Choosing holiday nails

Warm brights
Coral, apricot and butter yellow look fresh against summer skin. Orange Glow and Sunburst are soft enough for every day of the trip.
Ocean blues
Turquoise and teal echo the sea and the pool. Try Turquoise or a teal glitter like Sea Siren for evenings out.
Fruit and florals
Prints like Strawberry Fields and Wild Watermelon feel playful on a beach break. Pair a print on your fingers with a plain shade on your toes.
Fingers and toes together
Match exactly, or go bright on toes and soft on fingers. White toes with coral fingers, or hot pink toes with a nude French, both look smart.
Know where you are going
City breaks suit softer shades and a glossy French. Beach and pool holidays suit brights. A cruise or a dressy dinner suits a little sparkle on one or two nails.

Holiday nails for fingers and toes

Holiday nails work hardest when fingers and toes go together. Our pedicure strips are the same real semi-cured gel as the manicure sets, cut to fit toenails.

Do both at home a day or two before you travel, and there is no need to find a salon while you are away.

Summer holiday nails are bright, warm and easy: coral, butter yellow, turquoise, hot pink and fruity prints, with matching or coordinating toes for sandals and the beach.

Velvora gel strips last up to 14 days on fingernails and often longer on toes, which suits a fortnight away. Apply them at home a day or two before you fly, and keep them away from water, soap and oils for the first three hours for the strongest hold.

Packing a spare set for later? Keep it sealed and out of the sun, because UV light is what sets the gel. When you are home, a few drops of cuticle oil around each edge lifts the strips away, with no acetone and no soaking, ready for the next trip.

Good to know

What colour nails should I get for a summer holiday?+

Coral, butter yellow, turquoise and hot pink are the summer holiday favourites, along with fruity and floral prints. White and glossy nude French tips are the calm choices that go with every outfit you pack.

How long before my holiday should I apply them?+

A day or two before you travel. Velvora gel strips last up to 14 days on fingernails, and often longer on toes, when applied to clean, dry nails and cured fully. Keep them away from water, soap and oils for the first three hours.

Can I do my toes as well?+

Yes. Our pedicure strips are the same semi-cured gel cut to fit toenails, and they often last longer on toes than on fingers. Shades like Electric Pink, Classic White, Rose Pearl and Gold Rush have matching manicure sets.

Can I take a spare set on holiday?+

You can. Keep it sealed in its packaging and out of direct sunlight, because UV light is what sets the gel. You will also need a UV or LED lamp to cure gel strips, or pack nail polish strips, which need no lamp.

How do I take holiday nails off when I get home?+

Add a few drops of cuticle oil around the edges of each strip, work an edge up with the manicure stick, then slide it under and peel. There is no acetone and no soaking.
