It’s Christmas, the stockings are carefully hung by the mantel, and your nails are polished to festive perfection. If you’ve achieved a shade of red or green nail polish (or other traditional Christmas nail polish colors), we recommend trying designs that are a little more jolly for the big day. We’re feeling inspired by the custom Christmas nail art we’ve seen on the Internet, which includes designs you can easily DIY as well as ornate details you might want to have a professional execute. But what should you try first?
Fortunately, there are a plethora of adorable Christmas nail art options to choose from. This list of impressive manicures includes everything from candy canes to glitter and ornaments to snowflakes. If a design on every nail seems too ambitious (or just too much! ), we also offer some designs that include accent nails (or a “party” nail) to spice things up without being too loud. There are also easier-than-ever nail stickers and decals for a quick holiday manicure. It’s certainly the season for glam.
