtastic gold that I am absolutely crazy about! (It’s from the China Glaze Happy HoliGlaze Collection.)

There aren’t too many golds in my nail-polish collection, but the ones I have, I love!

Thanks to NailPolishCanada, I got to try this incredibly festive shade that I have been wearing for a full 7 days as of the time I’m preparing this blog post!

(That doesn’t usually happen because I’m the type of nailphile who typically changes my nail colour often. So, I hope it speaks volumes as to just how much I adore China Glaze Mingle with Kringle!)

My cuticles are a little stained from a red nail polish that I wore earlier. After a day of washing my hands, it went away, haha, but I just couldn’t wait that long to snap photos of this nail polish.

In real life, the red cuticles weren’t so obvious as when they’re blown up on the blog. And really, the gorgeous gold put such a huge smile on my face, I hardly noticed the stained cuticles when I wore it, so that’s all that matters to me!

China Glaze Just Be-Claws is another stunning shade from the Happy HoliGlaze Collection. (They’re really on a roll for this Christmas collection!)

If you liked the way OPI Underneath the Mistletoe looked, I think you’ll probably also adore China Glaze Just Be-Claws.

While they’re very different polishes (and you can certainly justify owning both), what makes them like cousins instead of sisters is how the glitter looks so sparkly, as though you’re gazing upon treasures at the bottom of the ocean.

This jewel-toned red is very luxurious, and I really loved wearing it!

Now that December is here, I’m getting more into the festive spirit with red nail polishes.

Well, I’ve worn several already, but I decided to blog about them this month, so it’s more timely. You can expect more holiday shades coming soon!

Are you getting your home all ready for the holidays? Or are you planning to pack your bags and head somewhere to visit family and friends?

I’ll be visiting my mom during the Christmas week, and I’ve taken time off work so that we can do more things during the day.

Since I usually just visit her once a week, it’s nice that I’ll be able to spend a longer time and consecutive days with her.

In today’s post, I’m showcasing China Glaze Elfin’ Around from the Happy HoliGlaze Collection, which is an interesting twist on the typical Christmas reds on the market during this time of year. It’s actually a reddish orange, but it can read red when you look at it solo and in some lighting conditions. (When I review traditional reds later this week, you’ll really be able to see the difference!)

Being a green lover, I was very excited to try out China Glaze This Is Tree-mendous from the Happy HoliGlaze Collection. The fact that it was also full of fine glitter was like the icing on the cake.

When I wore this, it was almost like I had green tinsel on my nails because no matter where I was, I could see them twinkle.

This is a very festive look, but I’d wear it again any time of year, not just around the holidays.

If it were a darker green, I think I’d fall more in love with it, but it’s still pretty, and I had lots of fun wearing it!
