Winter has arrived in New York, and no one is really trying to spend tons of time outside in the howling wind, freezing temperatures and swirling snow. So here I give you a calorie free pastime. Work your way through these nail trends as you cozy up at home and watch marathons of shows your obsessed with, ie Homeland. I am happy to report that this season is full of unexpected, unique, and utterly delectable winter polish colors. Working your way through Thanksgiving with festive cranberry hues, all the way down to NYE party-ready glitter nails! Here are lacquers for you to ogle over, so find your perfect polish that will keep your fingers looking fabulous all winter long.
