Hi Stephanie, I have enjoyed this series but I understand your reluctance to continue it after March. Here is an idea that I would find really useful and fun: What if you did brand-specific seasonal polishes? You could do ILNP Spring Shades in April and then maybe Holo Taco Spring Shades in May, for example. The reason I think this would be great is because I often want to order the polishes that you showcase, but I cannot make orders from seven different brands because of shipping costs. If you kept it seasonal but focused on one brand at a time, you would have a lot of material to work with - and we, your adoring fans, would be able to purchase the polishes. Just a thought.
Oh I love this idea!! Definitely a great way to showcase a bunch of brand favorites but in a seasonal way which is very much my speed hehe. Thank you for this suggestion!
Here's an idea for continuing this series next year without being repetitive - throw in personal dates, like maybe a favorite relative's birthday and a polish that makes you think of them. I think that'd be fun, and we get to know you a little better ❤
I absolutely love this series, It's unlike anything else you see here in the polish community and I think it's so fun! I'm a December baby, born on the 7th and I love your picks for the birthstones and for Sagittarius! What I’m really enjoying with this series is how you throw in national days, because I never even think about national days, and to wear polishes for a national day means that you’re getting more out of your collection. I am a huge fan of this series and I always watch when you release a new video. I would really enjoy if you made nail art videos as well, but I'm sure that will take up more time and nail art should just be fun and I know filming and editing takes a lot of time. As always, I love your content Stephanie! I look forward to the last two months of your picks
Love this series! I understand your concern about next year. Maybe focus on birth stones and flowers. I feel like there are a ton of different options out there for inspiration.
I loved it, the Sagittarius ones were perfect as one myself. I really loved the blue topaz shade you picked. I really enjoy that you try to do different content than just swatching videos, this included. Really loved that red, too.
Love these - my other December picks are: ILNP Looking Up (the midnight blue with gold flecks and holo reminds me of the sky when we go to midnight mass on Christmas eve); Holo Taco Favorite Sister & Foiled Again (the ultimate blingy Christmas duo) and ILNP Good Fortune (my New Year's Eve pick for a couple years b/c it just feels so rich and lucky!)
I’m definitely one of the lovers of this series!!! Unfortunately I don’t have any specific suggestions for how to proceed past February, but I love all your curated collection videos, so I’ll keep watching whatever you end up doing 😁💖
Perfection! I am a December baby and in addition to these, I’ll definitely add some blues! Love this series and looking forward to more! No nerves needed. I’m sure your creativity will shine through!
This was a lovely collated collection. I particularly loved that rich brown, so luscious and chocolatey! I'm really looking forward to the next one, as I'm an Aquarius ♒! Thanks Stephanie, this is a fabulous series, and I tend to Squee loudly when notification of each episode pops up!
thank you friend!! isn’t Brownie Points just decadent?? 🤤 i’m not always a fan of chocolate as it can be too~ rich for me, but i think thats why i love wearing it so much!! and yayy how exciting, i hope you’ll enjoy my Aquarius picks when i eventually share those 🥰 i appreciate your excitement over my videos!! 🥹🤗
What a great December lineup! I loved the ideas other commenters posted on wats to continue a monthly themed series, because I definitely hope to see more after February. You’re so good at curating polishes! Happy holidays!
As a December Capricorn I 100% approve of Penthouse, wow that's pretty! ILNP Chai Latte is one of my faves for this time of yr! Color Club Big Capricorn Energy and Cirques Zircon are faves too
Hydropower is such a great match - I think of it as so summery I wouldn't have thought of it for the blue December stones! I would shout out: ILNP Snow Angel- I can literally hear the Nutcracker soundtrack when I wear it! OPI Aurora Berryalis & Sinful Colors Let's Talk: The perfect pair for advent candle inspired manis/nail art Noodles's Fireside Cocoa - new to me this year and delllicccious looking I can't get enough of it ILNP Sugar Plum - those little dark flecks within the holo within the magnetic give it such depth, so perfect. I'd love a birth flower + birthstone series starting in March, but also as someone suggested doing a brand each month for the monthly shades! (PS Please go HAM for January's Aquarii coming up!! lol)
Love the serues and always excited to see your picks....I do have a suspicion you have plenty of shades and wouldnt have to repeat😂 but a birthstone series would be new and fun...and I like the idea of brand specific sections in it too!
LOL you definitely have a point there! but idk i tend to gravitate towards very specific shades, maybe sometimes for the name too! but i’m glad people seem excited about the birthstone or more brand specific videos :)
I love the series and the polishes you chose. I love December for nail polishes. It’s also my oldest granddaughters birthday. It’s only 8:45 and I’m so sleepy I can barely see to type.😂
I adore this series. I love watching the pairing of concept and polish. So many obscure days to commemorate! I was wondering what you would pick for Boxing Day (December 26)❓I read so many great suggestions on how to continue the series. I am sure there are other “special” days you could feature. There are religious and national holidays in many different cultures. There are carnivals and destinations and activities that can be enjoyed every month. You could feature PPU or Hella Handmade themes. Duping them or picking polishes and names that suit the monthly theme.
Give me some really good polishes in this one but then again when aren't there good polishes, lol! I really like the one called ball drop from ilnp! I don't know how I missed that one!
LOVE this series. Gives me inspiration and motivation every mth to look through what i have 😆 maybe add in international "Days"? 😂 eg 22 Feb is Cat Day in Japan; or add in fictional characters' birthdays
My faves: HT “Hydropower” (😮💨😮💨), Blue Topaz is so pretty! Kathleen “Release” ILNP “Last Call” (😮💨😮💨😮💨), ILNP “Penthouse” (😮💨😮💨😮💨I would love to have both the polish and apartment😚) Essie “Not Red-y For Bed” (😮💨😮💨) (I had no idea there was a flower named Narcissis!) ILNP “Cookie Cutter” HT “Brownie Points” (thank you for the tip about National Brownie Day on December 8th! I don’t need an excuse to eat brownies but I will use this one to have a few😅😅). (Lolol December 19th is National Hard Candy Day?? I love the randomness🤣) Cirque “Lucky” Jelly ILNP “Ball Drop”. I totally understand your worry of repeating shades in this series (but I personally do not mind), so maybe you could concentrate on one aspect of the month, flower, one quarter then stones. Also you could select shades of flowers and stones you think better represent the zodiac. Or you can stop, I come for the polish but stay for the Stephanie🥰
omg yess living in a penthouse sounds so cool! but i’ve seen videos where it gets reall stormy and you can feel the building shake and idk if i would be able to handle that 💀 and its been so long since i’ve had brownies!! someone recently shared a recipe with me so i might have to try and make some next weekend 👀🤤 and haha you’re too kind!! i know so many people are always going to be supportive no matter what and its always so appreciated 🥹 i think birthstones and flowers are definitely the more popular ones so i’m hoping to continue those!!
a short and sweet December installment! My qualm about polishing this month is that I'll be catsitting and I'm usually really considerate with wearing fragrance free things (for the sake of my partner, but also when being at places with cats). I do really want to polish though. :'>
i have had coconut milk eggnog from somewhere. my partner liked it, but i wasn't a fan. there was some kind of aftertaste for me that i hated haha. i'm actually thinking of trying to make eggnog out of oat milk, which is my favorite non-dairy milk right now.
ooh yeah i can see that being so hit or miss lol! i loove oat milk and did see some suggestions for one from Trader Joe’s i think called o’nog lol i’m curious to try that!
I don't know a lot about star signs, but I've never heard a Capricorn description that ever felt like me. I'm so non-competitive, and picked a job that has no ladder to climb.
sometimes people don’t identify with their sun sign! its a huge generalization but theres so many other placements and signs that can factor into our likes/dislikes/stereotypes etc!
I also wouldn’t mind a vid series of manicure recaps you wore during a certain month!!

Great idea & a practical suggestion!
Also, congrats on 9K subscribers, Stefanie!
I love this idea; it gives more breadth to the polishes that get spotlighted!

Aw that would be sweet! Will definitely consider that 🥰
Birthstone idea sounds fun. You’re my favorite tour guide in this wonderful world of polish. Looking forward to seeing whatever you choose to put out😊
aw thank you!! 🥹

yes i love this idea! the flowers are definitely fun inspiration too 🥰
Love this series and hope you continue it. I really like the idea of a dedicated theme. Birthstones would be great or flowers also.
thank you so much!! so glad you loved it :)
I loved it, the Sagittarius ones were perfect as one myself. I really loved the blue topaz shade you picked. I really enjoy that you try to do different content than just swatching videos, this included. Really loved that red, too.

yayy love having your approval! and ohh Chai Latte looks SO pretty 😍 the Color Club and Cirque are such great picks too!
there are definitely non dairy eggnogs out there, they’re really good!
I love nogs made with coconut milk especially! So creamy 😋
I cannot wait to try some!! 😋

Totally unrelated but i had a video request/idea
Red nails! I am intimidated by the color and would love to know your favorites
i made a video last year about my Favorite Reds!! you should see it under My Favorite Colors Playlist on my channel ♥️
As a December 19 baby, I had no idea it was hard candy day!!
omg yesss hope you celebrate with your fav candy!! 🥳😋
Give me some really good polishes in this one but then again when aren't there good polishes, lol! I really like the one called ball drop from ilnp! I don't know how I missed that one!
aw hehe thank you!! so glad you loved these 🥰 and that one is soo fun right! it shines over black 🤩

aw yeah thats kind of tough!! and its too cold to go outside and paint.. what about the bathroom? 😅 i would try to find a way to make it work lol 🤞🏼
Putting together collections inspired by Movie/tv shows, or the characters from them?
i have had coconut milk eggnog from somewhere. my partner liked it, but i wasn't a fan. there was some kind of aftertaste for me that i hated haha. i'm actually thinking of trying to make eggnog out of oat milk, which is my favorite non-dairy milk right now.

Trader Joe’s has a really tasty oat milk eggnog right now! They call it O’Nog
Omg that sounds delish!!!
Love this curation, as a December baby (the 24th, thus my name). FYI, I love Califia Farms Holiday Nog almond milk egg nog type drink, check it out!
Yay so glad you loved these!! And yay happy birthday month 🥳🥳 oh I’ll have to try that!! Thanks so much for the suggestion 😋
