Christmas Fashion Nail

Holiday salon appointments begin with a quick hand cleanup before you touch the polish bottles. You file down rough nail tips, trim cuticles, and select deep base coats in pine green, cranberry red, or metallic silver.

Your workspace supplies striping brushes, glitter topcoats, holiday stickers of candy canes, and gemstone rings to slide onto finished fingers. You layer topcoat gloss over each nail and pick decorative decals for the knuckles.

Designing each fingernail independently gives this makeover game an uncommon level of detail. Painting a tiny snowman pattern on the accent nail while coating the others in candy stripes makes the final hands feel customized.
