Crafting Holiday Magic with Orange Christmas Nails
When designing your nails, gradient blending, ombre, swirls, and marbling are all great but don’t forget stickers, decals, acrylic, beads, and rhinestones.
These nail art accessories are usually pre-cut for standard nail sizes and can be trimmed to fit your nails.
Applying stickers and decals is one of the easiest ways to design your nails without manually painting each line and dot.
Acrylic, on the other hand, is like clay for nails that can be molded into various shapes before it’s placed on top.
If you’re looking for some sparkle, consider beads and rhinestones for some holiday magic.
Coordinating Orange Nails With Holiday Attire
Orange is a warm and energetic color, but too much of it can make you look like a walking pumpkin.
Clothing colors that are neutral—like cream, nude and beige, primary colors, and camel—will work best with your orange nails. Because of their muted shades, they let your nails do the talking.
You can also give your OOTDs a festive glow by investing in gold accessories like a chain belt, layered gold necklaces, or chunky gold bracelets.
The Orange Christmas Nail Care Guide
With this nail care guide, you can nurture the glow of your orange nails.
#1. Soak your feet but not your hands.
Soaking can help soften the calluses and hard skin on your feet, but this can be too much for your hands.
#2. Clip, shape, and buff your nails.
Do these three things before a manicure to give your polish extra staying power.
#3. Don’t apply nail polish on your cuticles.
Avoid getting nail lacquer on your cuticles. Polish that settles and dries on your skin dries more quickly. When it starts to peel, it can cause the polish that’s on the nail to crack.
Navigating the Festive Nail Journey
Nail art designs are impressive because of their meticulous details. Creating them requires a careful and steady hand with precise strokes. Hence, it takes a lot of practice and patience to achieve a flawless design.
So, keep practicing and you’ll eventually get better. You can even buy fake nails to practice on and slowly build your collection of tools and quality nail polishes.
To inspire your DIY nail journey, here’s an ombre orange nails video tutorial that you can use this Christmas.
Caring for Orange Christmas Nails
Treat your nails to some extra TLC this holiday with these tips:
- Reapply your top coat twice a week and use a strengthening product for your nails.
- Only use high-quality nail products, including a good base and top nail coats.
- Roll the nail polish bottle between your hands before applying it to remove the bubbles.
- Apply thin coats and let them dry completely before applying another layer of nail polish.
- Use water and hand soap to clean your hands instead of hand sanitizers. These disinfectants can dry out your skin.
Conclusion
Red and green nails are so predictable. Add some excitement to the holidays by painting your nails orange.
Even if it isn’t a traditional Christmas color, it’s still festive and pleasing to the eyes. Don’t forget to add some of the yuletide designs we suggested!
