My Top 12 Holiday Nail Polish Picks from Cirque (and new LE topper!) || KELLI MARISSA

[@cynthiahachey5816]

12 polishes for 12 days of Christmas. Perfect.

[@KelliMarissa]

Haha! I wish I could say I planned that! 😅

[@BeyondPolish]

We are fine with your top 12 instead of 10. The more the merrier! We always recommend Cirque Colors to our customers. They have such amazing selections!!

[@Shell.Manicured]

I couldn't pass up getting Au with the discount. Very excited to add it to my collection!

[@KelliMarissa]

Right?! So excited to see the discount code works for it because seriously more people need Au in their lives!!

[@Pookiebear0625]

As soon as I saw that snow angel topper I legit flew to the cirque site 😆 FLEW! I don't think my fingers ever moved so fast before!

[@FrancesBaconandEggs]

I would definitely add Halcyon-it looks both classy and exciting!

[@ZilaidaK]

Oohh, Halcyon is my absolute favorite to wear in holiday nail art! It’s so incredibly sparkly! ✨

[@judithhershkowitz7093]

Thank you for mentioning Hanukkah! That was very thoughtful and special...Hanukkah gets lost during the holiday season.

[@KelliMarissa]

Haha of course! Gotta represent my people 😄

[@HaikuMarionette]

Emerald and sapphire are two of my favorites. A Year without a Santa Clause is the movie I have to watch every Christmas! Very nostalgic and a wonderful movie!

[@winnies2393]

Big fan of Christmas movies! I always watch Elf, Home Alone, The Holiday, The Santa Claus movies, the original Grinch cartoon! They bring me so much joy every single year!

[@Magearod]

You've got Lapis Lazuli right! I LOVE that polish. I got it this spring to go to an Ancent Egypt exhibit. Lapis the stone was used lots in Ancent Egypt. It's got a phenomenal formula!

[@beaherzberg]

It gives me so much joy that you bought a nail polish to wear to an exhibit! 🎉

[@PennyHyde]

Love your videos. Been watching forever. Just wanted to add one more - Snozzberry! I already had it out and ready to apply tonight. Loved it when I wore it last year & even though I have a ton to choose from, I just had to get it on my nails now that our Christmas decorating has begun. And I think the name is adorable, too!

[@katelynp12]

Voting for Die Hard after seeing your comments! Not here to argue whether it’s a Christmas movie, I was just delighted to see Alan Rickman - it was his film debut at age 41! How cool.

[@KelliMarissa]

Haha! I really do want to see it, maybe December will finally be the time!

[@jeannellewilliams6172]

Thank you for standing up against bigots💕, breaks my heart that people are so hateful and closed minded in 2022🥺 I love Peridot from Cirque, also really want to try AU. October I have to watch Hocus Pocus, Twitches and Nightmare before Christmas 😊

[@Christine__D]

Just because one doesn't think children need to be exposed to adult entertainment doesn't make one a bigot.

[@_maxgray]

I was trying to resist buying more nail polish right now, but you made these polishes look so gorgeous! So excited for my order, especially the new exclusive topper - you're the only creator I've seen swatch it!

[@jesslynbitters9768]

Storm King is a perfect winter shade. I love it.

[@Sarahs15681]

Thank you for including Hanukkah colors!!!

[@KelliMarissa]

Of course! 🙂 Always happy to represent my own holiday!

[@hockeysteph]

Cirque has great customer service! I placed an order after watching this video and accidentally submitted the order before applying the coupon code. I contacted Cirque right away about this and though there was a short delay because of the Thanksgiving holiday, they reached out today to let me know they refunded me the 20%. This type of service and a quick reply, even during a holiday weekend, is so greatly appreciated and a nice surprise. Cirque is a small business and it's clear how much they appreciate their customers. Love this! I definitely recommend them very highly!

[@mnn-np5li]

I grabbed Tutti Frutti based on your review and love it so much!!!! I won’t buy any polish without checking your videos first. The way you describe the colors let’s us know exactly how the colors will look, so there are no surprises. I’ve gotten so many from your reviews and have yet to be disappointed. That wasn’t the case before I found your channel! Thanks so much for all the work you put into your videos. ❤

[@kelseymacdonald5216]

Also because of your constant raving of AU in some of you videos I will now have AU in my collection!! Cannot wait to do jelly sandwiches with it like you did in your last video!

[@KelliMarissa]

Omg yay I can't WAIT for you to see it in real life! Seriously, videos don't compare!!

[@lauratarkenton4869]

Sashay and Emerald are my fave but Peridot instantly reminded me of the perfect Grinch color! 😂

[@861LJ]

Tutti Frutti reminds me of a cozy fire in a fireplace!

[@amandavanbaelen6825]

I can picture Christmas tree nail art already.

[@theMermaidRhonda]

I love Lapis Lazuli! Gorgeous! One of my fave holiday movies is One Starry Christmas from Hallmark..it's SO GOOD!

[@opalviking]

I have loved cirque for a while now. I just bought a bunch of their re-launch magnetic polishes. I’m obsessed 😅 Edit: Peridot practically begs for Grinch nail art and now I’m off to the website 💞

[@Claire21438]

Love silver linings. Looks great over everything. I’ve worn over green, blue, pink, purple and nudes. It is so smooth and doesn’t leave a texture in the nail.

[@AnaVega24]

I hope you have a wonderful day☺️. My favorite Christmas movie to watch is probably The Holiday, it just makes me feel so cozy❤️.

[@katieeder6143]

12 is perfect, just like the 12 days of Christmas. 🎄

[@djangodebango1366]

AU is just what ive been looking for! Wearing "ilnp abundance" right now that shifts from a golden yellow to golden brown leaf color and that topper is just the thing to push this up a notch for the thanksgiving holiday.

[@katieallen1273]

Kelli, you seem so much better! I hope you’re feeling better! ❤

[@laurelloaf]

What I wouldn’t give for a silver version of Au!!!

[@KelliMarissa]

Omg same!!!

[@fieldsofheather_]

Fine! I'll buy them all. ❤️🎄 I'm excited for this nail mail, but especially for the LE Snow Angel.

[@KelliMarissa]

It's SO gorgeous, I can't wait to do nail art with it!

[@kathleendavid1035]

Omg! Christmas Vacation!!!! Can’t have Christmas without it. 😂

[@KelliMarissa]

I only just watched the Las Vegas one for the first time last month haha!

[@lynnevetter]

Peridot is great for like Grinch nail art too. Love it.

[@beckyschmidt8347]

Peridot is perfect for some Grinch nail art!! Also, Reflektor is my favorite metallic foil ever. I can always find a reason to wear it 😁

[@jen8778]

Love the picks, Kelli! I'm shopping the stash this holiday, so Rothko Red is my 'moody Christmas red', and Night Fever makes for an awesome New Years shade. Top both with XX for more sparkle! As for Christmas flick faves --- I tend to watch Die Hard, The Ref (hilarious movie!), The Preacher's Wife, The Holiday, those stop motion Christmas films, and Home Alone 2 almost every year. I used to love A Christmas Story, but I got burned out on it when they played it constantly on cable, lol.

[@coleentowery5370]

Sashay is gorgeous. Peridot screams grinch to me lol. Love a blue with snowmen and snowflakes. That AU topper is gorgeous. I have Sunkist, which I like, but not even close to AU. Thanks for the video

[@KelliMarissa]

Yay glad you liked my picks Coleen! I'm excited to dive into the holiday nail art for the season 🥰

[@julesj77]

Hi Kelli, can you do a video on your favourite pearlised polishes one day please 🙏🏻 ❤

[@smasnowflake]

I have to watch Elf every year at Christmas time! It's just such a happy holiday movie. 😊

[@KelliMarissa]

Oh that is a cute one! I should rewatch it!!

[@meisbrenda]

I bought Reflektor because you recommended it on another video and GIRLLLL… I LOVE IT! It’s the sparkliest nail polish I own. Thank you Kelli for sharing more Cirque favorites with us 😍

[@juliarose0912]

I bought it too because of her swatch, but my bottle is silver- not champagne at all. Did you have this issue?

[@meisbrenda]

@@juliarose0912 In the beginning I thought it was silver but then I realized it shines champagne at some lights.

[@jaimieswindler7450]

Talked myself into getting AU threw in peridot and rouge Rockefeller and boom free snow angel. Thanks for the heads up on sale and stackable deal. Plan to save snow angel for first snow day off from school. Love the look of the snowflakes.

[@lynnskala3947]

Kelli, everytime you wear grey it looks so pretty on you. 👍

[@kayleighThePlantMom]

Love these favourites videos so much, I’ll know exactly what to buy :)

[@braydenisstillhere]

LOVE this color selection!! Cirque really creates some unique and wearable shades. How cool would it be if they made a silver version of Au??🙊

[@KelliMarissa]

I would literally die of excitement!!

[@madeleinegombert661]

MERRY CHRISTMAS and HAPPY NEW YEAR KELLI 🎄. The green polishes . The others are beautiful also.

[@KelliMarissa]

Merry Christmas Madeleine! 🥰

[@AmyLSchulte]

Peridot all the way. I would love to wear green nails and eyeshadow everyday but I feel guilty for ignoring all the other colors. 😂 The Santa Clause is my new classic.

[@theDeadliestPants]

I like to say Lapis Lazooli. Because it's more fun. You are not doing me any favors by showing off all of these awesome colors that I want to buy. :D Also, Cirque should introduce an Elements line with Ag to go with Au. Maybe some Cu with a pretty green petina?

[@KelliMarissa]

I would literally LOVE to see an Ag polish!! I dream of it!

[@bluebluemoon3835]

I caved and got the advent calendar! even though I have several cirque polishes, I didn’t have any from the calendar. I can’t wait to see the tiny bottles ☺️

[@KelliMarissa]

Omg theyre seriously the cutest thing ever. Just you wait!!

[@Delia8Lee]

Hi Kelli, just came here to recommend the brand Colores de Carol. Pls review them. They have stunning flake polishes that you might like. 🙏🏼

[@KelliMarissa]

They're on my list of brands to check out 🥰

[@bees_nail_art82]

I like those too

[@19leg]

Agree! Everything they make is amazing

[@char_fenton]

when i went to get a bottle of AU recently, i also grabbed the new verdigris jelly & velvet rope (a glowy blood orange/goldy/reddy shimmer), they make all make great holiday combos, despite velvet rope being from one of their summer collections originally i think!

[@KelliMarissa]

Omg yes! Velvet Rope almost made it to this list too, it's so stunning for the holidays imo!! But I already had too many favorites LOL

[@kezplays5985]

Welp, this convinced me to go for a couple of colors I wanted in general to also get Snow Angel. I’m absolutely going to do a jelly sandwich with that and Cocoa Jelly for some winter vibes later.

[@dawnmolloy9351]

Love the Peridot!!

[@parisinthe30sx]

Lapis lazuli honestly looks just like a lapis stone. So pretty

[@JeniferJamesFarrell]

I literally just placed an order in order to use the discount on Au! I was also happy to get that LE Topper. ☺️

[@KelliMarissa]

SO excited that the discount code works for Au because seriously it is SO worth getting!!!

[@KnightOfCydonia18]

Looove the facets polishes too 😍 I wish i could get my hands on snow angel but I only get my cirque polishes from stockists to avoid taxes and shipping cost.. oh well, hopefully they’ll re release it in the future 🥺🥺🥺

[@stilna1504]

Christmas Vacation, Home Alone, Love Actually, and Elf. 💚

[@xpresson6338]

Kelli, Lapis Lazuli is a Latin word and how you said Google recommends it ( you did say it perfectly) is exactly right.

[@KelliMarissa]

Haha! Thanks for letting me know! I definitely would have thought the emphasis was on the ZOO part if I didn't google it, so I was wary lol!

[@ipekgumus2597]

“Au” is my favorite top coat❤

[@debroahkayross4367]

You look like a Christmas elf. So beautiful

[@KelliMarissa]

Haha oh my gosh thank you Debroah! That's so funny, Ryan always calls me an elf too 😂

[@frankraddi6872]

That sashay red looks so pretty!

[@erinwhepley4628]

Not me just getting my recent cirque order in the mail today 😂 I should've been patient!!

[@KelliMarissa]

Haha! Honestly they're always coming out with gorgeous stuff and it's hard to wait and see what else is coming, so I feel ya 👀

[@OliviaZeller28]

Every Christmas I watch Love Actually❤ it’s a great Christmas movie

[@KelliMarissa]

Ooh I've never seen that one believe it or not haha!!

[@owl8664]

I don't own any cirque colors polishes but I love how sashay and sapphire look! Also eyeing silver linings and AU.

[@kathyperkov5939]

I don’t tend to wear green or blue nail polish but I love that Emerald and the Sapphire. Might have to branch out of my comfort zone. I love the movie ‘The Holiday’ or ‘Love actually’. Thanks for your great tips xoxo

[@hisamazingg]

Not really holiday colors, but I used the 20% discount to get three of the bring it back polishes (Dream Within a Dream, Mood Ring, and Paradox) that you swatched a few videos ago. They are going to be my first magnetic polishes, I'm excited!!

[@KelliMarissa]

You are gonna have SO much fun with them! I've been obsessed with doing the aura/crystal style of magnetizing lately. It's a little trickier but once you get the hang of magnetizing, you have to try it!!

[@theEumenides]

Christmas movies: It's A Wonderful Life, Nightmare Before Christmas, Home Alone, and Die Hard. I can highly recommend all of them.

[@KelliMarissa]

Ooh I will say I LOVE Nightmare Before Christmas but I tend to watch it around Halloween! But I didn't this year so it'll have to be a December movie for me!

[@theEumenides]

It's a Halloween and Christmas movie for me. 😊 Jack discovering Christmas Town is just the perfect embodiment of the joy and wonder of Christmas.

[@nicolelavigne1700]

I love your picks, though sadly I don't own any of them. I'd love to see that special topper over Sapphire or some snowflake nail art. Sadly I won't be picking any up though. Some of my favourite holiday polishes are from Nine Zero Lacquer. Fully Decked is the perfect christmas tree with decorations polish.

[@DefyAllLogic]

Your eyeshadow is AMAZING 🤩

[@KelliMarissa]

Oh gosh thank you so much! I felt like I didn't do such a great job on it in this video but that makes me feel so much better 😅💜

[@DefyAllLogic]

@@KelliMarissa I wasn't even five minutes in and had to comment. Be gone, imposter syndrome!

[@beeshippiemusica3164]

Awww......omg! I LOVE tutti frutti!

[@justjackie3792]

I love that sapphire color!

[@Amateur.Nail.Art.1]

Cirque Colors Snow Angel would be perfect for a winter night sky gradient with snow falling with some silhouetted trees. Like snowfall at night in the forest like you are watching the snowfall from a winter cabin window during twilight.

[@CynsAngel]

So I went on several different websites including a jeweler's website and the pronunciation of Peridot is pronounced like Pera Dot, so there you go everyone. So Kelli I saw the lime green polish and the first thing I said wouldn't that look great with ornament balls on it, I was thinking that Xmas tree lights would look awesome on the Emerald, man I want that polish so bad! Oh, also either one would look amazing with Neon Polishes. So, Hugs and Love Kelli have a marvelous Tuesday!

[@ezragoggles2460]

I wish a company would just make a green & red glitter topper 😢 that’s all I want. Like a collection with standard glitter toppers. Red/Green. Also blue & silver & a gold. But every year I wear the grinch green glitter from China Glaze with the multi color glitter topper. Reminds me of a Christmas tree lol. Nice picks girl! Love the blues! I need to get AU still.

[@KelliMarissa]

Orly just came out with a red and green confetti topper!!

[@ezragoggles2460]

@@KelliMarissa oh shoot!!! I didn’t know that! Imma go check it out

[@bexxington759]

Hey! Love your videos, these were all so beautiful - the lighter green glitter polish is so Grinchy, that's what makes it Christmasy for me! Also, I'm not the pronunciation police, just offering what I've heard. Lapis Lazuli - La-piss La-zoo-lee

[@lynnevetter]

also, if you have not seen Daddy's Home 2.. it is the perfect christmas movie! You don't necessarily need to watch the first one.

[@echobend6]

My Christmas movie picks every year are Christmas in Connecticut(a black and white film from the 40’s but fun and funny), The Holiday and Trapped in Paradise.

[@juliarose0912]

Peridot is so totally grinch green!

[@KelliMarissa]

YES! I had a brain fart and didn't mention that but you are 100% right! Grinch green is seriously my favorite Christmas color lol!

[@danamarie0424]

Reflektor & Sunkissed on my list but nail budget coming to a low buy/no buy. Teenage boys want expensive stuff but they come first. It’s very hard with all the sales but it is what it is. Thanks for the recommendations!

[@KelliMarissa]

Totally understand! I love that though, you're going to give them such a great holiday 🥰🥰

[@rockchik409]

The one thats become a "recent" tradition is leaving on, "A Christmas Story" in background all day. I used to watch all the classic movies as a kid like the Charlie Brown one and those old stop motion ones like Rudolph. I kinda want to watch Die Hard for the meme of it though lol.

[@KelliMarissa]

I do think it's finally time for me to see Die Hard too LOL

[@maryhelen7588]

I don't know if they still make it - but Cirque Galinda has long been my go-to "snow" topper.

[@kjslaw5257]

White Christmas, The Holiday. While I Was Sleeping is good, too.

[@KelliMarissa]

Ooh I did actually just watch The Holiday randomly on my last plane ride! But I didn't see the end 😂 Maybe I need to rewatch!

[@theseinstrumentals]

Will you make a general holiday faves? I don’t like movies but I enjoy watching holiday episodes of my favorite sitcoms like Seinfeld and that 70s show. You keep talking about this au I might have to grab it lol

[@KelliMarissa]

Yes definitely! I will do a top 10 across all brands once I get all of the holiday collections reviewed!!

[@iijellydog]

Peridot is obviously supposed to be pronounced peridot and not peridot

[@KelliMarissa]

So true 😂

[@KeyboneN]

I have to have the lapis lazuli and the Peridot!! I got the AU already (no discount) when you posted the 2022 holiday edition. Thank you for posting.

[@KelliMarissa]

Ooh what do you think of it?? Definitely one of my favorite polishes of all time!!!

[@KeyboneN]

@@KelliMarissa The AU is so beautiful in person. I got it today and can't wait to wear it.

[@lmgreen86]

Hi Kelly, love your vids, first time commenting because I usually watch on my tv 😁 have you ever done a video comparing all the black/dark grey/dark brown starrily glitter polishes? I don't know which one to grab!

[@KelliMarissa]

Ooh I haven't but I love that video idea! They really have such a great range haha.

[@randomharts]

National Lampoons Christmas Vacation, Elf, the Christmas Story, and the original Miracle on 34th Street. Clearly, I’m into Christmas a bit more than other holidays🤣🎄🎅🏻 Oh yeah and It’s a Wonderful Life with Jimmy Stewart…I kinda like the really old films😉

[@KelliMarissa]

Haha! I guess I need to start watching some movies!!

[@DanieShout]

I passed up Au in order to get as much from the facets collection as possible :p I can't wait to paint Christmas tree nails with Emerald and Peridot!

[@KelliMarissa]

I looooooove the Facets shades seriously!! You're gonna love them!

[@briagreen2951]

Good morning 💗

[@bees_nail_art82]

Nice colours

[@KelliMarissa]

Agreed!!

[@kjslaw5257]

I ordered the Very Valentino today!!

[@KelliMarissa]

Omg such a gorgeous one! I bet you're gonna love it!!

[@ritarabaa8338]

Very nice colors ❤

[@KelliMarissa]

Glad you like my picks Rita!

[@26Bluegb]

White Christmas (Bing Crosby!), Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, and Grinch (Animated). Wish list of Christmas movies: Nestor the Long-Eared Donkey, and The Claymation one with Rex and Herb.

[@aprilh200]

Loved these colors, would like if you did this for other nail polish makers

[@KelliMarissa]

I definitely will! I'm just trying to decide if I want to do a top 10 of all time for each of my fave brands, or do seasonal picks like this video 😂

[@lineyloveslacquer]

Omg you should watch Jingle All The Way even though it’s so dated now!😆

[@KelliMarissa]

I dont even think I've heard of it tbh 😂 what's it about??

[@lineyloveslacquer]

@@KelliMarissa It has Arnold Schwarzenegger in it and he’s a dad trying to get his kid this really sought-after toy and things… things just get wild lol. I think he’s been a crappy dad and he already told his wife he had gotten the toy too so he’s super desperate to find it. I enjoyed it a lot as a kid for whatever reason😆

[@KelliMarissa]

@@lineyloveslacquer omg wait you just unlocked a memory for me, I DID see that when I was a kid! It was amazing 😂 I don't think I ever knew what it was called but I was randomly thinking of that movie last year!!!

[@mariamocha2991]

The glitz the glamour of cirque. They really bring it🎄✨Dont hv access to computer so using my mom's phone. Love the christmas hat. I was born december 12 so Im all abt the santa vibe haha -natalie moon😭🌓⭐🌠❄🎅

[@KelliMarissa]

Ooh that's such a fun birthday Natalie!! December is a great month hehe 🥰

[@sharibc3597]

I wish I’d seen this before I placed my order! I’d have added a few more colors! 😂 I got 2 of the Christmas colors sashay and au

[@annemarie1454]

I am not into gels and powders, they are too hard and harsh to take off. I love the traditional, old fashion naiil lacquer, even though they are not as long lasting. When I'm done painting my nails, I use body lotion instead of cuticle oil. I have noticed that the enamel chips a lot less this way. The lotion might prevent the polish from becoming too brittle. It seems to me it gets partially absorbed making the polish somewhat more flexible and durable.

[@eponinesg]

Definitely getting Sapphire so I can top it with snow angel. I just got my last cirque order with AU(like literally 20 minutes before you posted this video), it's as cool as you've always told us it is! Thanks for this video, I was going to pass on the cirque sale but I'm a sucker for tote bags and exclusive gifts!

[@KelliMarissa]

AHH I'm so excited you got it! Seriously I don't even think videos do it justice. It's honestly the most elegant polish I own, it's STUNNING. But I'm also glad you see the vision with Sapphire and Snow Angel because I wasn't sure if that would be too much 😂

[@eponinesg]

@@KelliMarissa omg not too much at ALL. I also got a Hanukkah plate from Maniology during some sale over the summer and now I'm planning a manicure using Sapphire, Snow Angel, and probably a silver stamp... 🤔

[@KelliMarissa]

@@eponinesg YES!! I love it already 🤣 everyone always says Hanukkah is blue and gold/yellow but to me it's such a blue and silver holiday vibe!! Lol

[@eponinesg]

@@KelliMarissa um if they think it's blue and gold then why is the Hanukkah wrapping paper at Target always blue and silver!? I think we and Target are in the right here!

[@meeprific]

Sigh. Of course I put in an order two weeks ago and missed this sale. Such is life.

[@margaretsparksrittenhouse8787]

I don’t have any of your pick metal toppers but I do have Cirque Potosi, a silver fleck topper from Cirque’s first collection way back when. I do have Rouge Rockefeller, Sapphire, and one you didn’t pick Ruby, which are all good for holiday time. Christmas movies, I have three I watch every year: Bad Santa (crude rude) The Ref, and Christmas Story. All three are comedies, so no sappy Christmas movies for me. (I can not tolerate It’s a Wonderful Life.)

[@KelliMarissa]

Ohhh I would LOVE to see Cirque do a rerelease of their original polishes, wouldn't that be so fun?? I only started using them in maybe 2014 but I have some really gorgeous discontinued shades I'd love to see again!! (And yesss Ruby is a favorite of mine too because it's my birthstone! But I always find myself wearing it in July haha!)

[@lesliecarranza6078]

Looking cute with your santa hat 😊

[@KelliMarissa]

Hehe thanks Leslie!!

[@daniellecline1047]

Would you ever consider putting a silver fleck topper over a hollow?
