Sweetspot.ca’s Festive Fingertips

It’s safe to say that the sweetspot.ca crew is a pretty creative bunch when it comes to nail polish combos. So when charged with conceptualizing and executing an original holiday-themed manicure, it’s no surprise that the results were dazzling.

The Adorable Snowman
Our editorial intern Charlotte didn’t wait for a snow day to make a bunch of little snowman friends; she grabbed her trusty nail-polish kit instead.

SweetTip: If you don’t have a nail art kit, you can apply the eyes, nose and mouth with a toothpick instead.

Supplies: Nicole by OPI It’s All About The Glam, Kiss Nail Artist Paint & Stencil Kit, and Essie Meet Me at Sunset

Winter Wonderland
Walking through a winter wonderland would be a more stylish affair if our manicures matched the scenery.

Artist: Tiffany Shand, Web Producer
Supplies: Kiss Nail Polish in Glitter and White and Sally Hansen Nail Art Pen

Frosted Holly Berries
Decking the halls with boughs of holly is fine and all, but we prefer decorating our fingertips with berry-red polish.

Artist: Erica Diamond, iVillage Senior Producer
Supplies: Deborah Lippmann My Old Flame and Essie Set in Stone

Trimming the Christmas Tree
Instead of decorating a tree, Rebecca decided to adorn her nails with sparkly baubles.

Artist: Rebecca Burstein, Assistant Editor
Supplies: Nicole by OPI Rainbow in the S-Kylie

Snow Falling on Cedars
Leave it to the most stylish bookworm we know to come up with a wicked literary reference for her green-and-silver holiday manicure.

Artist: Gabrielle Johnson, SweetLife Editor
Supplies: Essie School of Hard Rocks and Essie Set in Stone

Solstice Night
To celebrate the longest night of the year, Emma painted a dark blue shade on each nail but tipped one solitary pinkie finger with a flicker of gold to represent the returning sun.

Artist: Emma Yardley, Associate Editor
Supplies: Essie Bobbing for Baubles and Nicole by OPI Gold Texture

Gorgeous Garlands
Garlands wrapped neatly around the Christmas tree give off a glamorous impression — and Charlotte decided to give her nails the same treatment.

Sweet Tip: Add a layer of Hard Candy Just Nails Break Up (available at Walmart) to make your nails glitter like you just turned on the twinkly fairy lights.
