Dear Santa: The New Halo Super Rich Christmas Collection

By / November 9th, 2026 / There are currently 0 comments

Dear Santa, this year I would like a new Halo collection. If that’s on your wish list, you’re in luck. The Halo Dear Santa Collection brings six statement Christmas reds in Super Rich gel polish, made for the busiest and most glamorous weeks of the salon calendar.

From deep wine reds to full-on glitter and a jewel-like cat eye, Dear Santa gives nail techs a red for every client, every occasion and every Christmas set. Here’s what you need to know about the shades, the formula and how to get the best from each one.

Why Halo Super Rich Gel Polish Is Made for Party Season

December diaries leave no room for re-dos. Super Rich is Halo’s ultra-high pigment gel polish formula from Pure Nails, and it delivers full coverage in one coat with a 60-second cure. That means faster appointments and more clients through the door when it counts.

  • One-coat coverage across all six shades
  • Ultra-high pigment with smooth, easy application
  • 60-second cure
  • Long-lasting wear that resists wrinkling and shrinkage
  • HEMA, DI-HEMA and TPO Free
  • Vegan and Cruelty Free

The TPO free formula also keeps your festive stock future-proof. Manufacturers can no longer place TPO-containing products on the GB market from 15 August 2026, and distributors must stop selling them to professionals after 14 February 2027 (Scratch). Explore our full range of HEMA free gel polish.

Meet the Halo Dear Santa Christmas Gel Polish Shades

The Halo Dear Santa Collection features six Christmas reds:

Nice

Timeless and elegant. Nice Halo Super Rich gel polish is a deep wine red with rich burgundy undertones and a glossy finish, perfect for clients who want a refined festive manicure.

Pro tip: Nice looks especially polished on short squoval nails. Add a single gold foil accent for office party sparkle.

Naughty

For clients who want a little more drama. Naughty Halo Super Rich gel polish is a deep berry red infused with fine shimmering sparkle for instant festive glamour.

Pro tip: Pair Naughty with Nice for a tonal set, using the shimmer on the ring fingers.

Mwah!

A juicy pop of colour. Mwah! Halo Super Rich gel polish is a bold, vibrant berry red with rich pink undertones and a high gloss finish.

Pro tip: Offer Mwah! to clients who usually find a true red too formal. It feels festive without feeling traditional.

Wrapped In Red

The ultimate Christmas red. Wrapped In Red Halo Super Rich gel polish is a bold classic red with a rich, vibrant tone and ultra glossy finish.

Pro tip: This is your workhorse base for Christmas nail art, from candy cane stripes to gold bows.

With Love

Time to turn up the sparkle. With Love Halo Super Rich gel polish is a rich festive red packed with fine and chunky glitter that catches the light from every angle.

Pro tip: Wear it as full coverage, or fade it over Wrapped In Red from the free edge for a glitter gradient.

Sealed With A Kiss

Luxury in a bottle. Sealed With A Kiss Halo Super Rich gel polish is a ruby red cat eye gel polish with a luminous magnetic shimmer and a multidimensional, jewel-like finish.

Pro tip: You’ll need a cat eye magnet for this shade, sold separately. Try a diagonal line on almond nails for a flash of light that moves.

Which Christmas Halo Red Suits Which Client?

Six reds means a quicker consultation. Use this as a starting point when clients sit down unsure what they want.

  • The classic client: Wrapped In Red, the instant Christmas favourite.
  • The understated client: Nice, for a rich red that stays elegant.
  • The party-goer: Naughty or Mwah!, for shimmer or a juicy pop of colour.
  • The “more is more” client: With Love or Sealed With A Kiss, for glitter or a jewel-like cat eye.

How to Apply Halo Super Rich Gel Polish

Follow these steps for a flawless, long-lasting festive finish.

  1. Shape the nails, push back the cuticles and remove any excess.
  2. Buff with a white buffing block to remove shine from the natural nail.
  3. Cleanse the nail plate with a lint-free wipe and nail cleanser.
  4. Apply a thin layer of Halo Base Coat, capping the free edge. Cure for 30 seconds.
  5. Apply one thin layer of your chosen Dear Santa shade, capping the free edge. Cure for 60 seconds.
  6. Seal with your chosen Halo Top Coat. Cure for 30 seconds.
  7. Remove the tacky layer with a lint-free wipe, or skip this step with a no-wipe top coat.
  8. Finish with a drop of cuticle oil.

How to Create the Cat Eye Effect with Sealed With A Kiss

  1. Shake the bottle well to distribute the magnetic particles.
  2. Apply one thin layer over cured base coat.
  3. Hold the magnet close to the nail for a few seconds.
  4. Cure that nail straight away to lock the effect in place.
  5. Repeat nail by nail, then seal with top coat.

Working one nail at a time stops the shimmer from drifting before it cures.

Getting Even Sparkle with With Love

With Love gives full coverage in one coat. Dab the brush rather than sweeping it to spread the chunky glitter evenly, and nudge any stray pieces into place with a detail brush before curing. For extra sparkle, explore our nail glitters.
