Christmas gel polish colours
Red and burgundy – the Christmas classic
Nothing says Christmas like red. Choose a classic red with a cherry undertone 100, intense 101, poppy red 102 or deeper shades: dark cherry burgundy 124 and burgundy red with a cherry note 132. For red with sparkle, try festive red with gold shimmer 909, cherry with a pink shine 910 and red with a flash effect 957.
Gold, silver and holo
Warm rose gold with gold shimmer 903, gold flash 960, pearly glow with silver shimmer 900, metallic silver 918, holo effect 904 and 913 Princess Holo with large holographic shimmer. The transparent Flash 978 with gold-green shimmer can go over any colour to add a festive glow.
Bottle green and navy
Deep bottle green 316 brings to mind a Christmas tree and combines beautifully with gold. An elegant alternative is navy: 334 Deep Navy or starry-sky navy with a flash effect 959.
Milky shades for festive nail art
For a delicate Christmas: milky pink 002, 012 Milky Rose, milky white 008 Creamy Cloud, milky white with opalescent shimmer 962 Candy Sky and a light milky flash 955. White snowflakes, jumper designs and gold details look great on a milky background.
Cat eye and chocolate browns
For festive evenings, cat eye gel polishes work well – cherry red shading into burgundy 969, red with a hint of brown 968 and silver 977 with pink-opalescent shimmer – as do the chocolate browns 827 and 828.
Christmas nails – nail set ideas
The most popular Christmas nails are red with gold shimmer on one nail, bottle green with gold, milky pink with white snowflakes and 3D jumper designs. For clients who prefer subtlety, suggest a milky background with delicate holo or a nude with a thin gold line. You can create Christmas motifs – trees, stars, snowflakes – quickly with the Christmas time stamping plate or the winter madness nail stickers. You'll find more ideas in the post Christmas nails.
Fashionable Christmas nails – inspiration
A Christmas manicure doesn't have to be loud. Alongside classic red Christmas nails, minimalist nail sets are increasingly chosen: a subtle French manicure with a gold or red tip, milky nails with a single bauble or star on an accent nail, and delicate festive designs on nude. Clients who like elegance happily choose green Christmas nails in bottle green with gold shimmer, and fans of the winter mood go for silver, white and icy holo. You can create any of these ideas with the gel polishes in this category, combining reds, golds and greens in one nail set.
New Year's Eve nails – black, silver and flash
For New Year's Eve, clients want sparkle. Black with shimmer 907 Moonlit Night, black with a gold accent 908, silver and holo, and the gel polishes from the Flash collection all work well – their particles light up in the light of a camera flash, so the nail set looks spectacular in party photos.
Nail plate prep and applying Christmas gel polish
Before applying colour, prepare the cuticles, buff the nail plate, degrease it with a nail cleanser and apply a base. Every NessaUV lac gel polish comes in an 8 ml bottle with high pigmentation and a shaped brush that makes application easy, right up to the cuticles. Shake gel polishes with shimmer before use so the glitter spreads evenly through the colour. Over the festive season a nail set has to put up with a lot – when worked over a base and top coat, a gel polish manicure usually looks neat for 2–3 weeks.
- ♥ apply a gel polish base and cure it in the lamp
- ♥ spread a thin layer of colour and cure: 120 seconds in a 36W UV lamp or 30 seconds in a 48W DUAL LED lamp
- ♥ apply a second thin layer for full colour or denser glitter
- ♥ create the nail art and seal the nail set with a top coat
Christmas gel polish – frequently asked questions
Which gel polish colours should I choose for Christmas? Classic red, burgundy, bottle green, gold and silver. For a delicate nail set – milky shades with nail art.
Which gel polish for New Year's Eve? Black with shimmer (907, 908), silver or gold glitter, and gel polishes with a flash effect.
What is the flash effect? It's particles that light up intensely under strong light, for example a phone's camera flash – the effect shows best in photos.
When should I book a Christmas nail set? Ideally a few days before Christmas – with correct application, a gel polish manicure will last until New Year's Eve.
