glittery navy blue nails with yin yang design

If you’re looking for a sparkly mani for the holiday season that’s not too cutesy or literal (no gingerbread men, etc.), go for glittery dark blue nails with a hint of white. Not only is blue known to be a soothing, stress-reducing color, but combining a yin yang-style design with a hint of sparkle makes for a chic wintery look that’s subtly festive. It’s like a  glittering night sky! Bonus: You can wear this navy nail design through the season and into the new year (can’t. come. fast enough.)
