It's already December and invites to Christmas and New Year's Eve parties are filling up my inbox. And while I'd love to just wear the same sequin dress to each affair, my friends' need to document every moment on Instagram and Twitter makes that impossible. So, I've discovered another way to show off my love for all things sparkle.
Taryn Multack, aka Miss Ladyfinger, translated Karl Lagerfeld's reinterpretation of '90s skirtdresses into this multicolored manicure. She used a combination of pink, purple and blue nail polishes to mimic the tweed fabric that the French fashion house is famous for. And though this is a spring-inspired design we think the rich and shiny hues work perfect for the holidays. Scroll down for Miss Ladyfinger's six simple steps to get this dazzling nail art.
