Check out some dazzling user-submitted nails over at Beautylish and get motivated to do your own.

If you’re not steady enough to paint your nails for the holiday season, don’t fret! With the abundance of glittering polishes from your favorite brands—some favorites include Essie's winter 2012 Beyond Cozy and Illamasqua Nail Varnish in Spartan—you’re sure to find a color to suit the occasion.
