How to Choose Your Green Christmas Nails

  • there are a number of shades of green and not all of them work well for Christmas – generally, you should aim for darker shades of green nail polish which are more closely associated with the holidays
  • keep your nail shape in mind – certain designs like ombre nails look the best with longer nails, but that doesn’t mean you can’t give them a try if you have short-cut nails. They will still look pretty, but not as impressive as on longer nail size.
  • don’t forget that any manicure looks its best on healthy and well-maintained nails
  • if you’re pairing green with other colors, stick to the classics to ensure your colors don’t clash too much – green with gold, green with red or green with white is the most used traditional combinations
  • if you’re not a huge fan of green but would like to include it as part of your holiday manicure, you can use it in a limited extent for example as French tips in this color.
