Also, thank you to all of the kind commenters who made me feel much better about my B+. I am a perfectionist and it's really hard to admit defeat. But, I am grateful it's not a B-, or a C, you know? I'm still waiting for my other grades.
So on to my holiday NOTD. I started with a base of OPI Dear Santa, which I wore for a full day before adding my bling. This is 3 coats of Dear Santa.
I was told by coworkers that it looked like I had wrapping paper on my nails!
I agree looking at this pic!
Then I was inspired by MUA user mariannaoust's interpretation of a gradient holiday mani and nihrida's tutorial for shooting stars. I used a Color Club mini silver glitter (from one of the mini kits), then Color Club Under the Mistletoe, and last Color Club Object of Envy. I put a dollop or two of the chosen glitter and then immediately brushed it out over the nail using Orly Smudge Fixer. I topped everything off with a coat of Nubar Diamont. I am totally in love with this mani and very proud!!
See the snow? We got 2-3 feet!
Next to my (faux) X-mas tree.
And a few bonus pics of my 2 kitties watching the snow fall.

You can purchase Orly Smudge Fixer as well as the glitters I used above from pretty much any of the major e-tailers.
Thanks for reading and have a great holiday!
