Nothing gets us into the holiday spirit faster than jolly carols, baking cookies, and cozy socks—except for, say, stunning holiday nails. A holiday manicure is an ideal way to add a festive touch to any outfit, but who has time to visit a nail salon during the hectic hustle and bustle? Giving yourself a manicure at home can quickly get you into a celebratory mood, as anytime you glance at your hands, you get a healthy dose of holiday cheer. Here are some tips for achieving the ultimate merry manicure from the comfort of your home.
Prep Your Nails
Start your manicure by using a high-quality fingernail polish remover to eliminate any leftover polish, dirt, or residue that might remain on the surface of your nails. Look for an acetone-free nail polish remover, as it removes even the darkest shades of polish without drying your nails. Next, use manicure tools to shape and prep your nails. Then, add a base coat, and you're prepped to rock the next stage of the manicure.
Bonus tip: Adding cuticle oil to your regular nail care routine is a great idea to keep your cuticles adequately moisturized, particularly in dry, cold weather.
Pick Your Colors
Get ready to sleigh—ahem, slay—your manicure with the hottest colors of the season. The best part about holiday manicure colors is there is no right or wrong color to choose. While some might navigate toward red or green, festive is subjective, and many colors represent the holiday season. Whether you prefer dark green to represent an evergreen forest, blue and white for snowmen, a pop of pink for a holiday party, or gold or silver sparkles to ring in the New Year, the essential factor is how the color makes you feel.
Nail color combos are the most straightforward festive look because it's not about design, just color. You can mix and match coordinating or contrasting colors however you want, giving you infinite possibilities.
Bonus tip: Glitter is another popular option to help give your nails some pizazz at holiday parties.
Protect Your Polish
Don't let all your hard work go to waste. Protect your vibrant color by applying a gel top coat after your nail polish has completely dried. A high-performance gel top coat can help prevent chipping while adding a high-gloss finish. Gel top coats are also highly resilient, helping extend the length of your manicure while increasing the durability of nails, keeping them strong and less prone to breakage. The last thing you need is chipped holiday nails that won't last through the season.
Bonus tip: Choose vegan and cruelty-free formulas to help your nails look like you just stepped out of a salon. Seek out premium nail care products free of potentially harsh ingredients like formaldehyde, toluene, DBP, and camphor.
Following these simple steps will ensure you nail your festive at-home manicure.
