If you’re getting them! I have just done a nail tech course and hoping to earn a little bit extra this Christmas and beyond and I’m wondering what colours to buy. I’ve got a shimmery red and a glittery green. I’m looking at a silver and a gold glitter too. Any others you are tempted by that I could buy to get people tempted to get their nails done this Christmas.

Think this would be better in chat…….

solid red.

Red and white and one or two of them will have a different shade of red, with a white blob for a bobble hat a la Santa.

@19lottie82 who made you the forum police? Christ OP, don't apologise to her! Post where you want - who cares?

I'd go solid red, midnight blue, black and glitters too

Actually just googled and it works really well on pale French manicure pink.

I would only do one or two and skip the sparkly chip.

TimeForFika · 17/11/2022 17:05

Oo I fancy gold and sparkly.

SirenSays · 17/11/2022 17:06

I'm probably going to do silver snowflakes and either candy canes or snowmen statement nails

CanYouFeelMyHeart · 17/11/2022 17:06

Black. Goes with everything, looks awesome, suits my all year round middle aged emo vibes 🖤

catsonahottinroof · 17/11/2022 17:12

I might have a soft red with gold details on some fingers next time, which might last until Christmas.
Other ideas from what people I know are thinking of: navy blue with a slight sparkle effect with silver stars nailart on some fingers, cream with gold snowflakes on some fingers, dark red, dark green. Definitely get silver and gold for nailart etc.

I’m a nail tech. sparkly red and gold are always the favourites, year after year.

Stressedmum2017 · 17/11/2022 17:40

I'm gonna get like a real frosty blue with the powder and some gems! Will change them again before christmas though will probably have white and gold chrome.

OoooohMatron · 17/11/2022 17:41

I'm thinking sparkly red with gold tips.

BashfulClam · 17/11/2022 17:42

Red and white candy cane stripes.
