    Amidst all the primping and planning for your plethora of holiday engagements, it can be easy to overlook your nails, but a dressed-up set of digits is crucial to topping off your look.

    That's why we put together our guide to the seven hottest nail-polish trends for the holidays, plus tips from Hadley on the coolest ways to wear 'em all. Click through, take notes, and prepare to feel that holiday spirit, in your fingers and your toes.

      Nothing ups the glitz-and-glam factor quite like digits decked out in loads of sparkle. Look for polishes that feature chunky pieces of glitter alongside more finely milled shimmer. To up the impact, layer a metallic underneath to make your pizzazz really pop. "Never wear a nail polish shade that is the same color as your dress," cautions Hadley.

      Priti NYC Nail Polish in Mulberry Jam, $13.50, available at Priti NYC; NCLA Nail Polish in Hollywood Hills Hot Number, $39 for 3-piece set, available at R29 Shops; Sephora + Pantone Universe Opulent Lacquer Trio in Gold, $18, available at Sephora.
