Festive Tip 3: French Manicure

What better nod to the holidays than a French manicure revamped with luminescent versions of the standard pink and white colors? You'll get the same effect but with an extra twinkle accompanying every gesture.

Festive Tip 4: Pretty Ponytail
The ponytail might be your everyday hairdo, but you'll be amazed how well it can pretty up your holiday look. Roy Teeluck, a New York City salon owner and expert stylist for Nexxus, recommends teasing the hair at the crown for extra volume before securing it at the nape of the neck. "A beautiful finishing touch is to pull a strand of hair from the ponytail and bring it around the elastic," he adds.
