All that glitters

This mix of a milky sheen and glitter finishes is perfect for those who love classic styles but want to switch things up for the festive season. It keeps the neutral vibe you know and love while adding a twist that’s sure to bring the holiday spirit. All you need is a milky polish to create a smooth, neutral base followed by a coat of glitter polish in the shade of your choice. We recommend rose gold or silver for the perfect festive finish.

Gilded glam

If you’re ready to go all out, this look delivers in every way. Think chrome finishes, 3D embellishments and eye-catching textures that are guaranteed to turn heads. Inspired by the extravagant spirit of Diwali, this manicure is all about embracing boldness and glamour for the ultimate OTT finish. Pair the maximalist design with a razor-sharp almond shape to serve some serious edge and attitude. It’s the perfect pick for anyone craving something striking, statement-making and unapologetically avant-garde.

Serving butter

Butter yellow is the colour of the season—and for good reason. It’s subtle yet makes a statement, neutral enough to go with everything but bold enough to stand out. Best of all, it’s perfect for every festive occasion. Start with a butter yellow polish, then finish with a layer of chrome to add the sparkle and shine the season calls for. In no time, you’ll have a manicure that perfectly balances your everyday go-to with something that elevates your festive look.

Molten hues

Not a fan of yellows and golds? Try experimenting with shades like rust, chocolate brown and deep red. These tones bring a moody, rich and luxurious energy that speaks for itself. This dual-toned brown French mani offers an after-dark upgrade to the classic, with the gold border adding just the right touch of drama. Play with timeless designs in these deeper hues—you don’t have to give up your go-to finishes, just give them a fresh twist that ties the whole look together.

KIKO Milano Smart Nail Lacquer - 12 Scarlet Red (7 ml)
Nails Our Way Swift Dry Nail Enamel - Rust Retrograde (10 ml)

Royal tones

Love colour? Go beyond rich browns and reds and experiment with emerald greens and navy blues. These shades pair beautifully with most festive outfits—especially metallics like gold and silver—and bring the oomph a festive manicure deserves. Finish the look with chrome, glitter like the one here, or even embellished and gilded nail art for a finish that looks straight out of a painting. Or keep it simple with a single coat of your favourite solid shade for an effortlessly chic touch.

Foil finishes

Last but not least, one of the most fun ways to elevate your manicure is with foil art. It adds the perfect sheen and shine for Diwali, and you can experiment with different colours, textures and patterns before sealing it with a foil finish. Start with a polish of your choice, use an applicator to press on the foil and complete the look with a top coat to lock everything in.
