Tips for Making Pink and White Christmas Nails Last

Detailed character art like reindeer, Santas and snowmen is worth protecting, so seal everything with a glossy top coat and refresh it every few days. Pastel pinks can pick up stains from wrapping paper dye and dark denim, so wear gloves for present wrapping and baking sessions, and keep cuticle oil on hand — winter air dries nails out fast, and dry nails chip at the edges first.

Whether you go all-in with a hand-painted Santa or keep things soft with a single snowflake, pink and white is the prettiest way to do Christmas nails this year. Pick your favourite, book the appointment, and let your manicure do the festive talking.
