We love holiday season in South Africa; barbecues are in abundance, office party invites are sent out and vacations are just around the corner. It’s the perfect occasion to get your nails dolled up and we’ve spotted a few fun and exciting shades to try out!

All That Glitters:

Glitter is all the hype of the festive season and Sally Hansen is currently promoting their glittering, splatter-paint effect nail polishes. The Sally Hansen Colour Frenzy Promo Collection (R89,95) comes in six shades, each featuring multidimensional shapes lending your nails a healthy dose of glitter and sunshine! These glittery gems are available at Clicks, Foschini, Edgars and Dischem stores until 30 November!

A Pocket Full of Rainbows:

If all the glitz and glam is little too far out of your comfort zone, The Body Shop has a selection of 24 uplifting and colourful shades just for you. These nature-inspired Colour Crush (R65) polishes are special as they’ve been created with a “3 free-from” formula. With no harsh chemicals, this range of nail polishes are vegan and vegetarian friendly thus making you feel less guilty about at least one thing this festive season. Hello Christmas pudding and calorie inducing Piña Colada’s! These pint-sized polishes are available at your nearest The Body Shop!

Complement your Colour:

What would summer be without a perfect (fake) tan? Dream Nails believe that you should accentuate your bronzed body by selecting a shade of inTouch nail polish that makes your gorgeous golden hands stand out even more. Pink Cashmere and Dreaming of Blue are two of the four stunning shades that we are dying to try out, but, of course we love them all! Available at Dream Nails salons for R35 (5ml) and R59 (10ml).
