Overview
- Editors and pros say understated festive designs now lead, replacing novelty art with cleaner, polished manicures.
- Seasonal French tips return in ombré, coloured or micro‑gold versions that stay office‑friendly yet festive.
- Quiet luxury colours dominate, with deep mulled‑wine reds, velvety plums, burgundy and emerald or forest greens.
- Refined bold options rise in salons, including magnetic cat‑eye effects, frosted or “frozen” chrome and velvet finishes.
- Glitter remains the go‑to party choice, praised as easy to DIY and long‑wearing, though removal typically needs acetone.
