Introduction
Red is the easiest Christmas colour to wear, and it is also the easiest to get wrong. A red French tip can look polished and expensive, or it can look loud, uneven and hard to match with an outfit. The difference is usually the shade, the width of the tip and the base underneath it — not how much decoration is added.
This guide focuses only on red Christmas French tip nails. Every design below keeps red as the main tip colour, but changes something real: the shade of red, the finish, the nail shape, the length, or the Christmas detail. That way you can find a red tip that works for a quiet family dinner, a work party, Christmas Eve, or a full holiday photoshoot, without scrolling through green, gold and silver designs you did not ask for.
Use the designs as inspiration to show your nail technician, or as a starting point for a simpler at-home version. If a design looks too detailed, keep its red shade and tip shape and leave out one accent nail. The red itself already carries the Christmas feeling.
How to Choose the Right Red for Christmas
Start with your skin tone and your outfit, not with the brightest red in the salon. Cherry red and candy-apple red look fresh and bright, and they suit fair to medium skin and lighter holiday outfits. Deep burgundy, wine and oxblood reds look richer and more formal, and they pair well with dark dresses, velvet, gold jewellery and evening makeup. If you are unsure, a medium classic red with a sheer pink base is the safest choice because it reads as Christmas without looking too dark or too bright.
Next, choose the tip width. A thin micro tip keeps red subtle and work-friendly, while a deep smile line makes red the clear focus of the manicure. Short nails usually look cleaner with a thinner tip, because a very deep red tip can make a short nail look even shorter. Long almond or coffin nails can carry a deeper tip, glitter, plaid or a snowflake accent without looking crowded.
Finally, decide how much Christmas detail you want. One snowflake, one bow or one gold line is enough for most events. Full candy-cane stripes, plaid and lights on every nail look best for parties and photos, but they are harder to wear to work the next day. A good rule is to put the detailed art on one or two accent nails and keep the other nails as clean red French tips.
25 Red Christmas French Tip Designs
1. Classic Cherry Red Tips on Almond Nails
This design is the cleanest version of a red Christmas French tip, and it works because nothing competes with the red. A sheer pink base keeps the nail bed looking natural, while a bright cherry red tip follows a smooth smile line. The nails are medium-length almond, which softens the bright colour and makes the hands look longer without feeling dramatic. A high-gloss top coat gives the red a fresh, polished shine that reads well in photos and in low party light. Wear this set to a Christmas dinner, a family gathering or a work party when you want festive nails that still look professional. It pairs well with gold or silver jewellery, a black dress, a red dress, or a simple knit sweater. To recreate it, paint the base in two thin sheer coats, then paint the tip freehand or with a guide, keeping the smile line even on both sides. If cherry red feels too bright, switch to a slightly deeper classic red and keep the same shape and base.
2. Deep Burgundy Red Tips on Short Square Nails
Deep burgundy gives Christmas red a quieter, more expensive feeling, especially on short square nails. The tip is a rich wine red with a straight, neat edge that suits the square shape, while the base stays sheer nude so the contrast is clear but not harsh. Short length keeps the set practical for typing, cooking, wrapping gifts and everyday holiday tasks, and the darker shade hides small chips better than bright red. A glossy finish adds depth to the burgundy without making it look black in indoor light. This is a strong choice for a formal dinner, a winter wedding guest look, or an office Christmas party. It looks beautiful with gold rings, a dark green or black outfit, and soft berry lipstick. To recreate it, choose a burgundy polish that still shows red in daylight, not purple, and seal the free edge with top coat. If your nails are very short, keep the tip thinner so the nail bed does not look too small.
3. Bright Candy-Apple Red Tips on Long Coffin Nails
Candy-apple red is the boldest red in this guide, and long coffin nails give it room to shine. The tip is bright, glossy and slightly deep, following the straight sides of the coffin shape before ending in a flat, softened edge. A milky pink base prevents the bright red from looking flat, and the length makes the smile line look crisp from every angle. This set is made for parties, photos and New Year celebrations rather than quiet everyday wear, because the colour and length both draw attention. Pair it with a simple outfit so the nails become the statement, or match it with a red lip for a coordinated holiday look. To recreate it, build the length first with extensions or press-ons if your natural nails are short, then paint the red in two thin coats to avoid streaks. Keep the other hand identical in tip depth, because uneven tips are more noticeable on long nails.
4. Matte Crimson Red Tips on Short Square Nails
Matte crimson changes the whole mood of a red Christmas tip by removing shine and leaving a soft, velvety colour. The tip is a true crimson red with a clean square edge, while the base is a sheer beige-pink that keeps the look natural. Short square length makes the matte finish feel modern rather than heavy, and it is a good option if glossy nails feel too dressy for your everyday style. Matte red looks especially good with knitwear, wool coats and casual holiday outfits, and it photographs with a softer, more editorial feeling than gloss. The only drawback is that matte top coat can show marks more easily, so avoid rough handling on the first day. For a related matte finish idea, see the site’s matte French tip article. To recreate this look, apply a matte top coat only after the red is fully dry, and keep a small bottle for touch-ups during the holidays.
5. Red Glitter Tips on Medium Almond Nails
Red glitter tips add instant Christmas sparkle without needing any painted art. The tip is built from fine red glitter over a sheer pink base, with the glitter densest at the free edge and slightly softer near the smile line. Medium almond nails give the glitter a curved surface that catches light as the hand moves, which makes this set look festive in photos and at evening parties. This design is ideal for Christmas Eve, a holiday party or a night out, and it works well with gold, silver or black outfits because the red glitter already provides the colour. Keep the glitter only on the tips, not on the whole nail, so the French shape stays clear. For more glitter French tip ideas in general, see the site’s glitter French tip article. To recreate it, press loose glitter or a glitter polish onto the tip while the polish is still tacky, then seal with two coats of glossy top coat to smooth the surface.
6. Red Tips with Gold Foil on Oval Nails
Gold foil turns a simple red French tip into a luxury Christmas set without adding a second colour tip. The base is sheer nude, the tip is classic red with a curved smile line, and small pieces of gold foil sit along the smile line or on one corner of each tip. Medium oval nails suit this design because the rounded shape keeps the foil feeling soft rather than sharp, and the length is long enough for the foil to be visible without crowding the nail. Wear it to a formal Christmas party, a winter wedding or a New Year dinner, especially with gold jewellery and a dark dress. The foil catches light in a different way from glitter, so it looks more like jewellery than sparkle. For more gold French tip ideas, see the site’s gold French tip article. To recreate it, apply foil pieces with tweezers onto a tacky top coat layer, press gently, then seal with a thick glossy top coat so the edges do not lift.
7. Red Micro Tips on Short Round Nails
Red micro tips are the quietest Christmas option in this guide, and they are perfect if you want festive nails that still look safe for work. The tip is only a thin red line at the very edge of the nail, while the base is a natural sheer pink that looks close to a bare nail. Short round nails make the micro tip look neat and intentional, rather than unfinished, and the round shape is comfortable for everyday tasks. This set works for an office Christmas week, a school event, or anyone who prefers minimal nails but still wants a touch of red. Pair it with any outfit, because the red is too thin to clash with colours or patterns. For more thin-tip ideas, see the site’s micro French tip article. To recreate it, use a thin detail brush and paint only the free edge, then clean up the smile line with a flat brush dipped in polish remover before sealing.
8. Red Ombre Tips on Medium Coffin Nails
Red ombre tips soften the usual sharp French line by fading red into the base instead of stopping at a clear smile line. The nail starts with a milky nude base near the cuticle and gradually deepens into cherry red toward the free edge, with no harsh border in between. Medium coffin nails give the fade enough length to look smooth, and the straight sides keep the design modern rather than blurry. This is a good choice if you love red but find a classic French tip too strict, or if you want a Christmas set that also works in January. Wear it to parties, dinners and photoshoots, and pair it with simple jewellery so the fade remains the focus. For more faded-tip ideas, see the site’s ombre French tip article. To recreate it, sponge the red onto the tip in light layers, blending upward, and finish with a glossy top coat to smooth the transition.
9. Red Plaid Tips on Long Coffin Nails
Red plaid tips bring a cosy, sweater-like pattern to Christmas nails without covering the whole nail in art. The tip is painted in a deep red base, then crossed with thin white and dark green lines to create a small plaid pattern only on the free edge. Long coffin nails are important here because the plaid needs space to read clearly; on very short nails the lines can look messy. A sheer pink base keeps the rest of the nail clean, so the plaid feels like a festive detail rather than a busy print. This design is ideal for a Christmas party, a winter cabin weekend or holiday photos, and it pairs beautifully with plaid scarves, knit sweaters and boots. To recreate it, paint the red tip first and let it dry fully, then use a striping brush for the crossing lines and keep the lines thinner than you think you need. Seal carefully so the lines do not smudge.
10. Red Tips with a Snowflake Accent on Almond Nails
This design keeps most nails as clean red French tips and saves the snowflake for one accent nail per hand, usually the ring finger. The main tips are classic cherry red with a curved smile line on a sheer pink base, while the accent nail has a white snowflake painted over a red tip or on a clear section near the tip. Medium almond nails suit the snowflake because the tapered shape gives the small white lines room to spread without looking crowded. Wear this set to Christmas Eve, a winter party or a family photo, when you want one clear Christmas symbol rather than art on every nail. It pairs well with silver jewellery, a white sweater or a dark coat. To recreate it, paint the snowflake with a detail brush using six thin lines from a central dot, then add tiny branches. If freehand snowflakes feel difficult, use a small snowflake sticker and seal it well.
11. Red Candy Cane Stripe Tips on Square Nails
Candy cane stripes turn the French tip into a playful Christmas treat, but the square shape keeps it looking neat. The tip is white at its base with diagonal red stripes running across it, creating the classic candy cane effect only on the free edge. Medium square nails work best because the straight tip gives the stripes a clean frame, while a sheer nude base keeps the rest of the nail simple. This set is fun for Christmas parties, holiday baking days and photos with children, and it pairs well with red, white or black outfits. It is less suited to a formal office event, unless you keep the stripes only on one accent nail. To recreate it, paint the tip white first, let it dry, then add thin red diagonal lines with a striping brush, keeping the spacing even. A glossy top coat will smooth the stripes and make the red look like wrapped candy.
12. Red and White Swirl Tips on Long Stiletto Nails
Red and white swirls give Christmas nails a sense of movement that a straight French tip cannot. The tip blends deep red and soft white in thin, flowing curves that follow the pointed stiletto shape, while the base stays sheer pink so the swirls remain the focus. Long stiletto nails are needed for this design because the swirl lines need length to curve gracefully; on short nails they can look cramped. This is a statement set for parties, photoshoots and New Year celebrations, and it looks best with a simple outfit and minimal rings so the nails do the talking. To recreate it, paint the red tip first, then drag a thin brush with white polish through the red while it is still slightly wet, creating soft curves rather than sharp lines. Practise on one nail first, because swirl pressure changes the pattern quickly.
13. Red Velvet Tips on Short Almond Nails
Red velvet tips use a magnetic or velvet-effect polish to give the tip a soft, light-shifting shimmer that looks like fabric. The tip is a deep red with a subtle glow that moves as the hand turns, while the base is a milky nude that keeps the effect elegant. Short almond nails suit velvet because the rounded shape softens the shimmer and the short length keeps the look wearable every day, not only at parties. This design is ideal for winter dinners, holiday shopping days and cosy Christmas gatherings, and it pairs beautifully with velvet dresses, knitwear and gold jewellery. To recreate it, apply the magnetic polish to the tip only, hold a magnet close for a few seconds as directed by the product, then seal with top coat. Do not use a matte top coat here, because it can dull the velvet glow.
14. Red Chrome Tips on Medium Coffin Nails
Red chrome tips replace flat red polish with a mirror-like reflective surface that looks modern and festive. The tip is a bright red chrome powder sealed over a red base, giving a liquid-metal shine that stands out in photos and party light. Medium coffin nails provide a flat, even surface for the chrome, which helps the reflection look smooth rather than patchy. A sheer pink base keeps the design clearly French, rather than a full red nail. Wear this set to a Christmas party, a club night or a New Year event, and keep jewellery simple so the chrome remains the highlight. To recreate it, apply the red base, cure or dry it fully, rub chrome powder over the tip only with a sponge applicator, dust off the excess, and seal with a no-wipe top coat. Chrome needs a smooth base, so buff gently before starting.
15. Red Tips with Tiny Gold Stars on Short Almond Nails
Tiny gold stars make red French tips feel like a Christmas night sky, without needing a full painted scene. The main tips are classic red with a curved smile line on a sheer nude base, while one or two small gold stars sit near the smile line on each nail or on accent nails only. Short almond nails keep the stars looking delicate, because the small nail surface prevents the design from feeling crowded. This set works for Christmas Eve, a holiday dinner or a party, and it pairs well with gold earrings, a black dress or a deep green outfit. To recreate it, place tiny gold star stickers or hand-painted stars with a dotting tool while the red is dry, then seal with top coat so the stars do not catch on clothing. Keep the stars the same size on every nail for a polished result.
16. Red Tips with Holly Berry Accents on Oval Nails
Holly berry accents give red French tips a traditional Christmas plant detail that is easy to recognise. The main tips are a medium red with a curved smile line on a sheer pink base, while the accent nail carries two small green holly leaves and three tiny red berries near the cuticle or tip. Short to medium oval nails suit this design because the rounded shape matches the soft, natural feeling of holly. Wear it to a family Christmas, a church service or a traditional holiday dinner, and pair it with green, gold or cream outfits. The green leaves are the only green in the set, so the red still dominates. To recreate it, paint the leaves with a detail brush in a dark green, add red dots for berries, and keep the accent to one nail per hand. If freehand leaves feel hard, use small holly stickers and seal them well.
17. Red Tips with a Silver Glitter Outline on Long Square Nails
A silver glitter outline adds a crisp, icy border to a red French tip without changing the red itself. The tip is a deep red with a straight square edge, and a thin line of silver glitter follows the smile line where the red meets the base. Long square nails make the outline easy to see, because the straight smile line gives the glitter a clean path. A sheer nude base keeps the contrast sharp, and the silver adds a winter feeling that works for Christmas and New Year alike. This set is ideal for evening parties, photos and formal events, and it pairs well with silver jewellery and dark outfits. To recreate it, paint the red tip first and let it dry, then draw the silver glitter line with a thin brush, keeping it even and close to the smile line. Seal with top coat so the glitter feels smooth.
18. Deep Wine Red Tips with Pearl Accents on Long Almond Nails
Deep wine red with pearl accents is the most elegant red Christmas design in this guide, and it suits long almond nails beautifully. The tip is a dark wine red with a deep, curved smile line, while one small white pearl sits near the smile line on each nail or on accent nails only. A milky pink base softens the dark red, and the almond shape makes the whole set look graceful rather than heavy. Wear this to a formal Christmas dinner, a winter wedding or a New Year gala, especially with pearl earrings, a satin dress or a velvet outfit. The pearls should be tiny and flat-backed so they do not catch on fabric. To recreate it, place pearls with tweezers onto a dot of nail glue or tacky top coat, press gently, then seal around — not heavily over — the pearl to keep its shine.
19. Red Tips with White Polka Dots on Squoval Nails
White polka dots on red tips create a playful, snowfall-like effect that is much easier than painting snowflakes. The tip is a bright red with a curved smile line, and small white dots of different sizes sit across the red area, like snow falling on a red background. Medium squoval nails — square with softened corners — suit the dots because the shape is neat but not sharp, and the medium length gives the dots room to spread. A sheer pink base keeps the design light, and the set works for casual Christmas parties, holiday photos and festive days at home. Pair it with a white sweater, a red dress or simple silver jewellery. To recreate it, use dotting tools in two sizes, place the largest dots first, then fill gaps with smaller dots, and seal with a glossy top coat. Keep the dot pattern random, not in rows, for a natural snowfall look.
20. Red Double French Lines on Short Coffin Nails
Double French lines add structure to a red tip by using two red lines instead of one solid tip. The nail has a sheer nude base, a thin red line following the smile line, and a second, slightly thicker red line near the free edge, leaving a small nude gap between them. Short coffin nails suit this design because the tapered shape makes the two lines look intentional and modern, even at a short length. This set is a good choice if you want something different from a classic red tip but still want to wear it to work, a dinner or a party. It pairs well with minimal jewellery and simple outfits, because the lines themselves are the detail. To recreate it, paint the first thin line with a striping brush, let it dry, then paint the second line closer to the edge, keeping both lines parallel. A steady hand matters more here than speed, so rest your hand on a table.
21. Red Reverse French Tips on Medium Almond Nails
Reverse French tips flip the usual design by placing the red accent near the cuticle instead of at the free edge. The main nail is a sheer nude or milky pink, and a thin curved red line follows the cuticle area, like a smile line turned upside down. Medium almond nails suit this design because the rounded shape echoes the curved cuticle line and the length gives the eye a clear path from cuticle to tip. This set is ideal if you want a subtle Christmas nod that looks modern and different, and it works well for work, dinners and parties where a full red tip might feel too bold. Pair it with gold or rose-gold jewellery and a simple outfit. To recreate it, paint the base first, then use a detail brush to draw a thin red curve just above the cuticle, keeping it even on every nail. Seal with top coat and avoid flooding the cuticle with polish.
22. Red Tips with a Gold Bow on Almond Nails
A gold bow turns a red French tip into a coquette-style Christmas set that still looks polished. The main tips are classic cherry red with a curved smile line on a sheer pink base, while one accent nail per hand carries a small gold bow near the tip or smile line. Medium almond nails suit the bow because the tapered shape keeps the bow from looking too large, and the medium length gives it a clear place to sit. Wear this set to a Christmas party, a holiday photoshoot or a festive dinner, especially with gold jewellery and a soft, feminine outfit. Keep the bow small and flat so it does not catch on sweaters. To recreate it, use a tiny gold bow charm or paint a simple bow with two loops and a centre dot, then seal it carefully. If charms feel too much for everyday wear, keep the bow only on the ring fingers.
23. Alternating Red and Green Tips on Coffin Nails
Alternating red and green tips give you both classic Christmas colours while keeping red as the lead colour of the set. Most nails have a red French tip on a sheer nude base, while one or two nails per hand have a deep green tip instead, creating a clear red-green rhythm across the hand. Medium to long coffin nails suit this pattern because the length makes the alternation easy to see, and the straight sides keep the two colours looking deliberate rather than random. This set is best for Christmas parties, family gatherings and holiday photos, and it pairs well with red, green, black or gold outfits. To keep the focus on red, use red on at least six nails and green on only the ring fingers or pinkies. To recreate it, paint all red tips first, then paint the green accent tips, keeping the smile line depth the same on every nail so the pattern looks even.
24. Red Glazed Tips on Short Oval Nails
Red glazed tips combine red with a pearl-chrome glow, giving a soft, lit-from-within shine rather than a flat colour. The tip is a medium red sealed with a pearl glaze that adds a gentle shimmer, while the base is a milky white-pink that makes the glaze look clean. Short oval nails suit this finish because the rounded shape spreads the glaze evenly and the short length keeps the look fresh for everyday wear. This set works for Christmas dinners, work parties and winter weddings, and it pairs well with pearl jewellery, satin and soft knitwear. It is also a good choice if glitter feels too bold but plain red feels too simple. To recreate it, apply red polish to the tip, add a thin pearl chrome powder or a pearl top coat over the tip only, then seal with a glossy top coat. Keep the glaze light, because too much pearl can turn the red pink.
25. Red Tips with Christmas Lights on Long Almond Nails
Christmas lights are the most festive design in this guide, and long almond nails give the lights room to curve naturally. The main tips are classic red with a curved smile line on a sheer pink base, while one accent nail per hand carries a thin dark green or black curved line with tiny coloured dots hanging from it, like a string of lights. Long almond nails suit this art because the curve of the nail follows the curve of the light string, and the length prevents the dots from looking crowded. Wear this set to a Christmas party, a holiday photoshoot or Christmas Eve, and keep the rest of your outfit simple so the lights stand out. To recreate it, paint the red tips first, then draw the string line with a detail brush, add dots in red, green, gold and white, and seal with top coat. Keep the lights only on accent nails so the set still reads as red French tips.
Red Christmas Tips by Shape and Length
Almond and oval shapes soften bright red and suit most hands, which is why many designs above use them. Square and squoval shapes make red look cleaner and more modern, especially for short nails and work-friendly sets. Coffin nails suit deeper tips, plaid and alternating colours because they give art more space, while stiletto nails should be saved for swirls and other statement designs. For length, short nails look best with thin, matte, micro or glazed red tips, medium nails can carry almost every design in this guide, and long nails are best for plaid, lights, swirls and chrome, where detail needs room to show.
Styling Red Christmas Tips for Different Occasions
For work, choose micro, matte, double-line or short classic red tips and skip large charms. For a family Christmas, choose classic cherry red, holly, snowflake or polka-dot tips that feel festive without being fragile. For a formal party, choose burgundy, wine with pearls, gold foil, gold stars or red chrome, and match your jewellery to the accent colour, not to every colour in the set. For photos, choose a design with clear contrast — red on a sheer pink or milky base photographs better than red on a dark base — and check the tips in daylight before the event, because some burgundy shades look almost black in low light.
How to Make Red Tips Last Through the Holidays
Red polish shows chips more clearly than nude polish, so preparation matters. Push back cuticles gently, remove oil from the nail plate, and use a base coat that suits your nail type. Paint in thin coats, wrap the free edge with polish and top coat, and reapply a thin top coat every two to three days during Christmas week. Avoid long soaks in hot water, wear gloves for washing up, and keep a matching red polish at home for small tip repairs. If a tip chips, file the edge smooth, repaint only the tip, and seal it — repainting the whole nail is rarely needed. For gel or press-on versions, follow the product instructions for curing and removal, and never peel a set off, because peeling can damage the natural nail underneath.
Frequently Asked Questions
What shade of red is best for Christmas French tip nails?
Classic cherry red is the safest all-round choice, burgundy and wine red suit formal events, and candy-apple red suits parties and photos. If you are unsure, choose a medium classic red with a sheer pink base, because it looks festive on most skin tones and matches most holiday outfits.
Do red Christmas French tips suit short nails?
Yes. Short nails look best with a thinner red tip, a micro tip, a matte finish or a glazed finish. Avoid a very deep red tip on very short nails, because it can make the nail bed look smaller. Short almond, oval and square shapes all work well with red.
Are red French tips too bold for work at Christmas?
Not if you choose the right version. A thin micro red tip, a matte crimson tip or a short classic red tip is work-friendly. Save glitter, plaid, lights and large charms for parties, and keep detailed art to one accent nail if you need to wear the set to work the next day.
What base colour works best under red Christmas tips?
A sheer pink or sheer nude base works best for most red designs, because it keeps the nail bed looking natural and lets the red stand out. A milky white-pink base suits glazed and pearl designs, while a sheer beige-pink base suits matte and burgundy designs.
How do I stop red polish from staining my nails?
Use a good base coat before any red polish, and do not skip it even for a French tip. If staining has already happened, the colour usually fades as the nail grows out. A base coat, thin polish layers and gentle removal help reduce staining on future manicures.
Can I do red Christmas French tips at home without a salon visit?
Yes, especially classic, micro, polka-dot and glitter-tip versions. Use guides or tape for the smile line, paint in thin coats, and clean up the edges with a flat brush and polish remover. Detailed designs such as plaid, lights and snowflakes take more practise, so try them on one accent nail first.
Do red French tips go with gold or silver jewellery?
Both work. Gold suits warm reds, gold foil, gold stars and burgundy shades. Silver suits bright red, silver glitter outlines, snowflakes and icy winter outfits. Match your jewellery to the accent in the design — gold with gold foil, silver with a silver outline — rather than mixing both metals in one set.
How long do red Christmas French tips usually last?
Regular polish usually lasts about five to seven days with careful wear and a top-coat refresh, gel usually lasts about two to three weeks, and press-on sets vary by product and application. Actual wear time depends on nail preparation, daily tasks and whether the free edge was sealed. No exact wear time can be promised for every person.
What should I ask for at the salon for red Christmas French tips?
Show a photo of the exact design, name the shade family — cherry, burgundy or candy-apple red — and state the shape, length and tip width you want. Also say whether you want gloss, matte, glitter or chrome, and whether art should be on every nail or only on accent nails. A photo plus those four details prevents most misunderstandings.
Can red Christmas French tips work after Christmas?
Yes, if you choose a version without Christmas motifs. Classic cherry red, burgundy, matte crimson, chrome and glazed red tips work well into January and for winter parties. Remove snowflakes, candy canes, plaid, holly and lights if you want the set to last past the holiday season.
Final Thoughts
Red Christmas French tip nails work because red already does most of the festive work for you. You do not need art on every nail, the brightest shade in the salon, or the longest length to make the set feel like Christmas. Choose a red that suits your skin tone and outfit, choose a tip width that suits your nail length, and add detail only where it will actually be seen and enjoyed.
If you want one safe choice, start with classic cherry red on medium almond nails. If you want one elegant choice, try deep burgundy or wine red with a pearl or gold accent. If you want one fun choice, try plaid, candy cane or Christmas lights on accent nails only. Whichever design you choose, keep the smile line even, seal the free edge, and let the red be the star.
