Tips for Making Green and Gold Nails Last

Deep green pigments can stain, so always start with a good base coat, and seal gold glitter and hand-painted details under a glossy top coat to keep them smooth and bright. Metallic accents look best kept polished, so refresh your top coat mid-week and keep cuticle oil handy through the party season.

From one tiny gold tree on a short green nail to a full set of plaid coffins, there is a festive green here for every style. Pick your favourite, book the appointment, and let your hands do the sparkling this Christmas.
