Once party season starts, the need for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lulus.com\/blog\/recipes\/prosecco-cocktails\/\">a little sparkle<\/a> seems to kick in almost automatically, and metallic nail charms are a perfect way to get into the spirit of things. That&#8217;s right, holiday nails don&#8217;t have to be emblazoned with snowflakes or ornament designs: Nude nails embellished with silver and gold decals look just as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lulus.com\/blog\/fashion\/holiday-dresses\/\">festive<\/a>&#8211;in a sophisticated, subtle way.<\/div>\n<div><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-232977\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lulus.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Lulus-Jewel-3b.jpg\" alt=\"nail charms \" width=\"1000\" height=\"1000\" \/><\/div>\n<div>The nude nail will make sure any charms or studs you use for this design will pop off the canvas and catch all the light. Nail glue will keep these charms in place (the same glue you use to apply stick-on nails that can be found in drug stores), and it&#8217;s best to use flatter, lower-profile charms if you want them to last longer on the surface of the nail. If you have thick clear UV gel with a UV lamp, that can work as charm adhesive too. Just be sure to cure all angles of your design for maximum adhesion, to help your new mani look last!<\/div>\n<div><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-232980\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lulus.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Lulus-Jewel-5b.jpg\" alt=\"holiday nails with charms\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1000\" \/><\/div>\n<div>To be honest, these holiday nails are chic enough to work for any time of year.
