How To Choose Between Red, Green And Bows

Pick red if you want the safest christmas colour, green if you like something a little different, and bows if you prefer a soft, feminine look. All three suit a medium almond shape with a gentle taper rather than a sharp point.

If you cannot decide, keep most nails plain and add one accent nail, such as a gold snowflake or a single red bow. You can always add more detail at your next appointment.

Save Your Favourite And Book Early

Save the looks you love so they are ready on your phone. When you book, mention the shape, the main colour and the one detail you want, and bring a clear photo.

December appointments fill up quickly, so it is worth booking a week or two ahead and asking for a glossy, sealing top coat so the colour stays bright through the holidays.

These 22 plum halloween nails cover matte and glossy finishes, tiny gold moons, bats and webs, mauve ombres, and a final section of black and silver glitter for anyone who wants a sharper edge. Everything is shown on almond nails, so it works at a party and at your desk.

Plain Matte Plum, Nothing Else

Smooth matte plum almonds with nothing added: no art and no glitter, just a velvety dark berry colour against a chunky cream knit.

Matte finishes turn deep colours velvety, so the plum reads rich rather than heavy. It is the simplest way to wear halloween nails to work.

Gold on plum feels warm and a little regal. Using a different motif on each nail makes the hand look like a tiny story.

Plum, Bats And A Pale Moon

Black on plum is subtle, so the art shows up close and fades from a distance. It is a good choice if your workplace is on the conservative side.

Glossy Plum With Leaf Sprigs

The glitter fade catches candlelight in a way plain polish cannot. It is made for a party.

Oxblood And Black With Silver Webs

A dark red base gives the silver a warmer glow than black does. It is a nice halfway point between plum and black.

Oxblood And Liquid Silver Chrome

The chrome looks like melted metal. It is the most glamorous set in the black and silver section.

It looks like a still life painting. Gothic, romantic and very easy to photograph.

Matte, Gloss Or Glitter: Which Finish Suits Plum?

Matte makes plum look velvety and calm, gloss makes it look deeper and a little like wine, and glitter adds movement under party lights. If you are not sure, start with gloss, because it is the easiest to wear and to refresh.

Tell your nail tech which finish you want before you sit down, and ask how it wears. Matte and glossy top coats can behave differently over time, so it is worth hearing their advice for your nails.

Which Plum Will You Book?

For a safe choice, go for glossy plum with one tiny gold moon. For drama, pick the black and silver glitter fade. Both look good from the first of October to the last.

Save your favourites so they are ready on your phone at your next appointment. A clear photo saves time and helps your tech give you exactly what you pictured.

How To Keep Candy Cane Nails Looking Neat

Stripes and swirls show chips quickly, so ask your tech for a sealing top coat over the art and finish the free edge too. Use cuticle oil every day so the red looks fresh.

If you want the look without a full set, keep two nails plain red and put the candy cane on one or two accent nails. It is cheaper to redo and still looks festive.

Pick Your Festive Mood And Book Early

Go candy cane for a playful look, frosted white for a calm one. Either way, save your favourites so they are ready on your phone at your appointment.

December slots fill up quickly, so book a week or two ahead and bring a clear photo of the stripe or bow you want.
