@beautybyshantele We're seriously convinced that there's nothing more ideal for the holiday season than plaid print nails. The classic black and white gingham pattern mixed with matte black and maroon accents give a cozy, elevated, festive look, fit for every and any outfit you don this season!

10. Pretty as a Present

@kaysmeyer Um, we’re swooning. If you’re not sure what to gift your family and friends this year, why not show off these pretty-as-a-present nails? After all, the gold accents are reminiscent of those shiny ribbons under the Christmas tree! Sure to surprise and delight. --- Slip into your comfort zone this holiday season (you deserve it). Get as cozy as possible, or show up in your flyest outfit yet (you do you!), and head to The W—aka your holiday self-care destination.
