Curl up next to the hearth wearing winter’s most comforting nail polishes. BYO toasted marshmallows.
It’s officially the season to go all out on your nails. A cosy jumper, a mug of hot chocolate (or mulled wine) and perfectly manicured nails are a must. So, we’ve compiled a list of our go-to nail varnishes perfect for the Christmas season. From seasonal reds to deep, forest greens, there’s something to suit everybody.
Eternal flame
Just like a real fire, Nails Inc’s Closet Millionaire, £15, glows the warmest shades of red and orange.
Night life
A sumptuous shade of plum, Essie Sights in Nightlights, £7.99, is a versatile polish that’ll see you through until spring.
Green light
Wear the deepest, darkest depths of a forest on your nails with Topshop Gloss Nail Polish in Tumble, £7.
Festive feel
Part of this year’s limited-edition Christmas collection, Dior’s Diorific Vernis in Audace, £21.50, is forever chic.
Tea time
More muted than its namesake, Barry M Gelly Hi Shine Nail Paint in Matcha, £3.99, is more of a khaki green – with an impressively glossy finish.
Red hot
With a grown-up metallic finish, Orly Cosmic Crimson, £11, means you can match your manicure to your mulled wine.
Cult classic
If you want a classic shade to rely on time and time again, treat yourself to Oribe The Lacquer in The Red, £26. You’ll have zero regrets.
Christmas miracle
Red with just the right amount of lustre, Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Nail Polish in Good Cheer-y, £9.99, has all the hallmarks of the ultimate festive season shade.
