It's the most wonderful time of the year! Parties for hosting, marshmallows for toasting and cute outfits to boot. This is a season of thankfulness, togetherness and lots of sparkle. The stores have been getting ready for Christmas since before Halloween, but these clean nail colors are perfect for taking you from Friendsgiving get-togethers all the way into the New Year. And the fact that they don't contain the same chemicals as most conventional polishes is the icing on the nontoxic cake.
Check out these beautiful, chic and super festive colors:
1. Phenomenon By Mischo Beauty – $ 8.50
