Festive Nail Art Ideas For Christmas

Tis the season! 🎄 - by Arielle Tsoukatos
  • 22 Dec 2020
Festive Nail Art Ideas For Christmas

When it comes to holiday-inspired beauty trends, they can run the gauntlet from extreme (hi, Christmas tree eyebrows) to subtle (see: festive make-up trends).

Christmas nail art falls somewhere in the middle as a fit-for-all and (sometimes) amateur-friendly option to keep the holiday spirit going from tips to toe.

Here, we've collated the jolliest nail designs to get you through the silly season...

Go for glitter 

Cute and quirky. What's not to love?

Glossy coats of emerald or forest green are perfect for those wanting a modest and calming look.
