How is it already the second week of December?! I am seriously panicking about my lack of preparedness for Christmas this year. The tree isn't up, the fridge is empty and I've not bought a single present. Yep, I'm really that disorganised. That being said, I have started to put some plans into motion, and I rang my mum this morning to ask what gifts I should get for the family. Whilst we were on the phone, she mentioned that she was off to get her nails done and asked me what Christmas manicure colour she should go for. As a beauty editor, I'm used to my friends and family coming to me for skincare, makeup and nail advice, so I was more than happy to chat about my favourite shades of the season.
I've tried my fair share of trendy festive manicures over the years, but I always go back to the five chic, classic colours below. Don't get me wrong—I love a glittery gold or metallic silver mani now and again, but I often end up regretting my choice after a week or two and opting for one of the shades I'm about to present instead. So, in case you too are looking for some inspiration ahead of your festive nail appointment, trust me that the below shades will elevate all of your party outfits whilst helping you feel Christmas-ready, even if you're currently as disorganised as me.
