The perfect stocking stuffer for the nail polish fan on your list is here! The Essie Holiday nail polish collection is contained in four, cute little mini-bottles, in shades of pale lilac (Go Ginza), red (Altitude Attitude), deep purple-navy (No More Film), and a sparkling silver (Apres Chic).

The colors from the Essie Holiday gift set are so perfect for the holiday season; as well as the winter season. Red is always a festive hue during the holidays, and it is so classic! This makes “Altitude Attitude” a fabulous red to have on hand for the holidays, and beyond.

Metallics are the bees knees this season, so “Apres Chic” is perfect to wear during the holidays for a festive mani, as well as throughout the winter season. “Go Ginza” is such an unique lilac hue! This is a great color to wear throughout the winter, and into early spring. It is my favorite of the set. Of course “No More Film” is a beautiful, deep dark purple with navy undertones. It’s mysterious and fabulous; perfect for winter. Love!

Of course, this little gift set is perfect for you too! If you love to change your nail color often, like me, then you will love these cute little mini bottles. The Essie Holiday nail polish gift set is such a great value for four festive hues! Plus Go Ginza and No More Film are unique, stand-out colors. If you like fresh hues on your nails, these two colors are to-die-for!

I can’t wait to wear these colors throughout the holiday season. They also make a great holiday gift or stocking stuffer idea!

Chanel Pink Rubber nail polish holidays 2016

Chanel Pink Rubber nail polish is one of two colors Chanel introduced for the holiday 2016 season. Pink Rubber by Chanel is also part of the “Velvet Nail Lacquer” collection which is a type of matte nail polish.

If you are a fan of matte nail polish, you are in luck! Chanel Pink Rubber is a dainty, pale matte pink polish which is feminine, and acts as a neutral. This is a great color to move through the holidays, into the resort season, for finishing the winter months, and transitioning to spring. This is the color that can do it all!

Pale pink nail polish is a huge trend this winter season. The hottest colors in winter and holiday nails include pale pink, shades of red, and metallics. If pale pink is the nail polish trend you want to follow this season, Chanel Pink Rubber nail polish is the way to go!

The matte finish of Pink Rubber gives a modern edge to an otherwise classic, and feminine hue. As with all Chanel nail polishes, Pink Rubber is long lasting. I tested it out with one base coat, and three coats of color, no top coat. The nail polish lasted a full week before my nails grew out and they needed to be changed.

Pink Rubber by Chanel is a pale pink, cream nail polish which needs three coats applied in order to not be streaky. Since Chanel polish is strong, you don’t really need a top coat, so the extra coat of color is not a big deal. So if you usually add a matte top coat to your polish, you are in luck! Chanel Pink Rubber is matte so you don’t need to take that extra step.

Chanel Pink Rubber nail polish is limited edition, and part of the holidays 2016 collection. It is selling out fast! You can find Chanel Pink Rubber online here.
