1. Maybelline Color Show in Paint the Town

We begin our short list of affordable nail polish options to try this Christmas with a very familiar color. Paint the Town Red by Maybellie Color Show is a cute shade of red. The tint is bright and cheerful! It also reminds me of candy canes and Santa Claus’ Christmas suit. Plus you can get it for just $2.97.

2. Revlon Nail Enamel in Pure Pearl

If the Maybelline’s Paint The Town reminds me of Santa’s suit then Pure Pearl by Revlon Nail Enamel is the suit’s white trim and pom-pom. The pearl finish looks like satin and reminds me of Christmas movies and hot chocolate! (I don’t know why, but it does.) If you like nail polish with a pearl finish then give this one a try for the holidays. It's yours for just $3.97.

3. KleanColor in Leaves Jingle

All this talk about Santa’s suit makes me think of elf stockings and Christmas trees! (Can you tell I’m excited about the season?) The Leaves Jingle polish by KleanColor is a great shade of green. The color is rich and iridescent without being overwhelming. It even has tiny specks of glitter that highlight the color and complement the sheen. If you are daring enough, try it! I know I will, especially since it's under $3.00.

4. Wet N Wild Fergie in Gold Album

Gold nail polish is a bold choice, especially for the holidays. The variety of gold nail polish colors available is pretty large. It can be a little challenging to find the right shade for your event and skin tone. Gold Album from the Wet n Wild Fergie collection is a nicely muted, yet shimmery, gold. This gold reminds me of Christmas lights and tree toppers. Pick it up for just $3.49.

5. Hard Candy Crystal Confetti in Surprise Surprise

Glitter nail polish is fun! You can where it alone or over another polish to enhance the color. Surprise Surprise from Hard Candy goes on smoothly and lasts. The color is fun and festive. The silver glitter polish reminds me of stars, snow, and moonlight. Find it for just $4.00.

6. Sally Hansen Insta Dri in Blazing Blue

Sally Hansen Insta-Dri line has a wonderful color called Blazing Blue. I like dark blue polish, lots. Blazing Blue has a wonderful tone and shimmer. The deep color and shimmer remind me of glass ornaments and gift-wrapping paper. The best part is that it's just $3.00!

7. Maybelline Color Show in Wine and Dine

The last color on our little list is this gorgeous Wine and Dine from Maybelline Color Show. This purple color is a wonderful deep color that is almost plum and looks like wine. The shimmer is lovely and the polish applies smoothly. We love this color – it’s great for the holiday season and beyond. At less than $4.00, you can stock up all year.
