Tis the season! This is the best time to shop for the holiday season! I love getting all my shopping done before Thanksgiving. This enables me to relax and enjoy the holiday season once Thanksgiving weekend starts. Of course, there is always last minute Christmas or holiday shopping to be done in December, but isn’t it a nice feeling to have the bulk of it done early? I love it!

I have assembled together my favorite holiday gift ideas for her into this holiday gift guide. These will all make fabulous Christmas gifts, Hanukkah, and gifts for all of the holidays this season.

Holidays nails with Kendra Scott and giveaway

The holiday season is fast approaching. With the jolly season around the corner, we need to get our holiday nail game in order! This winter season, we are fortunate in that sparkling, metallic nail polish is a hot trend. Sparkling nails are already du riguer, so this season it is all about picking the color, or color combination, that fits our own personal style. Love that!

Kendra Scott has nailed the holiday nail game this year. For the winter season, she has introduced two drusy nail colors; black and rose gold, as well as three transformative coats including silver leaf, gold leaf, and iridescent leaf. These are the perfect colors, and top coats to wear right now; and throughout the holiday season. Love!

Kendra Scott Gold Leaf Transformative Coat nail polish review

kendra scott gold leaf transformative coat nail polish

Top coat: c/o Kendra Scott Gold Leaf Transformative Coat nail polish for the winter and holiday seasons.

Kendra Scott’s winter collection is here, and as a part of her sparkling line, there are a few, fabulous transformative coats to make our nails sparkle this winter and holiday seasons. Love!

Everyone loves sparkling nails for the holiday season! So, I was thrilled to be able to test out Kendra Scott’s new Gold Leaf Transformative Coat nail polish from her winter collection. I love the gold color, which looks amazing over holiday nail polish colors such as red, green, and black.

The line of transformative coats are offered in gold leaf, silver leaf, and iridescent leaf. In addition to the transformative coats, Kendra Scott has also introduced Black Drusy nail lacquer, and Rose Gold Drusy nail lacquer. The top coats, and nail polishes, are all perfectly on trend, and festive, for the winter and holiday seasons. Love that!

 I love the festive look of the Kendra Scott Gold Leaf Transformative Coat nail polish. It adds instant holiday sparkle to any color of nail polish. For the mani featured above, I used two coats of the Gold Leaf transformative coat in order to add more gold to the polish. If you do one coat, the gold leaf is more of an accent. Another idea is to only add the gold leaf to the top portion of the nail, say the top one-third, for a more understated look.

This Gold Leaf Transformative Coat by Kendra Scott is so much fun! I can’t wait to wear it over other colors during the holiday season such as black, green, blue, white, and silver. It will be so festive and fun for all of the upcoming holiday parties this month, and next! The transformative coat is also perfect for New Years Eve nails too! Love!
