Christmas nails

Some colours possess incredible power: they always look great, are everyone’s favorite and instantly evoke certain occasions. Red is one of these colours - it’s THE colour par excellence when we think about festive make-up, decorations and, of course, Christmas-inspired nails. 
Unleash your desire for red nail polish - there are so many options to choose from and believe us when we say that choosing just one will be virtually impossible - and you’ll be partying the night away in no time! 

Play with different finishes if you want a single-hued, simple yet statement festive manicure: treat yourself to velvet-look nails with a top coat that instantly mattifies, create a gel-effect manicure with our special nail polishes or get ready to sparkle with all the reflections of a metallic lacquer. 

TIPS: 
Why not opt for a ring-finger manicure by alternating various shades of red or different effects? 

- Choose a shade and apply the selected colour to the nail on the ring finger only; paint the other four nails, for example, with a more intense colour. 

- Alternatively, focus on finishes: make just one nail matte and bestow a glossy look upon the others by applying a sheer or even glittery top coat.

Need another reason - we don’t really think you do - why Christmas is so special? You can indulge in adorable themed manicures! Let your creativity flow - the time has come to create the Christmas nail art you’ve been dreaming of! 
If you like snowy landscapes and see the appeal of ice, why not opt for a white or über-light gray nail polish before applying a glitter-effect top coat with gray or cool-tone reflections to the tip of the nail only? Add some glitter or snowflake-shaped stickers (of if you're dexterous enough, you can even draw your own with a blue nail polish).
Seeing stars everywhere you go? Rest assured they’ll look fabulous on your nails too! Draw them on all your nails - or on just some of them - using nail polishes in different colours and finishes for bases and decorations: you can use the classic five-point shape or even opt for something more reminiscent of a spark.
Can’t resist the sweetness of candy canes? Re-create them on your nails by drawing contrasting micro stripes! It’s super easy with our mini adhesive guides: simply stick them to your nails, apply your white nail polish on top of a red or golden base, wait for it to dry and gently remove. 

TIPS:
 
For a highly realistic effect, draw diagonal white lines.
    
Now, whichever Christmas-inspired nail look you’ve gone for, you will have no doubt created a masterpiece: don't risk thwarting your efforts - be sure to use a nail polish fixer so that your work of art stays looking flawless for longer.
