Christmas Nail Ideas

christmas nail ideas

Whether you’re decking the halls with glitter or slapping on a Grinch decal, Christmas is all about festive cheer—and that includes your nails. Fortunately, a little holiday nail art goes a long way and is totally doable (especially when you’ve got the right tools). From a holly-berry manicure to a simple red and white French tip, these christmas nail ideas are sure to please.

If you’re a little more on the sophisticated side, try out a dual-finish French mani. A matte top coat on the base of your nails with a shiny polish on the tips creates an optical illusion, and it’s perfect for a Christmas look.

For a more subtle look, opt for a shimmery blue and purple nail design inspired by peppermint candies. The cool blue shade is a refreshing alternative to traditional red and green. And the white polka dots add just enough Christmas flair to your nails without going over the top.

Another way to embrace the holiday spirit is with a snowman nail design. This one is super easy and can be done on any length. Just paint your nails white, then draw a face on the index and pinky fingernails with black dots. And don’t forget the hat!

Red and white stripes are a classic look that never fails. If you want to make your stripes extra festive, use a gold nail polish to add a touch of sparkle. Alternatively, you can also add a small black bow to each nail for a more detailed look.
