Christmas time is the best time to bring out the creativity in you. And, what a better way to display your festive side than getting a holiday-themed manicure?
There are so many beautiful designs you can choose from to make your nails really stand out. I’ve got just a few ideas here to provide you with some inspiration before you head out to the nail salon.
1. Ugly Sweater Nails
I know these might look very elaborate but don’t worry. You can accomplish something like this using festive nail stamps. I really dig this look.
2. These Gel Nails
I’m in love with the color combination here, and this snowflake design is absolutely amazing. I would be so happy to get this done.
3. These Snowflake Nails
A simple snowflake accent is sometimes all you need to get your mani in the holly jolly spirit!
4. This Cute Design
Isn’t this absolutely adorable? I bet my niece would get a total kick out of these nails. She would probably ask her mom for these. Hee, hee.
5. These French Tips
Here’s another awesome holiday-inspired nail look. I love how they didn’t paint all the nails and kept some as French tips only. Great idea.
6. This Pattern
It’s hard to find a unique Christmas-themed pattern that hasn’t been done before. I think this one fits the bill so well. Very pretty and fun.
7. This Glitter Dusted Design
If you’re looking for something really natural-looking and sparkly, look no further than this fantastic glitter-dusted nail technique. I absolutely adore this.
8. This String Lights Idea
Oh my gosh, what a cool and fun idea! I wouldn’t have thought of replicating string lights right on my nails but this works great.
9. These Christmas Trees
I think these nails are something I could actually do myself. This is simple using dark green color and a steady hand for the tree pattern.
10. These Penguins
Oh wow, another super adorable idea. I couldn’t do this myself but a skilled nail artist can definitely pull this off. This is just too cute. Hee, hee.
11. These Festive Nails
So many patterns and sparkly nails here. I love the idea of having a few different designs instead of just repeating the same one.
12. These Snowman
Adorable snowman are easy to add to your nails if you follow these simple steps.
13. This Simplicity
This gorgeous nail color combined with a pretty Christmas tree design is what I’m looking for. I love the simplicity of this and the festive mood.
Looking at these festive holiday-inspired nail design ideas is making me want to run to my nearest nail salon.
Hmm, I might actually do something like it this season.
