6 Holiday Nail Ideas We Love
1. Pearl or silver chrome. A soft, shiny finish that looks dressy with any outfit. Pearl chrome on an almond shape is one of our favorites.
2. Classic glossy red. Never out of style. Gel color keeps it shiny and chip-resistant through the parties.
3. French tips with a twist. Try a colored tip, a thin metallic line or tiny stars along the edge.
4. Hand painted details. Snowflakes, stars, little bows or a single accent nail. Our artists paint designs by hand.
5. Deep winter shades. Burgundy, emerald, navy and chocolate brown feel cozy and rich.
6. Soft florals. Delicate 3D flowers are perfect for winter weddings and holiday brunches.
