Feast your eyes on the season's most glitter-packed nail polishes, the short route to extreme levels of festive spirit literally at your fingertips.

A chunky gold by Uslu Airlines for J.Crew, Butter London's pearlescent red, and a disco-ready silver from new brand to know Smith & Cult are among our picks, spilled out and sized up in the images below.
