Part of the fun of party season is getting experimental with your makeup look. And the same applies to your nails! I am usually one for simple, natural-looking manicures (or even completely nude nails) but I’m all for going for gold during the festive season. Need some inspiration? Below I’ve picked out a few of my favourite colours from the current collections, and listed a few people to follow for nail art inspiration.

Party Nail Colours






Smith & Cult Nail Lacquer – Gay Ponies Dancing In The Snow
Who said pink isn’t Christmassy? This glittering nail polish is just screaming out for a glass of champagne to be seen next to.
Essie Nail Polish in Après-Chic
Metallic nails are the perfect finishing touch if you’re opting for a little black or red dress for your party.
Nails Inc Holland Walk NailKale
Formulated to help strengthen nails, this deep, berry red is chic enough for work but pretty enough for party season.
Christian Louboutin Nail Colour in Jazzy Doll
Opt for a classic Christmas red for a timeless festive finish. This Louboutin Jazzy Doll shade is one of the best.
JINSOON Motif
Jinsoon polishes are vegan and free from nasties – and this black and white glitter polish creates instant party nails when applied over a clear basecoat.
Dior Diorific Vernis Nail Liner
Up for a bit of at-home nail art? Invest in Dior’s golden nail liner and draw festive designs on your nails. Or just start with a line down the centre of each nail and work from there.
