Or have you just painted them yourself? Or do you not bother getting them done for Christmas at all? Let's have a look Smile

I'm getting mine done tomorrow I'm still unsure what colour I'll see what I like from this post!

Muchtoomuchtodo · 22/12/2021 11:41

I don’t bother. I can’t wear nail varnish at work so it’s a waste of time

Got mine done for a wedding I was supposed to be at yesterday but couldn't go to as we were awaiting PCR results.

Here's mine, I've gone black with silver glitter overlay (I only wear silver jewellery) and decided this would go with everything ! It does and I'm very pleased ! Had all of them filed down so that they can grow all together hopefully !

Really? is this a thing? I've never had my nails done (by anyone) in my life. I file them at home and use my own polish.

goodlucksoonplease · 22/12/2021 11:49

I'm meant to be getting mine done later but my 4 year old insisted he would do them for me 😂

I've just bitten all mine off with stress! 🤣

I'm getting mine done later today.

I haven’t this year but these are definitely my favourites from the past few Christmases! Sort of a semi sheer chrome, not sure how best to describe them but they were beautiful 😍

I can’t have them for work but I’m off for a clear two weeks so have treated myself. I love them

Blue and gold for Xmas - to match my Xmas day dress and new sapphire ring - which is waiting under the tree 😊

I did mine last night - black OPI with a glittery gold Essie topcoat.

Mackmama · 22/12/2021 12:40

Yes, definitely, dark red with glitter for me! We’re not really going anywhere much for Christmas but it was a bit of a treat. I’ve also booked an appointment for January for something to look forward to!

Well, quite 😂 what a stupid comment Confused

GinIronic · 22/12/2021 12:45

I have chosen a simple dark pink with a bit of glitter this year. Last year I had a full “deck the halls” set and they were on for weeks due to lockdowns etc. Grin

Icequeen01 · 22/12/2021 12:47

I was supposed to get mine done today (and my hair last Saturday). I've had to cancel both as I've got Covid. Good job no-ones going to see me. I look a right fright with my grey roots and gel nail polish from 3 weeks ago half way down my nail and it's starting to lift 😢😢

HollyandIvyandAllThingsYule · 22/12/2021 12:50

Yes...of course this is a thing.

@goodlucksoonplease I’m doing my own this year (if I can be bothered), in which case I’ll use a burgundy colour. I’ve had gel manicures at the salon in the past in which case I always go for a lovely deep warm red with some sparkle in it.

TheFallenMadonna · 22/12/2021 12:52

Black with glitter on top. Shellac because I cannot be trusted with anything else.

@FreezeYourBrain they look like they could do some damage!! Lovely colour but what makes you go for the spikes??

Helpimfalling · 22/12/2021 12:58

Trying to decide if I should go for infills before Xmas....

Advice greatly appreciated.
