Tips for Perfect White Christmas Nails
Not all white polishes are the same. Pure white looks crisp, while cream or off-white shades are softer and can help hide stains if that’s a concern.
Preparation is necessary because white polish shows every flaw. Be sure to file, buff, and moisturize your nails before you start.
Use a good base coat to prevent staining, especially when using darker accent colors. It also helps your manicure last longer.
Finish with a top coat to protect your design and add shine. Reapply every few days to help prevent chips.
Mix and match different white Christmas nail designs for a fun, creative look.
