How to Make Christmas Tree Nails Last All Season

Detailed tree art deserves protection, so seal it with a glossy top coat and refresh that top coat every few days to stop fine branches and tiny bauble dots from wearing away. Green and red polishes can stain, which makes a good base coat non-negotiable, and gel or gel-effect formulas will carry intricate hand-painted trees through weeks of parties, wrapping and washing up. If you are painting at home, build the tree in thin layers — trunk, branches, then decorations — and let each layer dry before adding the next.

From a single subtle French-tip fir to a full glittering forest, Christmas tree nails are the easiest way to wear the season on your hands. Save your favourites, show them to your nail tech, and let your manicure join the decorations.
