Christmas Nails by Andrea Fulerton

I asked Andrea Fulerton if she could tell us how to get the ultimate Christmas nails. Here's what she had to say...


 "Classic red for Christmas, a divine shade that suits all is my Andrea Fulerton Nail Boutique ‘Jessica’ named after client Jessica Alba another gorgeous red is L’Oreal Resist & Shine 651a richer darker red.

With any strong colour always use a base coat to protect your natural nail from staining such as Revlon Calcium Nail Gel  which has the added bonus of strengthening too. 

When painting allow a minute or two between coats to let the varnish settle though if your in a rush Revlon Red will apply in just one even coat. 

Anchor your hand down to a flat surface to get a steadier control [less wombly lines]

Bling up your festive season nails by adding a few Andrea Fulerton Nail Boutique Gemstones or Aurora pearls to accent a nail by dabbing them directly onto semi wet varnish and seal down with a Top Coat."

And to prove how doable this is - here is my (obviously non-professional) attempt (with Andrea Fulerton Nail Boutique Gold studs rather than the Crystal Gemstones). How Christmassy is that?! AND I should be excused from all dishwashing duty to keep them looking tip top over the festive period.
