With Rebecca Taylor-Shaw | Claw Culture Brand Ambassador | Nail Tech | Educator

It's officially less than one month until Christmas!(Eeeeek😬🎄) I’m sure we can all agree that this year has flown by! Let’s make this last month the best one there has been. After all, who doesn’t love Christmas?!💚❤️

The Black Friday sale is in full swing, so now is the perfect time to stock up on all of your staples, to keep your nail kit topped up for the mad Christmas rush. You might be struggling for inspiration with Christmas nail art and Festive colours, so here’s some ideas for you all💡

🎅🏼 Red Devil is from our new Autumn/Winter collection and it is stunning! It is highly pigmented and is the perfect shade for Santa nail art. Pair it with All White for his beard and fur around his hat, and VIP Black for his eyes. 

🎄Wilderness is a stunning green, and is the best shade for Christmas tree nail art. You can jazz it up with glittery shades for the star on the top, and all kinds of colours for baubles and tinsel. The sparklier the better!

💚 Wilderness and Palm Leaf mixed together, are the perfect match for Grinch nail art! This was such a popular design last year, and I think it’s going to blow up again this year too! 

💚✨ For those clients wanting simple nails, without nail art, Wilderness with one layer of Pegasus over the top is a stunning combination.

✨ Absolutely ANY colour with Pegasus over the top is gorgeous! It completely transforms any colour, and makes it perfect for the December Festivities. 

🩷 Razzle Dazzle is a perfect colour for all year round, but its deep, sparkly, cerise tone is a must for the festive season! Other gorgeous pink colours include Frosting, Pink Diamonds, Pink Gold and Fairy Dust - they will look stunning no matter what the occasion or dress code!

🤍 All White is a must have for any season! It is a great base colour, and is also the perfect addition to any nail art - especially Snowflakes and Snowmen ❄️☃️ All White used as a base colour underneath Mermaid White is a stunning look (Chefs Kiss💋)

🤎 Cinnamon is a fantastic colour for creating Rudolph! Pair it with VIP Black and All White for eyes, and Red Devil, or even Ruby Slippers for that shiny red nose!

❤️ Candy Cane is a gorgeous chunky red glitter, and is a beautiful addition to your nail kits, for those clients that love a lot of sparkle. For those wanting a finer looking glitter, Ruby Slippers is the perfect red!

🎄Crushed Emerald is a stunning chunky green glitter, and looks amazing as a full colour or incorporated into your nail art. If you want to make Crushed Emerald “pop” even more, put a layer of Palm Leaf or Wilderness underneath, as a base colour. 

💖 It is absolutely impossible for me to choose a favourite shade from the Holo collection - they will all make a perfect addition to your nail kit, all year round. But I would say that Holo Gold and Holo Silver are a must have for Christmas and New Year. They look gorgeous as they are, or even paired with chunkier glitters such as Billionairess and Vegas Baby. 

🪩 Cinderella Silver is a beautiful colour - especially when it hits the light😍 The shine and sparkle reminds me of a Disco Ball - perfect for those New Years Eve parties!

💙 For those clients that like a pop of blue at Christmas, Blue Shores, In The Navy, Denim, Blue Crystal and Elsa’s Touch are must haves! They all give Wintery, Frozen/Elsa vibes. Adding a simple snowflake to these colours will make a gorgeous, winter set of nails. 

🖤 VIP Black is perfect for the New Years celebrations, and if it is paired with any of the shades of gold or silver, then your client will be ready to party!

💅🏽 For those clients that aren’t allowed anything noticeable on their nails for work, then we can make their toes look gorgeous instead, ready for those open-toed heels that they will be dancing the night away in. One of my clients is a huge nail art fan, but she works for the NHS, so we do nail art on her toes instead! It is totally possible!👣
