Sonia Kashuk Reach For the Stars Nail Trio Holiday Set swatches

When the goin' gets tough, the tough paint their nails! Okay, so maybe that's not exactly how the saying goes, but you know what I mean. And when a nail polish goes on with near perfect application, like the pretty polishes in the Sonia Kashuk Reach for the Stars Nail Trio ($10), well, ain't nothin' gonna break my stride.

The limited edition holiday set comes packed to the gills with glitter in three full-size bottles — a warm peachy gold (looks like a sunset!), a gunmetal gray and a magenta. Sonia filled all three with pounds of pigment and sparkle to spare.

Where's the party at?! I ask because these festive shades hit all the right notes, but the formula's what elevates these polishes from good to great. The smooth, thin texture goes on without any streaks (reminds me of OPI's texture), and because they're so pigmented, the color is easy to build up with layers. Last week I painted my toes with the gunmetal gray, and it was one of the fastest and easiest at-home pedicures I've given myself in ages. Just two coats produced a solid, opaque layer of color. Heck, I probably could have gotten away with one layer if I'd been in hurry.
