Polish Built To Last

Without all the gimmicks, and even without UV lights, these favorite polishes will hold up for at least seven days. The color picks are Revlon ColorStay Longwear Enamel in Indigo Night, CND Vinylux Weekly Polish in Azure Wish, and Sally Hansen Triple Shine Nail Color in Pool Party.
Glitter Girl
The Dec/Jan issue of Teen Vogue offers a new holiday season mani: heavy-metal. Metallic manicures can be the perfect way to add sparkle to your look. Teen Vogue suggests you can make the glitter polish jewellike by dabbing the brush on just the tip or the base of the nail. Or you can layer glitter polish with a matte topcoat, leaving a 3-D effect that sparkles. Careful not to go overboard, though, because with too much, you can risk looking childish.
