Holly is an evergreen bush usually with red berries but I have seen some with white. The red and green combined with the fact that it's an evergreen is probably why it's used a lot for Christmas decorations. Mistletoe is a parasitic plant (also an evergreen). Generally speaking, if you see a tree with balls of leaves (easier to spot in the Fall and Winter months when trees have lost their leaves) it's a good chance that it's mistletoe you're seeing. Mistletoe can stunt the growth of it's host tree or some times if there's a lot of it, it can actually kill the tree. The arborists at my college would remove as much mistletoe from the trees as they could in the Fall and Winter when it was easier to get to. This is probably more than you wanted, but I always found it fascinating that mistletoe can be harmful to trees even though it's a plant as well.
Adorable!!!! You make everything look so easy. My nails are a mess rn. They're broken and uneven. If I can get them looking normal I'm going to try this. #GalaxyGang #SnapFam
Would they work for my six year old daughter? We paint our nails, but she only uses the Sally Hanson quick dry nail polish. She'd like to try my polishes, but she doesn't have the patience to sit still and let them dry. I was hunting through your videos because I remember seeing you use this product.
This is very cute, but I don't think I can do it on my dominate hand! Maybe I'll have to start with a single nail. Great inspiration!! I can't wait to see what else you come up with this holiday season!
So perfect! I was just going to wear Cirque's "Druzy" all season but now I gotta try this! Oh and Holly=red berries like this & Mistletoe=white berries so you could just reverse the white and red ;)
Love it, so simple and cute! I'm a fairly new sub, so I feel naive asking this, but those quick dry drops, do you put those on while the nail polish is still wet? It doesn't make the design run?
So cute! Here’s a fun fact-Mistletoe is actually a parasitic plant! It can grow on its own but will more often than not actually tap into the tree it’s growing off of and leach nutrients from it.
Hi Kelly, I love this mani, but I have a question for you.. I love my nail polish and my nails are STAINED! I have very yellow nails and I always used to love these nude mani's but it is simply no longer an option for me. Your nails always look great even though you baiscly always seem to wear nail polish. What is your secret? What keeps your nails from staining accept for a base coat? Or is there a certain base coat that just works best for not staining your nails?
Hey Iris, I religiously use a great base coat - my favorite is Cuccio base coat - and I’m always very careful with removing my polish to make sure I avoid my cuticle area!
awesome nail art video, as always. hey, kelli, I wanted to order a nail art brush on what's up nails to mexico but it charges me express shipping. is that the only shipping method?
my naked nails are hideous so I must cover them up 😂 can't do the clear I have to use nude. I prefer It's A Match by China Glaze cuz it matches my skin tone pretty well. I use French tip vinyls
question... the top of my nails are longer then yours.. does that mean I paint the whole tip white?.. and will that look weird? .. this is very cute btw.. I need a dotting tool
It depends. If you are using a full coverage pink base, no, the white free edge of your nail doesn't have to be followed closely. If you aren't using a base color, or if the base color is sheer, you have to either follow your free edge line closely or just a couple of millimeters closer to your cuticle than the natural line. You don't want to see the natural ivory free edge and then a bright white tip, it looks weird. If you use a full coverage color as a base you can make your free edge as deep or as chevron shaped as you like, keeping in mind that the white tip does need to start before your fingertip underneath ends. It won't look natural if the pink is longer than your fingertip.
I love this, so cute and adds a bit of spice to a French manicure. I believe it's a Holly design. I'm definitely going to try this. I painted my nails a Burberry plaid yesterday. I sent you a picture on snapchat. I don't think you got it though. I think you have to add me as a friend or something. I found you, but I only saw the one awesome holo nail 💅polish collection, and that was it. I don't use snapchat, obviously, or instagram or twitter. I'm not a stalker, don't worry. Haha. Hope you have a great week! I start my new job Tuesday. Very excited. Thx for another great video, as always Kelli. Love you lots. 😘💅💅🐕🐩🐶🎄🎍🎁🎅🎅
Hey! That sounds so pretty :) I actually don’t accept snaps hehe i just post them onto my story! Good luck with your job, what an exciting new adventure!!! Lots of love!!
Hey everyone! I have a tip for the French tip, instead of doing it freehand, just place a piece of scotch tape above the part of your French tip, and paint it on, remove of the tape and tada! mess free nails.
I figured it out. Get a PO Box and I’ll send you a tiny paint palette for your nail art. It always freaks me out that you use paper for some reason. 😂😂😂
Of course we want more holiday nail art!!!!
Haha will def do more!!
This is the cutest little mini-mani! Thank you for sharing! :-)
Hehe thank you!!
Ooh, your HOLLY manicure is so pretty! Mistletoe is the white berries that people hang up and make you kiss under. Anyway, that's adorable!
Haha thanks for clarifying for me!!

LOL! I’ll tell ya a secret - it is matte in the photo :P
Kelli Marissa WHATTTTT why doesn't it look matte ?? I see shine. SHOOK

Lol! I should know this.
Kelli Marissa not necessarily. Lol I was thinking of doing a red tip and mistletoe...
Super...❤
Love it, so simple and cute! I'm a fairly new sub, so I feel naive asking this, but those quick dry drops, do you put those on while the nail polish is still wet? It doesn't make the design run?
Hey Rachel, this was actually my first time using them but I gave the nail art a minute or two before I applied the drops! It worked really well!
this is so cute
loose
Thank youuu!!
For the NEW upcoming year would you do a best top 10 OPI,china glaze,zoya polishes? I d really appreciate it! Thnx!
Ooh I like this idea!!
YESSSS GIRL 😍🎄
🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
I cant do that but thats adorable TY
Haha you should try!!!
Can you do a nail art tutorial with matte nails? I'm into it lately lol
YES!! Omg my favorite finish is matte lol!
Cute! :) I think it's holly but I'm not a winter greenery expert :P
Thank you!!
So cute! Here’s a fun fact-Mistletoe is actually a parasitic plant! It can grow on its own but will more often than not actually tap into the tree it’s growing off of and leach nutrients from it.
That is a fun fact haha! I didn’t know, so funny how it became a holiday tradition to hang it up.
Beautiful ! Love it ! Get it girl :) ;)
Thanks Tamara!!!
Those are too cute! 😆😁💅💜

awesome nail art video, as always.
hey, kelli, I wanted to order a nail art brush on what's up nails to mexico but it charges me express shipping. is that the only shipping method?
Hey Katherine, I’d email their customer service and ask - I’m not familiar with their international shipping!
I thought they were cherries 😅😅 I love it 😍
Lol! That’s a good idea for the summer!
Red berries with pointed leaves,, holly
Haha that sounds about right!
my naked nails are hideous so I must cover them up 😂 can't do the clear I have to use nude. I prefer It's A Match by China Glaze cuz it matches my skin tone pretty well. I use French tip vinyls
This would totally work wit a nude bass!
Base* lol
❤️❤️❤️
😁😁
Very nice and sweet :-)
Thank you :)

It's holly mistletoe is white.
Ah that makes sense!
Snap fam
10th like OMG!
:D :D
Hey everyone! I have a tip for the French tip, instead of doing it freehand, just place a piece of scotch tape above the part of your French tip, and paint it on, remove of the tape and tada! mess free nails.
Krisandra Pereira She said that. 🙄
Lol I did mention that in the video!
Do y
U wait for the white to dry before removing tape
chloenkitty anyhow, I remove mine before it dries :)
Kelli Marissa Oh I might have missed that, I'm sowwy...
it's holly because mistletoe has white berries
Ooh thanks for letting me know!
I figured it out. Get a PO Box and I’ll send you a tiny paint palette for your nail art. It always freaks me out that you use paper for some reason. 😂😂😂
Lol, I do use coated paper - like those plasticky feeling mailers, the polish lasts on them a while :P
Kelli Marissa Well, that makes me feel a bit better! 😂
This is so cute
Thanks Gabby!
