Whether you’re into fancy, embellished nails all year round, or you just want to jazz things up for the holiday season, these manicure looks will instantly turn your nails into the perfect style accessory.

If you’re not that adventurous when it comes to your manicure look, the holiday season is the perfect time to experiment and dazzle your digits the way they deserve. And the best part is, you can take these ideas to your nail salon that offers CND Shellac polish to get these looks that will last up to two weeks.

I took some inspiration from these looks to create my own custom look. Wanting a more neutral nail, my CND professional, Jenni, layered CND Shellac in Strawberry Smoothie over Iced Cappuccino. She then added CND Additives in Antique Gold to give my nails festive sparkle.
