Have you had your nails done for Christmas?

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

@Kim82 I think yours are my favourites 😍
I'm so inspired by all of these to book in to get some nail art done next year.

Shorter than I'd like because I ruined them having gel on for too long but rose gold glitter. Envious of all the gorgeous nail art here!

Oh I missed the deleted post. Was it someone saying we are all frivolous capitalist anti feminists? Or a different rake?

Gone for black and red with sparkles. Will probably redo it today as it seems mad rather than particularly festive!

@MrsTimRiggins these are lovely and elegant
@NewBeta but then i really like yours too for classic red!

I have never had my nails shellac/gels but they look really lovely.

Maybe for New Year. Are they expensive? I'd probably just ask them to paint my own nails as i don't get on with extensions.

I love the variety of colours and patterns though!

@AndARiverBeneathYourFeet

Everyone's nails look very pretty.

i'm going to paint mine gold but I keep them short so I can eat chocolate cake without getting it under them

Quite right

These are mine - pinky nude with silver glitter.

@MrsHa - I love those nails! What colour is the red you used?

EventOfTheSeason · 22/12/2021 17:07

These are all so christmassy! I have some sparkly nail wraps that I'll put on on Christmas Eve once the food prep is done.

@AmandaKnocks

A bit of sparkle for Christmas 🤩
@AmandaKnocks my wedding nails were like that 😊
AuntieMarys · 22/12/2021 17:13

I hate sparkles and glitter so mine are just red

5thHelena · 22/12/2021 17:17

Yep!

Christmas is the one time I occasionally paint my nails, though I often can be bothered! I'll be away for days staying with family, so I won't have time to be re-doing them when they inevitably chip after 24hrs! So I think I might just pit some glittery top coat in for a bit of low-maintenahce festive sparkle!

Minesnotahighhorse · 22/12/2021 18:32

Red with gold French tips, done with gels. The ring finger is sparkly but it's really subtle so wish I'd gone for sparkle on every nail!

Instagram pic stolen from nail technician - they are my nails!

FelicityBeedle · 22/12/2021 18:38

@Minesnotahighhorse
I love them, even with the very subtle sparkle, very classy

Thought I was being clever getting mine done last weekend. Have already chipped them massively doing washing up and other stuff. Argh.

HollyandIvyandAllThingsYule · 22/12/2021 19:29

@ceeveebee love the plum! Another of my favourite shades.
