As a part of the Christmas Countdown I wanted to put together some holiday party outfits! This time of year is such an exciting time, because you can dress up for multiple occasions and really hype up the glam! I also wanted to create some outfits that could work for most budgets!

Here are a few ideas that I wanted to share with you!

Black to the Basics

I love the simple femininity of this black chiffon dress and then adding some bolder pieces like a detailed pair of heels, a metallic clutch, and some dome studs. Last, but not least to add a bold statement polish like OPI's Bogota Blackberry!

Dress $ 29.95
Shoes $ 48.99
Clutch $ 29.80
Earrings $ 5.80


Red-y To Go

When I saw this dress I immediately fell in love! It is cute and classy all wrapped into one! Plus the bold red color is sure to be a head turner! I paired it with a neutral chunky shoe to add a modern edge and then added some playfully girly accessories for glitz and glam. The polish had to be beautifully bold and nothing does that better than Nicole's It Starts With Me.

Dress $ 44.90
Shoes $ 31.95
Necklace $ 10.80
Clutch $ 23.80

Glitzy Girl

Aside from dresses, if you can find a really cute skirt it can make an outfit just as fab! I paired a really simple top with a glitzy skirt to create the ultimate party girl outfit. To accessorize I add some cluster studs with a clutch that reminded me of the galaxy, which I though fit this theme perfectly. Top top it of I added a really bold statement shoe. Don't forget to polish those digits with a glitter packed polish like this one from OPI's Nicki Minaj collection called Metallic 4 Life.

Skirt $ 29.95
Shirt $ 6.95
Clutch $ 14.95
Shoes $ 150.00
Earrings $ 14.98

I hope you find some inspiration in these holiday outfits! It was alot of fun putting these ideas together!

Christmas Countdown[Beauty Tip]: How To Remove Glitter Nail Polish

Tis the season of glitter polish! With all of the Christmas parties and get togethers the amount of glitter polish applications most likely triples or at least in my case it does. As a part of my Christmas Countdown I thought it would be fun to share a beauty tip.

That being said I know how terribly frustrating it can be to remove glitter nail polish since the glitter is basically suspended in clear GLUE! I don't know how many hours I have spent sitting scrubbing and tugging at my nails to remove glitter. Not to mention the amount of cotton pads and nail polish remover that is wasted!

Well no more, I have found a way to remove glitter polish without the scrubbing and tugging and can be completed in about 5 minutes! Amazing right?!

Let me show you how...

What you'll need:

Nail Polish Remover [any kind will work] I use Sally Hansen's Nail Polish Remover in Salon Strength.

Cotton Pads

Tin Foil

Here's How:

Cut tin foil into about 1 to 1.5 inch strips wide.

 

You will then take a cotton pad and put a generous amount of nails polish remover on it.

Wrap the cotton pad around your fingernail.

Then taking a tin foil strip carefully warp it around the cotton pad and your fingernail, once it is wrapped around give it a squeeze so it is tight around the nail.

Repeat this for all nails.

Let your tin foil nails sit for about 5 minutes. Once 5 minutes is up remove the tin foil and cotton pad by squeezing and pulling away from your body, off the nail.

Watch as the glitter is gone! It's that simple! 

Don't forget to wash your hands thoroughly with soap it's not good to let the nail polish remover sit on your skin.

Give this a try and let me know how it works for you! Also if you have any glitter removal tips I would love to hear!
