Lovely Lights

Christmas lights always capture our gaze, so why not add them to your manicure? This nude, shimmery set is made more striking with hand-painted holiday lights.

Big Bows

A giant present deserves a giant bow, and this mani idea is a giant present.

Festive Mix-and-Match

When it comes to holiday manicures, the more glitter, the better. This mix-and-match set incorporates shimmer in various ways, from French tips to swirls.

Red and White Vibes

When we think of Christmas colors, red and white immediately come to mind. Have fun with the seasonal shades (OPI’s Alpine Snow and Big Apple Red are classics) and recreate this whimsical mismatched set.

Golden Bows

Elevate your glossy red nails with golden bow decals. The result gives coquette Christmas vibes.

Holly Jolly

Minimalists will appreciate that this short mani skips the colorful polish and focuses on the nail art instead. In this case, beautiful holly plants grace each nail.

Tiny Trees

Yes, there is a way to incorporate Christmas trees in a minimalist way. Case in point: this baby pink mani with tiny trees.

Seasonal Stickers

After looking at this set, we’re inspired to create a Christmas collage on our nails. Grab fun stickers—like candy canes and gingerbread men—and add them all over each nail.

Gold French

Enjoy Christmas with a gold, glamorous French manicure. The best part? It’s also perfect for any New Year’s Eve celebration.

Christmas Plaid

Is there a print more synonymous with Christmas than plaid? We think not. If you want to get in on the trend, consider this red and green take.

Royal Red

We’ll never grow tired of a red manicure because there are so many ways to use the shade. This set, for instance, uses shimmery ruby polish and incorporates cool abstract accent nails.

Glamorous Black French

Here’s one way to give a black French manicure a Christmassy vibe. Simply add colorful gemstones, and you’re good to go.

Pearly Red French

To make a red French manicure feel extra special, add pearls along the arch of each tip. It’s such a festive, cheery take on the classic mani.

Red Bows

During the holidays, there are bows galore. Embrace them in your beauty routine this Christmas with a chic bow manicure.

Blue Chrome

Blue is indeed a Christmas color, especially a metallic blue like this one. To get the look, apply a deep blue polish and chrome powder on top.

Dazzling Emerald

We all know that green is one of the most popular hues of the holiday. This emerald stiletto manicure is one of the most stunning ways to wear the shade this season.

Frosty Green

Bring a little frost to your fingertips with a shimmery green mani. The polish’s pearlescent tones give it a cool tone, so it’s the perfect choice for winter.

Snowy Trees

The snowy Christmas tree is a dreamy addition to this forest-green manicure. Looking at this set, we feel we’ve been transported to a winter wonderland.

Mixed Metals

Don’t be afraid to mix metals this holiday. Start with a silver base before creating your gold French tips.

Frosted Berry

This season, frosted berry manicures are trending. It’s a simple yet stunning look that combines the powers of a good berry polish and chrome powder.

Frosted Tips

Also trending this year: frosted tips. This set dials up the festivity for a whole “frosted windowpanes, candles gleaming inside” moment.
