Santa in a red hood with a grey beard built up in strokes, a nutcracker in gold braid, a gingerbread house with icing piped along the roof, a red car with a fir tree tied to the roof.

Measure the widest point of your thumb nail: 14 mm is XS, 15 mm is S, 16 mm is M, 17 mm is L. Every other tip in the set is graded off that one number. Between two sizes, take the smaller one - a tip that is too wide sits on the sidewall and lifts at the edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow to wear them\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePush back the cuticle and buff the shine off the nail.

On a short square the Santa portrait would be a smudge of red and white; on a long almond there is room for the beard, the eyes and the hood to stay distinct.
