With December on the horizon, many of us have begun our Christmas shopping, have our beauty advent calendars on standby and our social calendars filling up for party season. Which begs the question: what are we doing with our nails over the festive period? Amongst the winter nail colours and winter nail trends, red nail polish always looks chic for any time of the year. However, dark red Christmas nails look particularly chic in December. A deep red shade that resembles a glass of mulled wine works just as well as a party nail design without being as obvious as glitter nails. And if you’re booking a gel-polish manicure, it’s a safe bet that will see you through the festive season.
