Tips for Making Green Christmas Nails Last

Detailed art like reindeer faces, holly berries and fine snowflakes sits on the surface of the nail, so seal everything under a glossy top coat and refresh it every few days to protect the edges. Deep green polish can stain, so never skip a base coat, and keep cuticle oil close — centrally heated rooms dry nails out fast in December, and hydrated nails hold glitter and fine linework far longer.

From one tiny Christmas tree on a glossy green nail to a full set of reindeer and candy stripes, green proves it can carry the whole festive season on its own. Pick your favourite shade of pine, book the appointment, and let your hands do the celebrating.
