The versatility and eternal attraction of red nails are what make them so pretty!

One could wear them with nail art e.g. snowflakes, holly leaves and candy canes or just let them shine with a glossed top, which is definitely just as smart and cool.

At the same time matte finishes provide a contemporary twist suitable for people who may prefer subtler but still fashionable look.

If you don’t like matte nails, you can’t miss out on adding metallic accents or gems because they bring ordinary red nail polish into another level sophistication!

But still, in the end, red Christmas nails are more than just a trend—they are a celebration of the festive season! So definitely rock them however you choose!
