Christmas season is in full gear and we’re giving you 12 reasons to get into the Christmas spirit. What better way to fa la la than by decking those nails in style? Sport these magical manis for a wonderful Christmas time. Merry Christmas, babes, and don’t forget to spread the cheer!

 

On the first day of Christmas, Girls’ Life gave to me…a Candy Cane Stripes mani.

 

Babes, we’re insane for candy canes! Peppermint is one of the many joyous scents this time of the year brings around. So why not wear it, too?

 

What you’ll need:

•    Red nail polish
•    White nail polish
•    Painter’s tape and scissors
•    Hair dryer (optional, used on a low setting to speed up the drying process)

 

What you’ll do:

1.    Paint your nails white and let dry.

2.    Cut thin strips of painter’s tape. It’s okay if they’re not perfectly even, but they should be straight.

3.    On each nail, apply the strips of painter’s tape diagonally to create a stripe pattern.

4.    Where your nails are still showing white, paint over them with red nail polish and let dry.

5.    Gently pull off the painter’s tape and viola! Just as sweet as candy.

Comfy outfit to wear for a long car drive that still looks cute and fashionable??

Hey girl,

How about skinnies with a cute top and sneakers? If you're just going to be in the car with your fam, though, let comfort take priority--you can always change into something else when you get there!

where can I get combat boots?

Hey girl,

I would try Forever21 or H&M, or look at a department store. You could also try shoe stores at the mall!

So my fam is hosting a Christmas party at our house tonight, and I was just wondering what to wear and how to do my hair. To give you an idea, it's about as dressy as casual can be. Like a cute, flowy, printed blouse with dark jeans and curled hair, or a belted shirt dress with a cozy knit vest and a high bun or something. I would just wear one of these things, but I have to babysit for the first hour or two, and if I do well, I could have an amazingly well-paying new client. So I don't want to get all dressed up just to babysit, or give the parents the impression that I'm too posh to deal with kids, but I still wanna look good.
And the only girls my age that are coming are really annoying and they always want to go outside and run around and throw the food on the floor and talk about perverted stuff. How can I deal with them for the next 4-6 hours?!?
Please help! Thanks, Dana

Hey girl,

That sounds like a great outfit--could you not change when you got home and wear something else while you're babysitting? I'm sure if you tell the parents that you're going to a party afterward, though, they wouldn't think less of you for dressing well! If the girls want to go outside and run around, try doing that with them for a little while to get their energy out, and then maybe suggest a board game afterward so they will focus on that instead of talking about inappropriate stuff. Good luck!
