1. Classic Cherry Red Gloss
The December staple - a high-shine true cherry red that reads festive without any motifs. A cream red gel goes on in two thin coats over base, cured between each, then a glossy top coat seals it for a wet, glassy finish that lasts about two to three weeks. Red is the most-worn holiday color because it flatters every skin tone and photographs bold under party lights. Keep the shape almond or squoval and the length medium for the classic look. It works because a clean, glossy red needs no art to feel dressed up, making it the easiest festive set to wear all month.
Who it suits: Anyone wanting a timeless, no-fuss festive red.
Tip: Cap the free edge with color and top coat so the tips do not chip before New Year.
2. Emerald and Gold Holly
Deep emerald green with tiny gold holly berries for a rich, festive set. Two coats of emerald gel build a jewel-toned base, cured between each, then a fine liner adds a few gold-leaf berries and a thin sprig on one or two accent nails once sealed. The dark green reads luxe rather than cartoonish, and the gold catches light at parties. Emerald flatters warm and deep skin tones especially well. Keep the holly small and on just two nails so the set stays elegant. It works because deep green plus metallic gold is the classic holiday pairing done in a grown-up, understated way.
Who it suits: Anyone wanting festive green that still looks elegant.
Tip: Add gold accents after the green cures so the metallic sits crisp, not smeared.
3. Cranberry French Tip
A modern French with a deep cranberry tip instead of white for a festive twist on the classic. Over a sheer nude or milky base, you paint a clean cranberry smile line at the tip with a liner, then seal with glossy top coat; the effect is polished and subtle enough for the office yet clearly seasonal. Cranberry is a cozy cold-weather red that leans a little berry, so it feels softer than a bright Christmas red. It suits every skin tone and any nail length. It works because the French shape keeps it work-appropriate while the berry tip signals December without any holiday motif.
Who it suits: Anyone wanting subtle, office-friendly December color.
Tip: Use tape or a French guide if your smile line is not steady - cranberry shows every wobble.
4. Candy Cane Stripe
Playful red-and-white diagonal stripes that read like a candy cane for a fun festive accent. Over an opaque white base, you pull thin red gel stripes on a diagonal with a striping brush, spacing them evenly, then seal with glossy top coat. Doing it on one or two accent nails and keeping the rest solid white or red keeps it from looking busy. This is a beginner-friendly design since the stripes hide small mistakes. It works because the candy-cane motif is instantly recognizable and cheerful, giving a lighthearted Christmas set that suits casual parties, kids' events and anyone who wants obvious holiday spirit.
Who it suits: Anyone wanting playful, obvious Christmas fun.
Tip: Use a thin striping brush and load it lightly so the red lines stay crisp and even.
5. Forest Green Velvet
A deep forest green with a soft velvet, cat-eye sheen that shifts in the light. A magnetic forest-green gel goes on over base, then a magnet is held near the wet gel to pull the shimmer into a soft velvet stripe before curing. The result is a cozy, moody green that feels wintry and expensive. Forest green is a cold-weather favorite that suits every skin tone and pairs with both festive and neutral outfits. Keep it glossy or matte depending on the mood. It works because the velvet finish adds depth to a dark green, making a simple color feel rich and seasonal.
Who it suits: Anyone wanting a moody, cozy winter green.
Tip: Hold the magnet close and steady for a few seconds before curing to pull a strong velvet stripe.
6. Red Plaid Accent
A cozy tartan plaid in red, green and white on one or two accent nails for a flannel-season feel. Over a cream or white base, you cross thin red and green stripes with a striping brush, then add finer white lines over the top and seal glossy. The plaid nail pairs with solid red or cream on the rest of the hand so it does not overwhelm. It suits anyone who loves the cabin, cozy-sweater side of December over glitzy holiday looks. It works because tartan is a classic winter print, and one plaid accent adds warmth and detail without needing a steady hand across all ten nails.
Who it suits: Anyone wanting a cozy cabin, flannel-season vibe.
Tip: Let each set of stripes cure before adding the next layer so the plaid lines stay sharp.
7. Chocolate Brown Glaze
A rich chocolate brown with a pearly glazed-donut sheen for a cozy, on-trend December neutral. Over a chocolate gel base you sweep a fine pearl or white chrome powder, then seal with glossy top coat for that milky, glazed shimmer. Chocolate brown is one of the biggest cold-weather colors because it feels warm and expensive without being festive-obvious, so it works from the office to a dinner. It flatters warm and deep skin tones beautifully and looks especially good on almond and short nails. It works because the glaze lifts a plain brown into something soft and luminous, giving a modern take on the winter neutral.
Who it suits: Anyone wanting a warm, cozy, non-festive neutral.
Tip: Buff the chrome on with a soft eyeshadow-style applicator for an even, milky glaze.
8. Dusty Mauve Milk Bath
A soft, sheer dusty mauve for a quiet, cozy December set that reads seasonal without color-blocking. A milky mauve gel goes on in one or two sheer coats over base so a little natural nail shows through, then a glossy top coat seals it. Mauve is a muted cold-weather shade that leans pink-brown, so it feels warmer than a gray but softer than a berry. It suits every skin tone and is ideal for work, weddings and anyone who prefers understated nails. It works because the sheer, milky finish looks clean and expensive, giving a subtle December neutral you can wear through the whole month.
Who it suits: Anyone wanting a soft, understated cozy neutral.
Tip: Build sheer coats slowly - one thick coat streaks, while two thin ones stay even and milky.
9. Cranberry Jelly
A translucent cranberry jelly that glows like stained glass for a juicy, cold-weather red. A sheer berry-red jelly gel is layered in two or three thin coats over base to build a see-through depth, then sealed with high-gloss top coat. The jelly finish reads softer and more modern than an opaque red, and cranberry is one of the coziest December shades - berry-toned rather than bright. It flatters every skin tone and looks especially good on short and almond nails. It works because the see-through, glassy build makes a simple red feel fresh and dimensional, giving a festive-but-soft set that bridges Christmas and everyday winter wear.
Who it suits: Anyone wanting a soft, juicy berry red.
Tip: Layer thin jelly coats and cure each so the color builds depth without going opaque.
10. Warm Cocoa French
A cozy cold-weather French with a warm cocoa-brown tip instead of white for a soft, seasonal neutral. Over a sheer nude base, you paint a clean chocolate-brown smile line at the tip with a liner and seal glossy; the brown French feels understated and expensive, perfect for work through the holidays. It pairs the classic French shape with December's warm-neutral trend, so it is festive in feel without any motif. Cocoa flatters warm and medium-to-deep skin tones especially. It works because swapping white for chocolate keeps the French timeless while making it read distinctly cozy-winter, giving an office-safe December set.
Who it suits: Anyone wanting a cozy, work-appropriate French.
Tip: Match the tip brown to your skin's warmth - a warmer cocoa looks richer than a flat taupe.
11. Mulled-Wine Burgundy
A deep, vampy burgundy the color of mulled wine for a rich, moody December set. Two coats of a dark wine-red gel build an almost-black depth in shadow that glows red in the light, sealed with glossy top coat. Burgundy is a cold-weather classic that feels dressier and moodier than a bright red, so it suits evening parties and anyone who loves a darker nail. It flatters every skin tone and looks striking on longer almond or coffin shapes. It works because the deep wine tone reads elegant and seasonal at once, giving a sophisticated alternative to Christmas red that carries from December dinners to New Year's Eve.
Who it suits: Anyone wanting a moody, dressy dark red.
Tip: Two thin coats give the richest depth - one coat can look patchy on a dark shade.
12. Cashmere Taupe
A soft greige taupe that looks like a cashmere sweater for the coziest neutral of the month. A creamy taupe gel goes on in two thin coats over base, sealed with a glossy or soft-matte top coat depending on the mood. Taupe sits between beige and gray, so it reads warm and quiet - ideal for anyone who wants December polish without any color statement. It flatters every skin tone and suits short, natural-looking nails especially well. It works because the muted, sweater-soft tone feels seasonal and expensive while staying completely versatile, giving a neutral you can wear to work and dress up for the holidays.
Who it suits: Anyone wanting a quiet, sweater-soft neutral.
Tip: Try a soft-matte top coat for a true cashmere, brushed-wool finish.
13. Icy Blue Chrome
A frosty pale-blue chrome that looks like frozen glass for a wintry, icy set. Over a light blue or white gel base you buff on blue chrome powder for a mirror finish, then seal with no-wipe top coat. The reflective chrome catches cold winter light and reads like ice, making it one of the most December-appropriate looks without any Christmas motif. Icy blue flatters cool and fair skin tones especially. It suits every shape and looks futuristic on longer nails. It works because the mirror chrome turns a simple pale blue into a high-shine, frozen effect, giving a modern winter set that stands apart from the usual red and green.
Who it suits: Anyone wanting a cool, frosty, modern winter look.
Tip: Seal chrome with a no-wipe top coat and cap the edge so the mirror finish does not dull.
14. Silver Snowflake Tips
Delicate silver snowflakes scattered near the tips over a soft white or sheer base for a pretty, wintry set. Over the cured base you paint fine snowflakes with a liner and silver or white gel, then dot a few tiny rhinestones at the centers and seal glossy. Keeping the flakes small and near the tips stops the design from looking busy. Snowflakes read as winter rather than strictly Christmas, so the set works all month. It suits anyone who wants a little art without a full festive theme. It works because the crisp white-on-white snowflakes feel fresh and snowy, giving a delicate seasonal set that photographs beautifully.
Who it suits: Anyone wanting delicate, snowy winter art.
Tip: Paint snowflakes with a very fine liner and thin gel so the lines stay crisp, not blobby.
15. Frosted Ice Aura
A soft airbrushed aura in icy blue and white that glows from the center like frost on glass. Over a milky base you buff a halo of pale-blue and white chrome or pigment into the middle of each nail, fading it out to the edges, then seal glossy. The blurred glow reads modern and cold, perfect for December without any literal snow motif. It flatters cool and fair skin tones and looks especially good on almond and short nails. It works because the diffused aura finish is on-trend and instantly wintry, giving a subtle, frosted set that feels current rather than tied to Christmas.
Who it suits: Anyone wanting a modern, frosted glow.
Tip: Buff the aura from the center outward and stop before the edges for a true glow, not a full color.
16. Pearl White Chrome
An iridescent pearl-white chrome that shifts pink, blue and gold in the light like fresh snow. Over a white or sheer gel base you buff on a pearl or aurora chrome powder, then seal with no-wipe top coat for that milky, shifting glow. The finish is soft and bridal, so it suits December weddings, minimalists and anyone who wants sparkle without color. Pearl white flatters every skin tone. It looks clean on short nails and elegant on long ones. It works because the aurora shimmer gives a plain white depth and movement, making a simple, snowy set that reads both festive and refined all month long.
Who it suits: Anyone wanting soft, snowy shimmer without color.
Tip: Layer pearl chrome over pure white so the iridescent shift reads clearly.
17. Glacier Blue Ombre
A frosty ombre fading from glacier blue at the tip to white at the base for a cool, snowy gradient. Using a makeup sponge, you dab blue and white gel where they meet and blend the seam, building the fade in two thin cured layers, then seal glossy. A light dusting of iridescent powder or fine glitter over the top adds a snow-sparkle finish. Glacier blue suits cool and fair skin tones and looks soft on any length. It works because the blended blue-white fade reads like ice and snow without a single motif, giving a wintry set that feels seasonal through the whole month, not just Christmas.
Who it suits: Anyone wanting a soft, icy gradient.
Tip: Blend the seam while the gel is wet and build in layers so the fade stays seamless.
18. Champagne Glitter Fade
A champagne-gold glitter fade that builds from a dense sparkle at the tip to sheer at the base - the classic New Year's Eve nail. Over a nude or sheer base you press fine champagne glitter gel heavier at the tips and taper it down, then seal with glossy top coat for a smooth finish. The soft gold reads celebratory but wearable, so it carries from holiday parties to the countdown. Champagne flatters every skin tone. It works because the graduated glitter catches light beautifully under party and fireworks glow, giving a festive, dressed-up set that is the go-to for NYE without going full disco.
Who it suits: Anyone wanting party sparkle that stays wearable.
Tip: Press glitter on with a flat brush and taper it so the fade looks graduated, not blocky.
19. Gold Foil Flakes
Torn gold-foil flakes scattered over a sheer nude or milky base for a luxe, molten-metal look. Over the cured base you press small pieces of gold leaf randomly across a couple of accent nails, then seal well with top coat so no edges lift. The irregular foil catches light like gold flecks and pairs with solid nude or cream on the rest of the hand. Gold flatters warm and deep skin tones especially. It works because the raw metallic flakes read expensive and celebratory, giving a New Year set that feels editorial and party-ready without needing a steady painting hand - you just place the foil and seal.
Who it suits: Anyone wanting luxe, molten-gold sparkle.
Tip: Seal foil with two thin top coats and cap the edge so the flakes stay flush and do not peel.
20. Midnight Black and Gold
Glossy jet black paired with gold glitter tips for a dramatic midnight countdown set. Two coats of black gel build a deep, glassy base, then gold glitter gel is packed onto the tips of one or two accent nails and everything is sealed with high-gloss top coat. The black-and-gold pairing is the classic New Year's Eve palette - sleek, dressy and bold under party lights. It flatters every skin tone and looks especially striking on longer almond or coffin nails. It works because black plus gold reads instantly like champagne-and-tux glamour, giving a statement NYE set that is far dressier than everyday winter color.
Who it suits: Anyone wanting a bold, glamorous NYE set.
Tip: Pack glitter on with a flat brush for dense, even tips rather than sparse specks.
21. Disco Silver Sparkle
Full-coverage silver holographic glitter that flashes rainbow like a disco ball for maximum countdown sparkle. A dense silver glitter gel is built in two coats over base until fully opaque, then sealed with a thick glossy top coat to smooth the texture. This is the loudest party set of the month, made for New Year's Eve and anyone who wants all-out shine. Silver suits cool and fair skin tones especially and looks best on shorter nails so the sparkle does not overwhelm. It works because the holographic flash catches every light for a high-energy, celebratory finish that is unmistakably a party nail.
Who it suits: Anyone wanting all-out party sparkle.
Tip: Use an extra layer of top coat to smooth chunky glitter so it does not snag or feel gritty.
22. Rose Gold Glitter Tips
Warm rose-gold glitter tips over a soft nude base for a pretty, feminine take on party sparkle. Over the nude, you press fine rose-gold glitter gel just at the tips like a sparkly French, then seal glossy so the edge stays smooth. The rose-gold warmth reads softer and more romantic than silver or bright gold, so it suits weddings and dressier December events as well as New Year's Eve. It flatters warm, fair and medium skin tones especially. It works because the glitter-tip placement keeps the sparkle wearable and elegant rather than all-over loud, giving a party set you could also wear to a holiday dinner.
Who it suits: Anyone wanting soft, romantic party sparkle.
Tip: Keep the glitter tip narrow and clean-edged so it reads like a sparkly French, not a full glitter nail.
23. Short Cranberry Gloss
A short, glossy cranberry set that proves festive color needs no length. Two thin coats of berry-red cranberry gel over base build a rich, even color on natural-length nails, sealed with high-gloss top coat. On short nails the cozy berry red looks neat, modern and completely office-appropriate while still reading seasonal. Cranberry flatters every skin tone and is one of the easiest December shades to wear day to day. It works because a clean, glossy berry on short nails is low-maintenance and chip-resistant - shorter nails take less impact - giving a practical festive set for anyone who works with their hands or just prefers a shorter length.
Who it suits: Anyone wanting festive short nails that are practical.
Tip: Short nails chip less, but still cap the free edge with color so the gloss lasts the full weeks.
24. Short Chrome Accent
A practical short set in soft nude with a single silver chrome accent nail for subtle December shine. Over a nude base on all nails, you leave four clean and buff silver chrome onto one ring-finger nail, then seal glossy. The short length keeps it tidy and work-friendly while the one mirror accent adds a wintry, modern touch. Because only one nail carries the shine, it is quick, low-cost - about five dollars for the accent - and easy to live with. It works because the chrome accent reads intentional and current on short nails, suiting anyone new to festive nails or wanting the smallest hit of seasonal sparkle.
Who it suits: Anyone wanting a subtle, low-key seasonal accent.
Tip: Put the chrome on the ring finger so the single accent reads balanced across the hand.
25. Short Forest-Green Minimalist
A clean, short forest-green set for minimal, grown-up festive color. Two thin coats of deep forest-green gel over base build a rich jewel tone on natural-length nails, sealed with glossy top coat - no art, just color. On short nails the dark green reads polished and modern rather than loud, so it works from the office to holiday dinners. Forest green flatters every skin tone and pairs with any outfit. It works because a solid deep green needs no motif to feel seasonal, and the short length keeps it practical and chip-resistant, giving a quiet festive set for anyone who wants December color without sparkle or nail art.
Who it suits: Anyone wanting minimal, grown-up festive color.
Tip: Two thin coats give an even jewel tone - one thick coat streaks on a dark green.
December Nail Colors and Occasions (Strategy Guide)
December nails work best when you match the color to the moment, and the month gives you four clear moods to plan around. For festive parties, reach for classic reds, emerald and forest green, or a candy-cane accent. For the cozy cold weeks at work or home, lean on warm neutrals - chocolate brown, dusty mauve, cranberry and taupe - that read seasonal without any Christmas motif. For a modern winter look, go icy: pale blue chrome, pearl white and glacier ombre feel snowy and current. For New Year's Eve, switch to gold, champagne and silver glitter for the countdown. A smart plan is to book one versatile set early - a cranberry French or a glazed chocolate works from mid-December parties straight through the holidays. Most looks here are gel, so a set runs about thirty to fifty-five dollars and lasts two to three weeks, meaning one well-timed appointment can carry you through the whole festive stretch.
Cozy Cold-Weather Nail Colors
The coziest December colors are the warm, muted shades that feel like a sweater rather than a holiday. Chocolate brown is the standout - especially with a glazed pearl sheen - because it reads warm and expensive without being festive-obvious. Dusty mauve, a soft pink-brown, gives a quiet milky finish that suits work and weddings. Cranberry is the cozy red of the month: berry-toned and softer than a bright Christmas red, it works glossy or as a jelly. Add mulled-wine burgundy for evenings, forest green for a moody jewel tone, and greige taupe for the most neutral option. These shades flatter every skin tone, though warm and deep tones look especially rich in chocolate and burgundy, while cool and fair tones glow in mauve and taupe. All of them carry from early December through the New Year, so they are the safest pick if you want one set to last the whole season without committing to Christmas motifs.
December Nails for Short Nails
Short nails look just as festive as long ones in December, and they hold up better through a busy month. The easiest wins are solid glossy colors: a berry cranberry, a deep forest green or a glazed chocolate all read seasonal and stay neat on a short length. For a little more, add a single accent - one silver chrome nail or one snowflake tip - so the set feels intentional without art across all ten nails. Short nails chip less because the free edge takes less impact, which makes them practical for anyone who works with their hands. Shape matters: a short squoval or round is the most flattering and durable, and it keeps the look tidy and office-appropriate. Cost stays low too, since a single accent nail runs about five dollars on top of a standard gel manicure. Keep the color rich and glossy and a short December set looks polished, modern and completely festive.
New Year Nail Ideas
New Year's Eve is December's excuse to go all-out sparkle, and the palette narrows to metallics: gold, champagne, silver and black. The most wearable NYE nail is a champagne-gold glitter fade - dense at the tips, sheer at the base - which carries from a holiday dinner to the countdown. For drama, pair glossy jet black with gold glitter tips, the classic tux-and-champagne pairing. If you want maximum shine, a full silver holographic glitter flashes like a disco ball, best kept on shorter nails so it does not overwhelm. Rose-gold glitter tips are the softer, more romantic option that also suits December weddings. Because glitter is harder to remove, plan for a longer soak-off - file the shine, then wrap in 100% acetone and foil for a little longer than a standard gel. Book close to New Year's Eve if you want the sparkle fresh, and expect about five dollars per glitter accent on top of the base manicure.
December vs Christmas Nails
December nails and Christmas nails overlap, but December is the broader term. Christmas nails are the specific festive looks - red and green, candy canes, holly, snowflakes and Santa motifs - tied to the holiday itself. December nails include all of those, but also stretch to cozy cold-weather neutrals like chocolate, mauve and cranberry, icy blue chrome and snowy whites, and gold or silver glitter for New Year's Eve. In other words, every Christmas nail is a December nail, but not every December nail is a Christmas nail. That distinction matters if you want a set that lasts the whole month: a glazed chocolate or an icy chrome reads seasonal from December 1 through New Year without looking specifically Christmassy, so it does not feel out of place after the 25th. If you specifically want Christmas Day, lean into the red, green and motif looks; if you want all-month wear, choose a neutral or icy set.
How Long They Last and What They Cost
Most December sets here are gel, so they last about two to three weeks, and up to four with good prep, daily cuticle oil and capping the free edge - important when you want a set to survive the whole holiday stretch. Regular non-gel polish only holds about five to seven days, so gel is the better choice for a busy festive month. On cost: a standard gel manicure runs roughly thirty to fifty-five dollars, and add-ons like chrome, glitter or a hand-painted accent average about five dollars per accent nail, so a detailed festive set often lands around forty to sixty-five dollars. Builder gel or Gel-X for extra length costs more, from sixty dollars up. The single best tip for December is to book early in the month - salons fill fast before the holidays and New Year's Eve. Time a gel set for mid-December and it will carry you, still looking fresh, right through to the countdown.
Frequently Asked Questions
What colors are best for December nails?
December nails span four moods: festive reds and emerald green, cozy neutrals like chocolate brown, mauve and cranberry, icy blue chrome and snowy white, and gold or champagne glitter for New Year's Eve. Reds and cozy neutrals wear all month, while chrome and glitter feel most modern and party-ready. Pick by the occasion and your outfit.
What is the most popular holiday nail color?
Red is the most-worn holiday color by far, because it reads festive instantly and flatters every skin tone. Cranberry and berry-toned reds are especially popular in December since they feel cozy and a little softer than a bright Christmas red. Deep emerald green and gold are the next most requested for the season.
What is the difference between December and Christmas nails?
Christmas nails are the specific festive looks - red and green, candy canes, holly and snowflakes tied to the holiday. December nails are broader and include those plus cozy neutrals like chocolate and mauve, icy blue chrome, and New Year's Eve glitter. Every Christmas nail is a December nail, but not every December nail is Christmassy.
What are subtle December nails for work?
For the office, choose cozy neutrals or a soft French. A dusty mauve milk bath, a glazed chocolate brown, a greige taupe or a cranberry French tip all read seasonal without any holiday motif. Keep the length short to medium and the finish glossy or soft-matte for a polished, work-appropriate December set.
Are red nails still in for the holidays?
Yes, red nails are a permanent holiday classic and never go out of style for December. The current twist is to reach for berry-toned reds like cranberry and mulled-wine burgundy, or to wear red as a jelly or a French tip rather than a flat opaque coat. A glossy red still reads timeless and festive.
What are the coziest cold-weather nail colors?
The coziest December shades are warm, muted neutrals: chocolate brown, dusty mauve, cranberry, mulled-wine burgundy, greige taupe and forest green. They feel like a winter sweater rather than a holiday costume, so they work from the office to dinner and carry through the whole month, not just Christmas Day.
What December nails work on short nails?
Short nails look festive in solid glossy colors like cranberry, forest green or glazed chocolate, or with a single accent such as one chrome nail or a snowflake tip. Short nails chip less because the free edge takes less impact, so they are practical for a busy month. A short squoval or round is the most flattering shape.
What are the best December nails for pale vs deep skin?
Fair and cool skin tones glow in icy blue chrome, pearl white, dusty mauve and silver glitter. Warm, medium and deep skin tones look richest in chocolate brown, emerald green, mulled-wine burgundy and gold. Classic red, cranberry and taupe flatter every skin tone, so they are the safest pick if you are unsure.
How long do December gel nails last and what do they cost?
A gel December set lasts about two to three weeks, up to four with good prep and daily cuticle oil. A standard gel manicure runs about thirty to fifty-five dollars, plus roughly five dollars per accent nail for chrome, glitter or hand-painted art, so a detailed festive set often lands around forty to sixty-five dollars.
When should I book my December nails?
Book early in December, because salons fill fast before the holidays and New Year's Eve. Timing a gel set for mid-December means it stays fresh through Christmas and into the countdown, since gel lasts two to three weeks. If you want separate Christmas and New Year's looks, schedule both appointments in advance.
Which december nails look are you saving?
December nails are really about matching the mood of the moment - festive red and green for the parties, cozy chocolate and cranberry for the cold weeks, icy blue chrome for the snow, and gold or champagne glitter for the countdown. Because most of these are gel, book early in December so a set carries you through the holidays and lasts its full two to three weeks. Keep the whole-month range in mind: you do not have to commit to Christmas motifs to look seasonal, and a soft mauve or a glazed chrome reads just as December. Save the looks you love and take the exact photos to your nail tech so your set comes out just how you picture it.
