1. Classic Christmas Red with a Sparkly Twist

Timeless, elegant, and always an eye-catcher
A classic red belongs to Christmas like fairy lights and gingerbread. But with a modern twist of Manifix UV polish and transparent overlay foils, this look gets a whole new level of glamour.
Here's how:

1. Prepare nails: File your nails into shape, remove excess cuticles, and degrease the nails.

2. Apply UV nail wrap: Use a classic red or green tone, rather dark than bright. Press the edges firmly; a rosewood stick is included in each pack. It's best to smooth the foil with the silicone hoof stick. Apply a thin layer of UV polish; you have the choice of glossy, matte, holographic, or glitter. My recommendation here is classic glossy, as we now want to individualize the foils, or "pimp" them in new German. Cure your nails with the foil and UV polish under the UV lamp. 6 watts and two times 60 seconds, that's my recommendation. Tip: you can adjust uneven edges or excess with the included file, even if they have already hardened. Just make sure you hold the file straight and not at an angle as you would when shortening or shaping.

3. Transparent Overlay Foil: If you want something special, place a Manifix transparent overlay foil with a subtle glitter effect on individual nails (already Manifix-applied), e.g., ring finger or thumb. Press this down firmly too and trim any excess with sharp scissors.

4. Seal: Finally, apply a thin layer of top coat and let it air dry for 60 seconds. If you want a longer-lasting hold, simply cure it under the UV lamp again.

Tip: For an extra festive look, stick small gold star nail stickers on one nail – this gives your red design an elegant, festive finish. TIP: you can also peel off the overlays (consisting of top coat and normal nail foil) from your UV nail foils without damaging the underlying foil. Ideal for a quick and temporary change of look. Depending on your mood and the next occasion. Create individual looks in no time, right at home.

Winter Wonderland – Snowflakes & Glitter

For all who love the magic of winter -
This design brings the magic of a snowy morning directly to your nails. White, silver, and a touch of glitter create an elegant yet playful finish.
Here's how to create the look:

1. Base color: Choose Manifix UV polish, e.g., in the color BLUSH or a light blue pastel shade like GIN. Manifix them as described above.

2. Nail foils: Place a Manifix (regular) nail foil with glitter or stars on some nails. Particularly beautiful: foils with silver snowflakes or holographic shimmer. Holo effect with UV polish HOLO, brush on and cure under lamp. For more accents, only do this on one or two fingers.

3. Add accents: Use nail stickers in the shape of snowflakes or small stars. Position them asymmetrically – this looks modern and light. You can easily stick nail stickers onto your existing UV nail foils, press them down, and secure them with the TOP COAT. Alternatively, of course, with the UV polish of your choice plus 60 seconds under the UV lamp.

4. Overlay foil: For an "iced" effect, you can place a transparent overlay foil over individual nails. Choose one from the "transparent" category.

Extra tip: Combine matte and glossy surfaces – this looks especially luxurious. Especially on dark green or red as a base color.

Glitter & Glamour – the perfect New Year's Eve nail design

Start the new year sparkling - On New Year's Eve, it can be a little more – more shine, more radiance, more WOW! With Manifix UV nail wraps in gold, silver, or rose gold, your look is guaranteed to be an eye-catcher at any party. Pimp any base color according to your own creativity. Step-by-step instructions:

1. Apply base: Manifix your nails with UV nail wrap, e.g., in the color: DONNA, NUDE, and Manifix UV polish glossy, transparent. Apply glitter foils: Add accents with UV nail wraps in gold or silver. You can use the foils as full cover or just decorate the nail tips – French style with a sparkle factor!

2. Transparent overlay: Place a Manifix "overlay" foil over all nails – it additionally protects your underlying UV nail wraps and creates the typical WOW effect.

3. Sticker highlight: Add small star or firework stickers to complete the New Year's Eve feeling. Don't forget to seal the stickers with regular "Top Coat."

Pro tip: Combine different textures – e.g., a matte base color with glossy foil accents. This makes your look sophisticated and professional.

Elegant & Subtle – Nude with Gold Accents

Minimalist, yet luxurious
If you prefer a subtle, elegant design during the holidays, this look is ideal. Nude tones combined with delicate gold lines or stickers appear modern, clean, and still festive.

Here's how it works:

1. Base color: Beige or rose. E.g., Manifix "Creme Rose" (Caution: in my opinion, only suitable for even and healthy nails, as it is slightly translucent) Also colors: "Miss me", "Rich Babyboomer", "Noble Nude" are excellent for this look.

2. Fine lines: these create a quick, unique look. Strips in various glitter tones are also available very affordably from Manifix. You can simply shorten the strips to your desired length with nail scissors. Tip: cut directly on the carrier paper and remove the strip from the carrier with tweezers. Place the narrow strip on the nail of your choice, which already has UV nail wrap applied, e.g., in the middle or diagonally on the nail.

3. Sticker accents: Add some adhesive stickers of your choice, but don't overdo it. A small gold star or mini snowflake sticker is enough to enhance the design.

4. Seal: Manifix stickers and nail wraps last about a week with the Top Coat. Your UV nail wrap underneath remains undamaged.

Why it works:
This design suits every outfit, every occasion, and still looks well-groomed even after days – ideal for the holidays and New Year.

Creative & Playful – Mix & Match Design – the fastest option

For all who like to stand out
If you can't decide, why not combine all the looks? The so-called Mix & Match design is one of the top trends of the season.
Here's how to create your personal highlight:

1. Choose three to four designs: For example, combine red, gold, glitter, green, or white. IDEAL for repurposing your leftover UV nail wraps.

2. Mix UV nail wraps & polish: Use Manifix UV nail wraps for some nails and UV polish glossy and for others simply another UV polish of your choice.

3. Use overlay foils: They visually connect the different designs and ensure a consistent finish.

4. Stickers & details: Add small nail stickers to individual nails, e.g., a star or a snowflake – but don't overdo it.

The advantage:
This design is absolutely individual. No two nails are alike – and that's exactly what makes it so special. You also use all the remnants you still have at home. TIP: always cut the foils that are to be used for your toenails or to set accents directly on the carrier.

Conclusion: Festive nails made easy
