Do you have 'Christmas nails'

[MrsKingfisher]

What are you going for this year? I'd love to be more adventurous but anything glitter or luminous freaks me out so I'm a short with nude a red or a dark red nail wearer.

Always dark red. I hate sparkle and glitter

Normally dark red but haven't had extensions since lockdown, might buy glittery red normal polish for me and dp's dd who coming for a few days

Heaps of things you can play with outside of glitter. Stamping plates, transfers and foils, ombre etc Have a look on YouTube.

I’m mulling over whether to go for dark green and to order some gold flakes to go on them, or just leave as a cream finish, or dark grey with a slight silver glitter ombré. Trying to have a change from my usual festive red this year.

I do my own with normal polish, and this week have OPI Heart and Coal. It’s a charcoal grey glitter, but very subtle sparkle.

Mrskingfisher - I started he same thread at the same time as you. Coincidence!

Looks like red is popular and subtle sparkle.

The same every year! It used to be called Ruby ritz but it's not sold anymore I think so my nail technician recreates it with a lovely red and sparkle on top

@Judystilldreamsofhorses that’s a lovely colour and I’ve been looking for something similar. Does it have a ‘bumpy’ finish though?
I like a very smooth finish on mine.

@Namerchanger42 you definitely need a topcoat over it.

Nail wraps - baubles and glitter

Have also bought nail polish wraps for the cheesy festive angle.

This jazzy Rimmel one was a fiver in Sainsbury’s this week.

What's new/in this year?

I'm booked in for 19th December and will be having these

Did these fun ones this week - really easy to do

These are mine. A French manicure ombré with glitter and a snowflake on each ring finger

Mine. Sparkle and glitter
All but one are my natural nails

I have a wonderful nail tech and I love having fun nails. I’ve got a red and green set, with lots of sparkle, snowflakes and candy canes. Classy, it is not. Festive, fun and beautiful by the bucketload.

I hardly ever do anything to my nails, but they are horribly splitty and rubbish at the moment, so I've done them very dark blackish red. I just use normal nail varnish - I've never had false nails, gel nails etc and I don't even know what foils and wraps are really.

Am a tad jealous I hardly wear nail varnish, work in a hospital and it's not permitted unfortunately 😕

I like a very deep red with glitter.
