Dressing up your nails for the holidays will have some staying power with gel polishes, so you can go to your holiday party and get ready for Christmas dinner with the fam in style.
The great thing about gel nails is that they last longer than other types of nails due to being cured under a UV light instead of air-drying.
This process is a tad more intensive, but the payoff is huge. Gel nails have a big staying power and often look glossier and more “finished” than other types of nails.
That means gel nails are a perfect choice to get you through the winter holiday months!
The Christmas season has so many symbols associated with it that your nail design choices are practically limitless. Paint some cute Santa hats on, and don’t forget the reindeer!
More subtle, classy things like holly, pine boughs, snowflakes, and multi-colored ball ornaments could also easily translate to your nail designs.
For a less in-your-face look, go for Christmassy colors like red, green, gold or any combination.
Still too on-the-nose for you? Use an unconventional base-coat color, like plum, with a gold glitter topcoat for some fancy holiday flair.
This chilly time of year is also perfect for exploring trends like velvet nails that usually boast dark, richer colors that can feel as special as the holidays.
If there is ever a time to bring out the color, texture and bling, Christmas is the time to do it since it’s right before New Year’s and smack dab in the middle of winter.
Gel nails allow you to showcase your designs all season long, so go for broke and let your light shine!
