Good afternoon!

We all know that Illamasqua is amazing and they come out with some really great nail polishes, right? Well they have a new collection called Boo! and Hiss!

I love this little guy! He’s an authentic German Nutcracker ornament, one of two on my tree. I would have about 50 of them if they weren’t so expensive!

Just took this picture at work of about 100 people dressed as Santa Claus. Pretty cool!

The ones I am showing today are more “classic” greens like Emerald, etc. I will publish a totally different olive/khaki green category post at a later date. There are quite simply SO many I love!

Here they are in no particular order!
