Yesss! Every year we’re all waiting for this time — holiday season! If you’re not excited for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s Eve, I do not know there is anything else to be excited about! So, what would you like to do to embrace the dazzling season? You buy new coats and new boots. You go for holiday makeup looks. You have a gorgeous hairstyle. In that case, your fingernails — the most important accessory to warm your winter hands — cannot be ignored in the holiday season.

Seriously, there is no better accessory to pair with your new chunky knit than a chic, mod manicure peeking out from your sleeves. Besides looking attractive, painting nails with a high-quality nail polish also serves a purpose: When it comes to nails in the winter, it’s actually better not to go bare. Nails tend to peel and crack more in the winter season, so wearing polish actually helps guard them from those conditions. And, of course, don’t forget cuticles and hands: Stash a hand cream with thick emollients to smooth them throughout the chilly day.
