Whether you ring in the holidays with an ugly sweater and some eggnog at home, a big office holiday party, a gift exchange with your friends, sifting through our gift guide for the perfect gift, or just a sleeve of Candy Cane Joe Joe’s, we all welcome the holiday season in our own ways (some a little more than others). How do I show everyone around me that I’m in the holiday spirit? With a perfectly done holiday manicure, thanks to the vast Pinterest board of holiday nail ideas I’ve been saving all year.
