Five festive nail designs you will wish you had
From subtle Santa hats to tricky gingerbread men Ipswich nail technician Chelsea Scarlett has done them all.
Chelsea Scarlett, who has been designing nails for five years, has revealed that glitter is the latest must-have in the world of beauty.
The 24-year-old said: “Everyone has been asking for full blown glitter nails, faded glitter nails, glitter with nail art, holographic glitter.

“The list goes on! I’ve also noticed people have been really into ombré nails this year which look gorgeous combined with GLITTER!”
But glitter isn’t the only trend, Chelsea has found her clients are more adventurous around the festive period with a higher request for nail art rather than just colours.

The requests vary from Santa faces, snow flakes and what seemed the impossible tiny gingerbread men.
The Loft employee said: “The most challenging was when someone wanted lots of mini gingerbread men all over their nails. It was so intricate and difficult but looked awesome.”
