Check Out These Beautiful Christmas Nail Designs To Make A Statement This Holiday Season
Silver Holographic Glitter
This season, whether it’s on your outfit, makeup, or nails, there’s always room for glitter. While red glitter dust is the most well-known option, a gleaming delight of silver is always welcome. Silver also goes with most skin tones, so there’s no reason not to experiment with it.

Gold Arch Manicure
If silver isn’t your cup of tea, you might want to consider gold. Alternatively, instead of going all-out gold, you can opt for gold detailing on the tips of your nails. It gives the appearance of longer nails, which, of course, is something everyone needs this season.

Green Tortoise Shell Nails
While many ladies would stick to the green path to stay true to the holiday theme, you can do so in style as well. Green tortoise shell nails are a hit, but plain green nails can be boring. You can use long or short nails to create this Christmas nail design, and the result will be the same.

Ombré French Manicure
The ombré effect is irresistibly beautiful, especially when it comes to nails. Although you can have different shades of the same color on your nails, this would not suit a girl who prefers simplicity. If you’re this girl, you can try the ombré effect with a French manicure. Nothing, I’m sure, would make your soul happier than these nails.

Frostbite
Who doesn’t like a bit of chill? No one ever! You can try a frostbite Christmas nail design, especially if you like intricate details. While you can use colors like red, blue, and even purple to experiment with this option, a subtle yet striking variation like the one below is totally awesome.

Candy Cane
As previously stated, the majority of the nail designs in this article are ones that you can do yourself, and this is certainly one of them. Candy cane is so simple to make that you only need a few coats of your favorite Christmas color and you’re done. Yes, it’s that straightforward.

Negative Space Glitter
Why not join in on the negative space nail trend, which is still going strong? Glitter is a season-appropriate way to wear the trend because it’s the season of merriment (and sparkle). The key to nailing (pun intended) this look is to use negative space to create one or a series of patterns. You can “pattern-out” hearts, squiggly lines, Santa’s hat, and even your initials, for example. Allow your imagination to run wild.
