Fire and metal, how's that for a pair! Velvet effect is achieved through metallic shades of grey and texture, but what stands out here is that there's more than velvety softness to the wearer.

Holidays-themed and playing with negative space; oh, jingle bells, we wouldn't mind if these were the tips of our fingers, reaching sneakily into a Christmas stocking.

We love the color combination and the matte velvet effect. Paired with textured detailing, it makes these nails really stand out, but in a gentle way.

The matte effect in green and beige, paired with animal print detailing, give off the feel that these nails are the softest thing to touch.
