4 Insanely Festive Nail Lacquers for Holiday

I tend to like wildly disparate things, and that holds particularly true when it comes to manicures. All fall, I've been loving a classic red or wine creme - no shimmer, please, I'd rather die - but now that we're in full steam holiday mode, it's ALL about a festive glitter.

Below, four of the best - appropriate for all holiday celebrations, including Christmas and New Year's Eve:

• essie Leading Lady, a perfectly non-gritty, festive red, $8.50
• JinSoon Gala (part of the Holiday Topping Gift Set), rose gold perfection - try layering these as topcoats, $48
• Nails Inc. Piccadilly Arcade, a game-changing emerald, $5 (currently on sale)
• Deborah Lippmann Glitter and Be Gay, (let's just say Liberace would approve), $19

Lady Luck on My Side: Miranda Frye Jewelry

In just a few weeks, I'll be headed down to Atlantic City to fete the 30th birthday of a friend. And while I prefer a sure thing, knowing myself, I won't be able to resist the allure of the casino floors. In short? A lucky charm is in order, and I knew it when I saw it - a Vintage Poker Chip pendant ($155) by designer Miranda Frye.

Available as an ultra limited edition, each Vintage Poker Chip necklace boasts a vintage 1920's poker chip, made of precious Mother of Pearl (as opposed to the plastic or clay chips used today) and set on a silver or gold chain. Miranda's simple, modern jewelry is perfect for layering and with most pieces under $100, it's definitely tempting to splurge on multiple pieces. There's also an appealing earthiness in the collection, a la the ultra lightweight and glamorous Pointed Paisley Earrings, $40, also seen above.
