CHRISTMAS RED

Red Christmas nails: yes, but... again?! Trust me, Santa Claus's uniform color can be anything but trivial. With a bit of creativity, you can transform it into unique Christmas nails.


For example, what do you think about a red French manicure? Even more original in its "reverse" variant, it's always a chic choice to flaunt throughout the Christmas season.

To recreate this inspo, we recommend the gel polish Red C55 as the main color. As a base under the French, the Fiber Base Confetto with Vitamins Hema-Free.

On the thumb, index, and middle fingers, we suggest using the gel polish Red C55 with a layer of Shelly C123 to achieve the glitter effect. 

To create the sugar stick, we recommend the Painting Gel White with the two colors C55 and C123. Under the nail art, the Fiber Base Confetto with Vitamins Hema-Free.

On the thumb, index, and middle fingers, we recommend using the gel polish Burgundy C63.

On the pinky, we suggest Christmas Red S036 as the main color and Painting Gel White for the fiocco of snow.

ENCHANTED FOREST

Imagine walking in a winter forest, among snowmen, mistletoe branches, frozen lakes, and expanses of fir trees. These elegant and bright Christmas nail ideas can create the same magic on your manicures.
