Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between December and Christmas nails?

Christmas nails lean specifically festive - red, green, Santa, snowflakes. December nails are broader: they include Christmas looks but also cozy neutrals, icy blues and chrome, and New-Year glitter, covering the whole month and every occasion, not just Christmas Day.

What are the most popular December nail colors?

Classic Christmas red and forest green, plus cosy cold-weather tones like chocolate brown, mauve and cranberry, icy blue and silver chrome, and glittery gold or champagne for New Year. Neutrals with one festive accent nail are a hugely popular subtle option.

What December nails work on short nails?

Short nails suit a single festive accent - one snowflake or glitter nail with the rest a cozy neutral - plus solid cranberry, forest green or chrome. Small, simple designs and negative space read cleaner and more elegant on short lengths.
